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.
