Supergirl Villain Faces Jail for Driving Offences
3 Dec, 2025
Summary
- Actor received a driving ban and fine for multiple offences.
- He failed to attend remedial driving exams.
- New charges involve refusal of breath test and aggressive behaviour.
Belgian actor Matthias Schoenaerts, slated to portray a villain in an upcoming DC Supergirl film, has been sentenced in absentia by a Belgian court. The ruling pertains to two instances in 2024 where he was caught riding a motorbike without a valid license, despite a prior 2021 driving offense.
Schoenaerts was required to undertake remedial driving exams but reportedly failed to do so. Consequently, he has been fined €4,000 and handed a new one-year driving ban. Court officials indicated that the likelihood of the actor serving jail time is minimal, and he retains the option to appeal the decision.
This conviction adds to Schoenaerts' record of 11 driving offense convictions. Reports indicate he was recently stopped by police in Pelt, Belgium, for driving without a license, refusing a breath test, and exhibiting aggressive behavior. These recent events are currently under investigation.
