Jonathan Rhys Meyers Detained After Airport Brawl

The Tudors star Jonathan Rhys Meyers got into a confrontation with French police in Paris’ Charles DeGaulle airport while reportedly in a drunken state.

According to AFP, a bartender at the café area “Le Quotidien” refused to serve the 31-year-old actor, who appeared drunk. Another bar employee stepped in but JRM swung and punched the intervening waiter.

According to The Sun, JRM is quoted as saying, “You wanna hit me? Hit me!”

JRM was previously arrested in November 2007 for public drunkenness and breach of the peace at Dublin Airport.

He and Megan Fox could be twins. Unfortunate.

I read that he also threw wads of cash at the cops and bragged that he could buy himself out of any trouble. Bad move. The courts are more likely to be harsh after that arrogant display. I feel bad for him seeing as he’s obviously a raging alcoholic and slightly nuts but WHY THE HELL are people making excuses for his terrible behavior?! This annoys me because everybody suffers bereavements, break-ups etc, but most of us don’t go around behaving like spoilt brats, being rude, abusive and obnoxious and punching people who don’t deserve it. And if we did, we’d have to face the consequences. I’m not saying he doesn’t deserve any sympathy if he’s going through rough times, just that he doesn’t deserve special treatment. He behaved like an absolute moron, and I for one will only respect him if he takes full responsibility, admits his fault and apologizes. And I’ll be totally disgusted if the charges just get “dropped” like last time. He’s got to face the consequences of his actions this time, and grow the hell up. I really hope this is the wake up call he needs.
