John Rhys Meyers arrested in Ireland

Actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers has been charged with public drunkenness and breach of the peace following an incident at Dublin Airport.

The star, recently seen as Henry VIII in BBC Two’s The Tudors, was arrested after allegedly being refused entry to a London-bound flight.

The 30-year-old was released on bail and is due to appear before Dublin District Court on 5 December.

Rhys Meyers had been in the city promoting his latest film, August Rush.

The movie, which opens in the UK on Friday, also stars Robin Williams.

In April, Irish-born Meyers was admitted to a Californian rehab clinic but checked out the following month.
