He is believed to have left the facility due to work commitments.

Meyers was last in rehab May 2010, following an incident at New York's John F.

Meyers first entered rehab in April 2007.  That November, he was arrested for public intoxication at the Dublin airport, but charges were later dropped, according to the Daily Mail.

Meyers has spoken candidly in the past about his alcohol issues, saying: "When I do drink I'm like Bambi. I'm all over the place like a 16-year-old kid."

Along with his role in "Tudors," Meyers is best known for starring in "Bend It Like Bekcham" and Woody Allen's "Match Point" with Scarlett Johansson.
