Jonathan Rhys Meyers has just become a card-carrying member of Rehab: The Sequel.
The Tudors actor, who has struggled with a troubled childhood and previous problems with alcohol, has checked into a rehabilitation facility.
In 2005 Meyers did a stint in rehab at Promises in California.
But it seems he has fallen to his demons once again, as he was recently spotted looking a little ragged while purchasing what appeared to be a bottle of vodka. When he failed to appear at a couple of important recent events, folks became suspicious.
Fortunately, it seems that Meyers is also surrounded with a good support system, as a Tudors insider revealed that "He [Jonathan] is one of the nicest guys in the world, he's a pleasure to work with. He has his demons all right, and he's trying to cope with them as best he can. I couldn't have coped with even 2pc of what's being written about him. He is also great with children. If any kids ever come on the set he's really nice to them. He gets down and talks to them face to face and makes sure they get autographs and whatever they want. He's brilliant that way."
Meyers likened himself drunk to Bambi. "I'm all over the place, hopeless, like a 16-year-old kid. People notice," he says.
Here's wishing him the best!
