Jonathan Rhys Meyers and air travel just don't mix.
For the second time in two years, the Tudors king is facing charges after an airport dustup, this time for allegedly punching a waiter at a bar in Paris' Charles de Gaulle airport on Saturday.
According to Agence France-Presse, Rhys Meyers was ordered to appear in court in September on charges of "willful violence, outrage, hitting and threatening death."
No comment yet from the 31-year-old Irish-born actor, who previously logged time in rehab in 2005 and 2007, and has admitted to struggles with the bottle. "When I do [drink] I'm like Bambi. I'm all over the place, hopeless, like a 16-year-old kid. People notice," he was quoted as saying in the Irish Independent newspaper.
Just months after his 2007 trip to rehab, he was arrested in Dublin for an airport outburst. Irish authorities ultimately dropped charges of public drunkenness and breach of peace and instead issued Rhys Meyers a caution.
