Hollywood star Rudy Youngblood faces deportation after arrest in Greece

·

Hollywood actor Rudy Youngblood, best known for his role in Mel Gibson’s Apocalypto, is being detained at the Galatsi police station in Athens, Greece, facing potential deportation.

The 42-year-old arrived in Greece in August 2024 for a film shoot, but his visa expired at the end of November, as the law permits a stay of up to 90 days. Youngblood claims he stayed due to medical advice against travelling.

On December 27, 2024, Youngblood was stopped by police during a routine check. He alleges the officers were unidentifiable, did not explain his rights, and he struggled with the language barrier.

Youngblood was charged with resisting arrest, making threats, and carrying a weapon, as he had a pocketknife.

He was immediately sentenced to a 10-month prison term with a three-year suspension. Following his trial, his visa overstay was discovered, and an administrative deportation order was issued.

He remains detained and is expected to challenge his detention with the immigration authorities.
