Thrice-rehabbed “Tudors” star Jonathan Rhys Meyers got himself banned from a United Airlines flight last week after he pounded enough liquor in JFK airport lounge to become drunk and belligerent. Did I mention this was around seven in the morning? Radar Online says

The Irish actor was banned from flying United when he became increasingly drunk and disorderly early in the morning at New York’s JFK airport.

When airline workers noticed the actor drinking and getting out of control, they prevented him from boarding the flight to L.A.

Meyers, growing furious, flung the ‘N’ word. He had been drinking vodka and it was before 7 am. It is unclear if the actor was directing the word toward an individual or just spewing it without a specific target.

[Meyers] has a history of traveling misbehavior — in 2007, he was arrested at Dublin airport and charged with being drunk [and disorderly], and in June 2009, he was arrested after allegedly attacking a number of staff at a bar in Paris’ Charles de Gaulle airport.

I don’t condone the use of the “n-word.” But I do think it’s kinda funny when some redneck gets falling-down drunk and wants to start a fight but can’t remember the proper incendiary words, so he just starts bleating a stream of insults like a retard with Tourette’s and ends up calling a white guy with a combover the n-word. Even better if he yells, “And get your goddamn hands off my wife!” while he’s at it, even though his wife isn’t there because he isn’t fucking married and he’s the only one who doesn’t realize that he’s pissed his pants. Honest to God, I’ve witnessed both of these things one more than one occasion. Maybe it’s time I got some new friends.

You might feel like getting drunk at breakfast if you carried a man-purse, too:
