    I love how he didn't say "Because I'm an alcoholic." he said "Because I shouldn't drink."...The first step is admitting you have a problem as they say.

    For some people to admit that they are powerless over alcohol and that they are in fact an alcoholic, is sadly near impossible. Often their ego will be an incredible scaffold in their denial. It’s so sad. I’ve lost many friends who simply couldn’t admit that they were an alcoholic (Step 1) and on their final view days of life and still drinking, having watched them destroy themselves, every one around them, their loved ones, careers etc etc they are still in a state of huge denial. It’s a bastard of an illness. I’m so lucky to have found recovery and every day I am hugely grateful to be alive. He’s a wonderful Actor, I hope he gets sober soon and discovers the gifts of living a sober life.

    How very judgemental of you. The use or non-use of the word "alcoholic" does not alter the fact that he has alcohol abuse disorder and he knows it. Many people around him are also aware.
    "Alcoholic" is an antiquated term that is no longer used in the DSM-V to define the physical and psychological condition of being addicted to ethanol / having an ethanol intolerance. It is also likely that he has a dual diagnosis, meaning that he suffers from depression, anxiety, or another condition that he self-medicates with alcohol.

    @nkne.7040 5 років тому +6

    I think this man is astonishingly handsome and incredibly talented. His range can transform him into any character you want him to be on screen.
    However, I do hope he finds the help he needs to fight his demons. He tap-danced around calling himself an alcoholic. He selected his words carefully to avoid saying that basic statement: "I shouldn't drink because I am an alcoholic." He just couldn't bring himself to admit that out loud, and perhaps that's because saying it out loud might make it too real for him. Perhaps he doesn't believe he has a problem. Some people genuinely believe, as long as they are employed/employable, and paying their bills, then their drinking is 'not so bad'. The sad truth Mr. Rhys Meyers is that you cannot fix what you don't acknowledge. If your alcohol consumption has caused turmoil in your relationships with others, and your life, that makes it a problem you no longer have control over.
    Saying "I shouldn't drink", is not the same as saying: "I am am alcoholic. I have a drinking problem. I don't know when to stop, and when I consume too much, I become an angry drunk." Those are harsh truths to admit to ourself. I know.
    Your response sounded very scripted. I get it: airline snafu, teething baby, long day of travel... We get it.
    But none of that negates the fact that you had a drink or 2 or 3 or 5, because you are an alcoholic. Your wife was asleep (per your own statements), so perhaps you thought you could have the alcohol without her knowing, but when you behaved the way you did, your alcohol consumption needs to be addressed. Wishing you well. You are a great talent.

