Jonathan Rhys Meyers is heading back to rehab for his alcohol addiction, his publicist confirmed after several recent related incidents at airports.  PEOPLE reported on May 19 that ‘The Tudors’ actor “just wants to get better.”

The 32-year-old Irish actor, who also appeared in the hit film ‘Bend It Like Beckham,’ first entered rehab in April 2007.  However, months later he was arrested for public intoxication in a Dublin airport.  In June 2009, Rhys Meyers was arrested again in a Paris airport after he allegedly assaulted a lounge employee after drinking.

Earlier this month, Rhys Meyers was also banned from boarding a United Airlines flight out of a New York Cit airport because he had too much to drink at a VIP lounge.  RadarOnline reported that he was disruptive and belligerent with airport staff, and was banned from flying on future United flights.
