Back in February of 2009, we learned that troubled actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers checked himself into rehab for the 3rd time in his young career and then about a year later, he was in rehab again. Since that time, JRM has stayed relatively out of the public eye … but reports claim that he still struggled with substance abuse and depression. This week, paramedics were called to JRM‘s London home and has discovered slumped onto the floor in an apparent drug overdose. It was presumed by the emergency personnel on scene that he had attempted suicide … as a result, JRM was rushed to the hospital.
Former “Tudors” star Jonathan Rhys Meyers was hospitalized in London this week, Access Hollywood has confirmed. The 33-year-old actor, who has spent time in rehab in the past for alcohol addiction, was reportedly found “slumped on the floor” when paramedics responded to an emergency call from the actor’s home on Tuesday, the UK’s The Sun reported. Once paramedics arrived, Rhys Meyers reportedly “refused treatment at the scene for more than 30 minutes,” at which point police were called, the paper claimed. He was eventually taken to a London hospital near his home on Tuesday night and discharged early Wednesday, according to reports. While some reports claimed it was an alleged suicide attempt by the actor, a source has told Access Hollywood that was not the case. “He did relapse and was hospitalized briefly for that, but was released,” the source told Access on Thursday, adding, “It was not a suicide attempt.” A rep for the actor had no comment when contacted by Access .
It’s clear that JRM has been battling his demons for years now and this is only the latest incident in a long line of sad incidents. While I don’t personally believe that JRM was actually trying to kill himself, it seems clear to me that at least on some subconscious level, Meyers is just trying to dull or kill his pain. It seems evident to me that a person who would ingest so many pills at once isn’t merely looking for a good time. We’ve been hearing about JRM‘s troubles for a long time now … which is really sad. It sounds like he’s been trying to get his life in order but that rehab is not really working for him. He was lucky this time, I think. I just hope his luck doesn’t run out before it’s too late. Poor guy.
