Actor Jonathan Rhys Myers has been banned from flying United Airlines after he was denied entry onto a flight for being drunk and using a racial slur. Airline sources tell Radaronline.com that the Tudors star, 32, had been drinking vodka heavily in the airline’s first-class lounge before trying to catch a 7 a.m. flight from New York to Los Angeles earlier this month, and hurled several epithets, including the N-word, at airline employees after being told that he was too intoxicated to fly.
