Jonathan Rhys Meyers: Arrested!

Jonathan Rhys Meyers was arrested Sunday for public drunkenness and breach of the peace at Dublin Airport.

The 30-year-old Irish actor was confronted twice by police over his “erratic, abusive” behavior at an airport gate and at a desk of the British airline BMI, on which he was planning to fly to London.

“I gave up drinking a few years ago, and this is the first time I’ve spent time in my country trying not to drink,” Jonathan Rhys said in an October 2006 interview. “I would never drink again. It is hard to avoid. But listen, you do what you want to do. I don’t want to do that. I want my career, and you can’t really do that and be successful on the screen.”
