Tudors star Jonathan Rhys Myers has had his fair share of run-ins at airports and a chronicled battle with alcohol. Now, a source has exclusively confirmed to RadarOnline.com that the actor has now been banned from flying United Airlines due to a recent drunken display.

According to a source at John F. Kennedy airport in New York, in early May Rhys Myers was booked on a United Airlines flight headed to Los Angeles. Despite the early morning departure time, airline workers noticed the actor "pounding drinks" in the first class lounge and becoming increasingly drunk and disorderly.

Rhys Myers then attempted to board the plane but was prohibited from flying due to "belligerent" and "disruptive" behavior that "was getting out of control."
When contacted by RadarOnline.com, an airline employee confirmed the story but refused to elaborate, citing passenger privacy laws.

The Tudors actor has a history of traveling misbehavior. In 2007, seven months after checking into rehab for the second time, he was arrested at Dublin airport and charged with being drunk and in breach of peace (the charges were later dropped). Then, in June 2009, three months after checking out of rehab the third time, he was arrested after allegedly attacking a number of staff at a bar in Paris' Charles de Gaulle airport.

Had the "pleasure" of sitting next to this drama queen on a flight from LA to London back in 2008.
His antics make Courtney Love look like Pat Boone.

He is such an absolutely brilliant actor and has been fantastic in The Tudors. I never missed a single episode. He should pull himself together because he has a chance to have a fantastic career now after his performance in The Tudor.

Rehab isn't working because he isn't ready for it. He is still famous and has a job that pays a ton. I doubt he feels at his rock bottom.

He is such a great actor, I don't have Showtime but I wish I could see the TUDORS on cable. Somebody help him. He has a serious drinking problem. Family intervention before it is too late.
