The Tudors actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers has checked into a rehabilitation centre to seek treatment for alcohol addiction, it has been claimed.
The 33-year-old actor, who has a long history of battling alcohol addiction, is believed to have spent 10 days in a London clinic last month.
Rhys Meyers is now thought to have left the facility due to work commitments.
It is thought Rhys Meyers' stay in the Capio Nightingale Hospital is his fourth attempt at rehab, according to the Daily Mirror newspaper.
The Irish actor last sought help for his addiction in May 2010, just days after allegedly screaming abuse at airport staff when they banned him from getting on a plane because he was drunk.
He was said to be guzzling vodkas at 7am in the VIP lounge at New York's JFK Airport where he was due to get on a flight to Los Angeles last week.
United Airlines staff barred him from boarding, which resulted in the actor launching a foul-mouthed tirade, according to reports.
The incident is believed to have been the final straw for his girlfriend, heiress Reena Hammer, who is said to have told him: 'Check into rehab or I'm dumping you.'
The 24-year-old, who is the creative director of Urban Retreat, the beauty company founded by her father, George, has been dating Rhys Meyers since 2004.
Rhys Meyers was also arrested at Dublin Airport and arrested for being drunk and in breach of the peace in November 2007. The charges were subsequently dropped.
His US publicist confirmed earlier that year that he had sought help for his addiction, releasing a statement which read: 'After a non-stop succession of filming, Jonathan Rhys Meyers has entered an alcohol-treatment program.
'He felt a break was needed to maintain his recovery.'In addition, Rhys Meyers was detained by police in June 2009 at the Charles De Gaulle airport in Paris after allegedly assaulting an bar staff employee while drunk.
The actor has previously spoken frankly about his problems coping with alcohol, admitting that 'when I do drink I'm like Bambi.
