Jonathan Rhys Myers banned, not fit to fly United Airlines
"The Tudors" star Jonathan Rhys Myers has been officially banned from flying United Airlines.According to a Radaronline.com source, Rhys Myers was booked on a United Airlines flight earlier this month from JFK airport in New York to Los Angeles.
The actor was allegedly seen "pounding drinks" in the first-class lounge and becoming increasingly drunk and disorderly.
Rhys Myers got on board the plane but was not permitted to fly due to "belligerent" and "disruptive" behavior that "was getting out of control."
And did we mention that this was an early-morning flight?
The "Tudors" actor does seem to have a checkered history of airport antics.
In 2007, seven months after his second rehab stint, he was arrested at Dublin airport and charged with disturbing the peace (charges were later dropped). In June 2009, three months after checking out of yet another rehab, he was again arrested after allegedly attacking several staff members at a bar at France's Charles de Gaulle airport.
Dude, if you need to get totally plastered before flying, perhaps a train or a boat would make more sense?

What a shame. Brilliant actor - hope he doesn't throw it away due to an alcohol problem.
Ditto. WTF? What a waste of youth and talent on a bottle of booze and problems with the law.
Jonathan was drunk at Unined Airlines May 7, and was advised to wait for a later flight, sober up and he would fly later that morning. he was not allowed to fly at all because he called an African-American woman n####r.
Gossip is such a damaging thing, but when it's so ambiguous, we will never really know what happened exactly and why, it's hard to take these recent reports as gospel as it appears to be "rumour" and "hear-say" and has only just been released when it is reported that this occurred earlier this month, although the repurcussions for Jonathan are serious if he wants credit for the acting talent he does have rather than the reptation he has for getting into sticky and tight spots. It's interesting to see what info you have provided here Jessica, people may feel inclined to ask you, where did you get your info and why did you feel the compulsion to post what you know here? What is annoying about these stories is that they are overshadowing a recent interview that Jonathan had done about the new season of the Tudors. Again Jonathan has to take a ruler to his knuckles for something "dubious", rather than get a fair, honest hearing about his projects. Talk about obtaining fame through dubious means, Jonathan is becoming increasingly more famous for being "reported" as drunk, disorderly and making appearances at events other than the ones that matter to the health of his career and so on and so on. One has to wonder is this what he wants, cause they say you attract what you desire in life don't you?
Dearest Lillith, I neither said that I heard nor speculated on the events that happened May 7 at UAL at JFK. I stated the facts, as they occured. It wasn't until the media was advised by an unknown source of the events as they occured that day, was anything said by UAL. I chose not to allow the diluted version to remain.
