Rhys Meyers hits Skid Row – but it’s only to help out the homeless!

ACTOR Jonathan Rhys Meyers, pictured, has been focusing on his wife Mara and son Wolf in recent months following his vow to stay sober after a drunken row on board a plane in July.

And cutting a happier and healthier figure, the Dublinborn actor was seen helping out at a homeless shelter in Skid Row, Los Angeles this week.

Jonathan, 41, supported the Los Angeles Mission as he stopped by to get involved and serve Thanksgiving dinner to the homeless ahead of the US holiday.

Happy to lend a land, Jonathan was seen donning a red apron as he stepped into the kitchen to serve up some food.

The Tudors star appeared to be enjoying his time with the charity as he flashed a smile alongside another volunteer while they took a selfie together.

Casually clad for his time with the shelter, Jonathan stepped out sporting jeans and a leather bike jacket that he paired with a plain white t-shirt underneath.

Seeming in great spirits, he was seen sharing a joke with the volunteers and keeping himself hydrated with a bottle of water as he worked.

Jonathan has vowed to stay sober after being detained following a drunken row with his actress wife Mara on board a plane in July.

In an interview on Larry King Now, the actor admitted drinking doesn’t ‘suit’ him as he spoke about the incident, which led to him being detained at Los Angeles’ LAX airport when his plane touched down on the runway.

Jonathan’s battle with alcoholism has been well documented over the years and he is believed to have had six stints in rehab – first checking into a rehab centre in Malibu in 2005 seeking treatment for alcohol abuse, before returning two years later in 2007.

But family life is softening Jonathan. Mara has credited him for ‘being a natural’ when it comes to fatherhood in the months that followed Wolf’s birth in December 2016.
