LONDON, England -- Former "Tudors" star Jonathan Rhys Meyers was reportedly hospitalized in London this week after an alleged suicide attempt, according to reports out of the UK.
The 33-year-old actor, who has spent time in rehab in the past for alcohol addiction, was reportedly found "slumped on the floor" when paramedics responded to an emergency call from the actor's home, the Sun reported.

Once paramedics arrived, Rhys Meyers reportedly "refused treatment at the scene for more than 30 minutes," at which point police were called, the paper claimed.
He was eventually taken to London hospital near his home on Tuesday night and discharged early Wednesday.

A rep for the actor had no comment on the incident, when contacted by several outlets, including People magazine. However, according to People, a source confirmed the hospitalization, but noted it was not a suicide attempt, as had been previously reported.
"He did relapse but he did not try to commit suicide," the source said, according to People. "He was taken to the hospital and then released."
Additionally, a spokesperson for Scotland Yard told the mag, "We can confirm we were called by the London Ambulance Service to an address in NW8 to report to a man refusing treatment. Police attended, and the man was taken by ambulance to a central London hospital. That was the end of our involvement."
