Jonathan Rhys Meyers was held for several hours at Charles DeGaulle Airport in Paris June 20 for allegedly hitting a waiter while drunk, AFP has reported.

The incident occurred at Le Quotidien bar, and The Tudors star has since been charged with "willful violence, outrage, hitting and threatening death."  He's been ordered to appear in court in September to respond to the allegations.

The Irish-born actor, 31, was arrested and charged in 2007 with being drunk and disorderly at a Dublin airport.
