Airline grounds Rhys Meyers over drunken racist rant
The Cork-born TV and film star was refused a seat on a United Airlines flight and has been banned by the airline after a bout of heavy drinking.
Some reports suggested the 32-year-old actor, who has a history of drink-flying incidents, was escorted from the plane when he called an official, who had refused him access to the boarding area, the racist ‘n’ word.
