Matthias Schoenaerts Faces Six Months Behind Bars
4 Dec
Summary
- Actor Matthias Schoenaerts received a six-month prison sentence.
- He was also fined 4,000 euros and banned from driving.
- This sentence may impact his promotion for the upcoming Supergirl movie.
Matthias Schoenaerts, known for his roles in "The Old Guard" and "Rust and Bones," has been handed a six-month prison sentence in Beringen, Belgium. The sentence also includes a 4,000 euro fine and a year-long driving ban.
These convictions stem from multiple instances of driving without a valid license and insurance, occurring after a previous driving ban in January 2023. Despite the jail time, court officials suggest Schoenaerts may not serve the full sentence and has the option to appeal.
The timing of this legal trouble could impact promotional duties for his upcoming film, "Supergirl," scheduled for a 2026 release. Schoenaerts has a record of eleven prior convictions, with a recent arrest for alleged driving offenses and refusing a breath test.
