Jonathan Rhys Meyers: 'I Wasn't in Rehab'

Jonathan Rhys Meyers is denying he spent time in rehab and claims his life is overwhelmingly dull.

Rhys Meyers is denying he went to rehab for a third time in February after previous trips in 2005 and 2007 to deal with an addiction to alcohol.

While The Tudors star admits he did spend time with a counselor in Middlesex, England he says, “I just felt I needed time off and I didn’t need to go to awards ceremonies. You can get slightly waylaid as an actor doing that sort of thing and I’m never that comfortable at them anyway.

“I live an incredibly low-key life. I think people would like to think I’m a hell of a lot naughtier than I am actually. I am actually quite a boring guy.

“I spent the last week and a half playing bloody golf. Me, Jonathan Rhys Meyers! If anyone saw me in those stupid golf clothes on the golf course, there would have been a different story written!”

All we know is, when he reemerged in recent months, he's looked hot and healthy for the first time since Bend it Like Beckham.

Whether it’s the golf or the rehab, he needs to keep it up.
