Irish-born film star Jonathan Rhys Meyers was detained for several hours after allegedly punching a waiter in a drunken scuffle at a Paris airport, airport sources said on Wednesday.
The 31-year-old actor, who in 2007 was arrested and charged with being drunk and disorderly at Dublin airport, was detained on Saturday after the altercation in a bar in Charles de Gaulle airport, the sources said.
He is currently starring in The Tudors, a television series that examines the reign of England's Henry VIII.