    @BKrankl 5 років тому +2

    SORRY THAT THIS IS SUCH A HUGE COMMENT BUT IT COMES FROM THE HEART: I don´t know if I have the right to say this because I don´t know Jonathan Reys Meyers in person. But I do know that I am sincerely interested in an artists soul and thinking. I´ve always wanted to see the PERSON BEHIND THE ART- be it a musician or an actor or whatever artist. It´s not about gossip. It interests me what spirit is behind the art. Sometimes it is so sad and destructive, sometimes it´s enlightening and healing. But really often you seem to find out that those highly creative people are deeply troubled souls. Maybe that is why they are able to create what they do? I´ve had this genuine interest since I am a teenager and I am married to an artist now. I may be wrong but I think that there is nothing more personal than showing the world YOUR art because it comes from deep within yourself. Again I might be wrong to say that when we "CONSUME" movies, music or whatever art there is out there we are not aware of how VULNERABLE those artists are who made this. The film and the music industry is extremely rough. The business representatives of the companies see the money and if it was successful or not but they seem to forget that this is not only "a business" for a true artists soul. With every role they play, with every song they produce they give the world a piece of their soul IF THERE ARE GENUINE INTENTIONS BEHIND IT. IT ISN´T LIKE A BUSINESS PRODUCT THAT SUCCEEDS OR FAILS. To them it is much more than that and it is much more personal. No wonder why so many artists are totally screwed up. How many of them eventually die by abusing substances or killing themselves? It is so hard to deal with the world consuming your art however they want- sometimes YOU are the huge SUCCESS and the next day YOU are a huge FLOP. I think that this is how most artists see it: It is not the product. It becomes PERSONAL and this is so hard to deal with. In addition I think many artists deal with depression or manic depressive disorder. One knows that this is often a reason for alcoholism. But it is still a tabu to talk about it. WE OFTEN TALK ABOUT IT WHEN IT´S TOO LATE- then we are so sad and shocked..... Robin Williams is just one of the many victims of depression. I am not trying to say that Jonathan Reys Meyers is depressive. I don´t know him. I am trying to say that there are often many rough circumstances for artists to deal with.
    I came across Jonathan Reys Meyers some time ago and I wanted to know a little more about this ARTIST. I am not saying that any of this is correct because it is only my feeling, my impression about him but I am saying it with A GENUINE AND DEEP RESPECT for him as a HUMAN BEING and also HIS FAMILY. This man has a wife who has to deal with this and a son, brothers and friends. Just because they are famous, they are not out there to be discussed like objects. THEY ARE HUMAN AND THEY HAVE FEELINGS LIKE WE DO TOO!! Think of some of those comments on the internet from this perspective. And please don´t say now that this is the price for being famous. THOSE WHO CHOSE TO MAKE SUCH COMMENTS ARE THE ONES WHO MAKE IT THE PRICE FOR BEING FAMOUS. It doesn´t have to be that way! IT IS OUR CHOICE HOW WE TREAT FAMOUS PEOPLE: AS HUMANS OR OUR OBJECTS.
    Regarding Jonathan Reys Meyers: When you first see him- I think most see an exceptionally good looking man. But it doesn´t seem like pure beauty to me. There is alot of sexual energy to his looks. I also suppose for some men (!!!). This seems to be a blessing or curse at the same time because it is harder for him to be seen as the excellent actor that he is. To many he is an object of their phantasy and it is about his looks. This is certainly nice in some ways but I don´t know if it is so good for the soul if people are so attracted by your looks. Also people expect you to keep that looks all the time. But it´s impossible to keep the looks and the sexual vibes of a young man. You get older, life shapes you and your looks and vibes change. No plastic surgeon, no fitness studio can give anyone the vibes of youth. That´s not negative but if you read the comments here you might think so. Jonathan Reys Meyers is over 40 years old and he is still very good looking. My God- he became older. We all do.There is only one choice- either you die young like James Dean or you grow older and begin to see the beauty of age and experience. No wonder he looks a bit skinny- knowing what he has to go trough after his relapse had become public. And please get over the makeup artist. He or she used the wrong color of foundation for this TV interview. So be it. THIS MAN IS STRUGGLING WITH SERIOUS ISSUES that might cost his career and eventually his life and soul if he doesn´t find a way to fight it properly and THIS IS HOW WE SUPPORT HIM? WITH COMMENTS ABOUT BAD FOUNDATION and whether he still looks good or not? I bet that the pressure that we expect him to stay young, good looking and sexy as we want to see him and all those comments about that also make it hard for him to stay sober. I have alot of issues myself but I am not keen on alcohol but if I read all those comments and this was me, I´d probably like a drink myself. To me Jonathan Reys Meyers always seemed extremely vulnerable and behind his intellectual talk and proper language (which I like by the way because you understand him well- I wouldn´t if he spoke Irish) and his very serious answers there seems to be a man STRUGGLING WITH ANGER AND DEEP EMOTIONAL WOUNDS- maybe also wanting his true artistic talent to be seen. I think he is an excellent actor and I love his love for music. He comes across as likeable person.....No wonder he is uncomfortable: You have to talk to the whole world about your alcohol problem (something deeply personal and surely shameful- or would you like to speak about this on TV?) and we discuss if he is still good looking. I am sure the world can support Jonathan Reys Meyers to stay sober BY SHOWING HIM RESPECT AND TRUE LOVE. I am not talking about fake compliments. THE INTERNET COMMUNITY AND THE WORLD shouldn´t be shocked when another star dies of an overdose or killed himself. There are often signs long before that happens. At THAT POINT we can support them and show them love and respect. Here is a sign of a struggling human being: HEY, JONATHAN REYS MEYERS, I wish YOU would read this: WE ALL HAVE OUR PROBLEMS. NONE OF US IS PERFECT. I always want to be perfect but it makes me and you human that we aren´t. There is nothing to be ashamed of. The only one who should be ashamed and are the ones who contribute to his addiction by showing him disrespect in all kinds of ways. I wish Jonathan Reys Meyers and his family truly well. I wish that he frees himself from all the emotional burdens that make him unhappy. My feeling is that he has already suffered enough from his demons. I wish him and his family TRUE HAPPINESS AND SATISFACTION. I know this is is very hard in such a business driven industry and very hard when being a star and being the worlds object of all kinds of compensations and phantasies. I wish that he can become a thankful and happy man for the huge talent GOD (or whoever is responsible for that) gave him and separate from all the negativeness around him. I hope he can be a good man, father, husband and friend...

