Jonathan Rhys Meyers Checks into Rahab
Jonathan Rhys Meyers has checked into rehab.
The British actor – who played Scarlett Johansson’s lover in Woody Allen’s “Match Point” – is to be treated for alcoholism.
Meyer’s representative, Meredith O’Sullivan, said: “After a non-stop succession of filming, Jonathan Rhys Meyers has entered an alcohol-treatment program. He felt a break was needed to maintain his recovery.”
The 29-year-old is currently starring as British monarch King Henry VIII in Showtime’s TV costume drama “The Tudors.”
He recently began filming “August Rush” which co-stars Keri Russell, Terrence Howard and Robin Williams.
His representative added: “Jonathan plans to resume his schedule following completion.”
Meyers – who denied romancing Scarlett off screen – has been romantically linked to Toni Collette, “She’s All That” star Rachel Leigh Cook and is said to be in an on-off relationship with heiress Reena Hammer – daughter of make-up artist Ruby Hammer.
He’s Irish not British, you Canadian muppets.
