Irish actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers, who has starred in Mission Impossible III, Matchpoint, and the T.V. movie Elvis, has checked into an undisclosed rehab facility for alcohol dependency treatment. The 29-year-old actor previously attempted treatment in 2005 at Promises in Malibu, California.

His rep, Meredith O’Sullivan, made the following statement to People magazine; “After a non-stop succession of filming, Jonathan Rhys Meyers has entered an alcohol-treatment program. He felt a break was needed to maintain his recovery.”

Rhys Meyers currently plays the role of King Henry VIII on the Showtime series The Tudors and has just recently finished filming August Rush with Robin Williams, another actor who has recently completed a stint in rehab for alcohol and drug problems.
