HOLLYWOOD - Irish actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers has been arrested by police after a drunken clash with airport staff.
The August Rush star is reported to have launched into an angry tirade at Dublin Airport on Sunday after being told he was "unfit to travel."
He was then charged and spent the night in the cells.
The incident took place as the handsome 30-year-old--who entered rehab earlier this year, citing alcohol as the problem--tried to check in for a flight back to London, where he is now based, after appearing on an Irish talk show hours earlier.
According to British newspaper The Sun, witnesses saw the star being verbally abusive to a female airport worker, and repeatedly insisting, "I will get on this flight, no matter what."
A police spokesman said he was due to face two public order charges in court in Dublin on Monday. His agent was unavailable for comment.
