“The Tudors” star Jonathan Rhys Meyers was arrested Sunday on suspicion of driving under the influence after crashing his car in Malibu.
Meyers, 43, was arrested about 5:45 p.m. after deputies went to Las Flores Canyon Road and Las Flores Mesa Drive on a report of a minor crash, Deputy Trina Schrader of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department told City News Service.
Meyers was released Monday with instructions to appear in court on Feb. 25 in Van Nuys, Schrader said.
TMZ reported that police gave Meyers a sobriety test and he failed. According to TMZ, the Irish actor has a "history of substance abuse and has been to rehab several times. As we reported, a little over two years ago ... Jonathan had been drinking before going on an expletive-laced tirade directed at his wife while on board an American Airlines flight."
On Tuesday via Instagram, Meyers' wife of four years, Mara Lane, posted footage of him playing in the pool with their 3-year-old son Wolf.
"More happy highlights," she wrote. "I feel since so many of our lowlights seem to find their way on the web, fair to share some happy moments so when Wolf is older, he can search/find/see/remember the happies. #HealingWaters Each day is a gift. Tomorrow a new day. Count your many blessings, hold yourself accountable and grow, heal, recover in a way that works for you, thank God, angels, loved ones and carry on."
Meyers’ career broke out after his appearance in the 2002 film "Bend It Like Beckham." He went on to appear in such films such as "Alexander," "Match Point" and "Mission: Impossible III."
