“Just A Blip” – Jonathan Rhys Meyers Addresses Recent Photos

Jonathan Rhys Meyers has apparently taken to his girlfriend Mara Lane’s Instagram account to apologise for photographs that were taken last week. 

The photos depicted the Irish actor drinking vodka straight from the bottle on the streets of London, but he has now insisted it was just a “blip” in his recovery.

Apologising for his “dishevelled” appearance, the Irish actor thanks his friends and colleagues for their support.

Mara and I are thankful for your support and kindness during this time. I apologize for having a minor relapse and hope that people don’t think too badly of me. I stopped drinking immediately and it is no reflection on Damascus Cover as I was not meant to attend Cannes this year and I apologize to fans and colleagues. I am on the mend and thank well wishers and sorry for my disheveled appearance as I was on my way home from a friends and had not changed I feel I made a mistake and feel quite embarrassed but this was just a blip in my recovery otherwise I’m living a healthy life. Love and blessings. #Rebel #Angel

Shortly after his mother passed away in 2007, the actor told the Mail On Sunday “I haven’t even thought about drinking since my mother passed away.

“Drinking is not the way forward for me at all.”
