Jonathan Rhys Meyers Breaks His Silence Over Drinking Photos

Jonathan Rhys Meyers Breaks His Silence Over Drinking Photos

Jonathan Rhys Meyers has spoken about the photos which emerged of the internet last week of the Irish actor looking a bit worse for wear, and swigging a bottle of vodka.

Rhys Meyers, who has struggled with alcohol problems, said 'I apologise for having a minor relapse and hope that people don’t think too badly of me.'

I'm not entirely comfortable with the fact that a man who has enough on his plate already felt he needed to apologise to a bunch of strangers but it's the times we live in I suppose. The actor made his statement via his fiancee, Mara Lane's Instagram account, adding:

I am on the mend and thank well wishers and sorry for my disheveled appearance as I was on my way home from a friends and had not changed I feel I made a mistake and feel quite embarrassed but this was just a blip in my recovery otherwise I'm living a healthy life.
