Irish actor Jonathan Rhys-Meyers reportedly has checked into rehab in a bid to kick his alcohol addiction. The name of the facility where he's been treated isn't disclosed, but it has been claimed that he is attending a recovery center in England.
Per website Independent.ie, suspicions on Meyers checking into rehab arose following his absence from several awards events. Earlier this month, the actor skipped the Irish Film and Television Awards (IFTAs), where his acclaimed TV series "The Tudors" won a total of 10 awards. He, moreover, didn't attend the Oscar Wilde Awards, which is the annual celebration of the Irish in Hollywood, which was staged in Los Anegles just before the 81st Annual Academy Awards.
There hasn't been any denial nor verification from Meyers' camp regarding report of him checking into rehab. But, should report on that matter is proven true, it officially marks Meyers' third attempt at rehab. Back in 2005, he enrolled in Malibu, California's Promises Clinic in a bid to get sober, and then he sought another treatment for his addiction to alcohol in April 2007.
In the meantime, the next series of "The Tudors" won't start filming until June later this year.
