Dracula actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers has broken his silence after images surfaced of him drinking alcohol on a London street earlier this month.
The 37-year-old Tudors star, who has previously battled with alcohol abuse, apologised to fans via his fiancée Mara Lane's Instagram account.
He wrote: “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."
He continued: “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 dishevelled 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.”
He finished the message with, “Love and blessings. #Rebel #Angel”.
