Jonathan Rhys Meyers On The Wagon

It's good to see that one member of young Hollywood takes their sobriety seriously. Perez Hilton reports that The Tudors hottie Jonathan Rhys Meyers is speaking out about his battle with alcohol and his commitment to stay off the sauce. Meyers was admitted into an alcohol treatment program in April 2007, but checked out after just one month. Apparently, it wasn't time well spent as the Irish actor was arrested in November 2007 at the Dublin Airport for public drunkeness and breach of peace, shortly after the death of his mother. Meyers admits that he doesn't drink because it turns him into a baby deer. Huh? Check it out. "I haven't even thought about drinking since my mother passed away. Drinking is not the way forward for me at all. Since I was 27 I must have been drunk maybe a dozen-and-a-half times - but when I do, I'm like Bambi. I'm all over the place, hopeless, like a 16-year-old kid. People notice. Now drink doesn't fit into where I want to go. I want to do something useful with my life. Drinking is not synonymous with that. To be honest, I just leave it alone and hope people will, too, but I don't really care. The whole drinking thing with me has been blown out of all proportion anyway." We're not really sure what it is that causes Meyers to turn into Bambi; we're just happy he's got a handle it. Because honestly, that's just plain bizarre.
