Irish actor Jonathan Rhys-Meyers was detained by French police on Saturday afternoon, June 20 after he was involved in a drunken scuffle at a Paris airport. According to Agence France-Presse, he was placed in custody for several hours after allegedly punching a waiter at "Le Quotidien" bar in terminal 2F at Charles de Gaulle airport.
The incident began when a bartender at the venue refused to serve Rhys-Meyers, who appeared to be drunk. The star was then involved in a shouting fight with the bar's manager. Another employee was quick to come to their way, attempting to separate them. It was during that time that Rhys-Meyers punched the intervening waiter.
Rhys-Meyers reportedly was handcuffed when being placed in custody. He was said remaining in a sober lock-up area for three hours before being released. He is ordered to appear in court in a Paris suburb September later this year on charges of "willful violence, outrage, hitting and threatening death."
Arrested for drunken scuffle isn't something new for Jonathan Rhys-Meyers. Back in November 2007, he was arrested in Dublin Airport for a drunken clash with airport staff. The arrest occurred just months after he checked into an alcohol-treatment program.

He is a wonderful actor. Just this problem with alcool. But nobody confirmed the news yet :S. Just gossip... Dunno but I really like him and wish the bests...
i feel for him. god bless him and may he get the help he needs to get better.
that's really bad...the guy quite obviously has a severe drink problem and I feel sorry for him, but its no excuse for his terrible behavior. He should face up to it and apologize, and try to get clean. People look to celebrities as role models (I guess they shouldn't, but they do) and celebs need to be aware of that.
he's a spoiled, illmannered BRAT.
Cool guy.just saw his profile on a wonderful club called, "interracialsingleonline Com"
