I know it’s rather callous of me but sometimes I enjoy watching a quality celeb meltdown. Woah, hop off your high-horse for a second and tell me there wasn’t a part of you that enjoyed watching Bieber fall to bits. How about Amanda Bynes going from Nickelodeon princess to social media rant queen?

Other times you read reports of those in the limelight and you can’t help but feel sympathetic. Jonathan Rhys Meyers, once Golden Globe Winner and popular actor, looks to have fallen on pretty tough times of late. He is probably most well-known for his role in The Tudors, where he looked like this:

Quite the shock when he was spotted swigging a bottle of vodka on the street last week then, looking rather dishevelled and obviously battling some serious demons.

Here’s Express with the blow-by-blow:

Jonathan was seen staggering along a London street, vodka bottle in hand, with his flies undone.

He was apparently oblivious to the fact his coat was on inside out and he had spilled half his drink down his T-shirt.

…the film star was “initially turned down” when he attempted to buy the vodka, before “eventually leaving with two bottles”.

Rhys Myers does have a long history of alcohol abuse, having been arrested several times over the past 10 years for booze-related indiscretions. He even went as far as to check himself into rehab back in 2011.
