Meyers stunned into sobriety by mother's death

Actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers kicked his alcohol addiction after the death of his mother - because her untimely demise gave him the determination to do more with his life.

The Irish star's mum Geraldine Meyers-O'Keeffe suffered a stroke in November, and Meyers turned to drink in a bid to cope with the news - resulting in his arrest for drunken behaviour at a Dublin Airport hours later.
