Actor Tyler Christopher was arrested after allegedly passing out drunk at a South Carolina airport Friday.

The “General Hospital” star, 50, was handcuffed after cops received reports of a man snoozing on the ground at the American Airlines terminal, TMZ reports.

Cops told the outlet that the incident was alcohol-related, and officers proceeded to approach the actor and wake him.

He ultimately missed his flight and was booked for public intoxication, the outlet adds.

Christopher reportedly displayed clear signs of intoxication and was “unable to care for himself.”

Page Six has reached out to Christopher’s reps for comment.

It’s not the first time he’s had a run-in with the law for a similar instance.

In November 2019, he spent his 47th birthday behind bars when he was arrested for public intoxication at his residence in Martinsville, Indiana.

TMZ reported at the time that an Uber driver called the police after he dropped off Christopher at home, and the actor was allegedly passed out and urinated himself.

He was accused of “harassing, annoying or alarming another person” while in a state of intoxication caused by alcohol or a controlled substance.

It was his second public intoxication incident that month.

Christopher is best known for playing Nikolas Cassadine on “General Hospital” from 1996 to 2016. He is also known for his role of Stefan DiMera on “Days of Our Lives.”

Christopher is married to auto racing pit reporter Brienne Pedigo. They share a 10-year-old son, Greysun James, and a  4-year-old daughter, Boheme.

He was previously married to “Desperate Housewives” star Eva Longoria from 2002 to 2004.

It comes just weeks after “General Hospital” star Haley Pullos was arrested after allegedly driving under the influence and causing a car accident that left one person severely injured.

The actress — known for playing Molly Lansing-Davis on the ABC show — drove into oncoming traffic on a freeway in Pasadena, Calif., on April 29, according to a police report obtained by TMZ.

She was reportedly going 60 mph when she swerved and flew over a barrier before hitting another car head-on.

Pullos, 24, was stuck inside her totaled vehicle and unable to exit when authorities arrived, according to the outlet.
