Jonathan Rhys-Meyers was arrested at Dublin Airport recently, charged with being drunk and disorderly. He had just appeared on Tubridy Tonight, to promote his new film, and managed to take a big feed of drink between that appearance and his arrival at the airport.
Yesterday morning, the actor's mother passed away in Cork after a brief illness.
The Irish-born actor has admitted to a drinking problem, and spent a short time in rehab. As any reformed alcoholic knows, there are often stumbling blocks along the road to recovery. If you don't have someone to ease you over, you'll fall.
The gossip columns will make much of the arrest. The Irish courts will not. There but for the grace of God, you see.