    I remember watching this awhile ago, I was stunned by his appearance. Like with most things in life, I forgot about it. I'm watching one of his movies right now, Six Souls aka Shelter. Looking online to catch up on how he's doing I came across this gem and once again I was stunned. He's so good looking in the film, a 2010, and it's incredible to see the change. I hope he stays clean, goes to anger management (based upon other accounts) and gets his act together if not for himself, than his son, Wolf.

      Betty Santoro But he didn't address it, he said it doesn't agree with him. He wasn't sober either, his wife literally posted pictures of them drinking, partying it up days before this drama happened. I hope he realizes that he needs to be more honest with himself, admit he's a alcoholic and go to rehab. Divorce if his wife doesn't work out for his health but, at least a long, very long rehab stay, anything. He has to want help first and admit he needs it. Nobody improves that quickly in days just by talking to "someone". He just wanted to sweep it under a rug by the looks of it in that interview.

      Jamal Bashour Who's hating on him? It's not hating on him if it's the truth. Down playing what he is - a alcoholic, that won't help him. He needs help to fight it but, only he can do that. Of course he's a beautiful talented actor, phenomenal caring beautiful human being, but, his alcoholism will kill him, if he doesn't do anything but, shrug it off like no big deal and that he can get better in a couple days. That's unrealistic and it worries me but, again holistic treatments works wonders no? ... Sorry I do wish him the best, I'm hopeful he will.

      Nothing against his wife but, it's best to separate or divorce because, they always seem to be fighting all the time. This wasn't their first time being caught, many fights went "unreported" but it happened, even Mara quickly tried to cover one up with "rehearsal of lines"...ok 🙄. So, I'm sure that isn't healthy for any of them. Adds more fuel for Jonathan's disease of alcoholism.

    • @unicornteardrop1434
      @unicornteardrop1434 6 років тому +7

      Betty Santoro What's wrong with you not researching this man's history with his alcohol problem? They can raise their child perfectly fine separately in a better environment without the child watching his parents destroy each other and then put fake smiles about it.

    • @unicornteardrop1434
      @unicornteardrop1434 6 років тому +4

      Betty Santoro The only thing right about your rant that it's his choice to change his life and good for you staying with an alcoholic for 25yrs, that must have been so fun! I will judge Jonathan 990,000,000 times till next Sunday because, he did everything...now get this... PUBLICLY!! Agree or disagree. I watched my parents literally fight all my childhood because they decided to stay together for my sake. My sake turned out to be, me as adult, living with depression, anixety and attempted suicide. Jonathan's and Mara's actions will affect Wolf, it's up to them if they want to change that and divorce. Yes divorce! Imagine the horror! ...🙄

    • @unicornteardrop1434
      @unicornteardrop1434 6 років тому +4

      Betty Santoro The ones that get sober survive. The ones that just stay and decided not too, or like what Jonathan is doing, shurg it off as a "bad day", excuses after excuses, will damage themselves and their love ones. That damage will last forever. Forever. Peace out, taking my "anger issues" to good use. Have a good day, God Bless and let Jesus into your heart and He will heal you.

He's aging, but he's still a beautiful man.
