JONATHAN Rhys Meyers was hospitalized after a suspected suicide attempt on Tuesday.
The Tudors star — who has been in rehab five times for alcohol problems — refused treatment by paramedics for more than 30 minutes, meaning they were forced to call police and he was eventually taken away by ambulance to a facility near his home in Maida Vale, north London.
“This is very sad. It was the opinion of those present that he tried to take his life,” a source said.
Worried neighbors saw the 33-year-old actor — who was believed to have overdosed on unspecified pills — rushed to hospital.
“I saw the ambulance arriving and was worried to death,” an onlooker said.
“Jonathan is a lovely guy. You see him all the time in the street. He says hello and is very pleasant. I hope he is fine.”
The Velvet Goldmine actor was discharged from hospital yesterday but would only answer “no comment” when questioned on whether he had tried to commit suicide.
A police spokesperson confirmed they had been asked to attend the incident.
“Officers were called by London Ambulance Service following reports of a man refusing treatment. The man was taken to hospital,” said one official.
