He is a fine bit of stuff alright, friend of mine went on a date with him many many moons ago...(lucky cow).

I think he seemed very on edge on the show. I would have thought he was on something... But obviously not... Glad to see he talked openly about his problem...

He did seem a bit nervy and jittery with the hair touching ( he turned it into a pony tail at end ) and the water bottle seemed to be a crutch of sorts, still i thought he gave a good account of himself with his talk of the pressures of fame ,alcohol and the joys / pains that go with it .

lostexpectation

being an alcohol since 14 isn't to be praised

Latchy

He did mention his alcoholisim in detail with Ross

Q. Peaches Geldof goes on Tubridy Tonight and Colin Farrell on Friday Night with JR. What the f**k is wrong with RTE?

Colin has always struck me as a totally down to earth fella and far easier to like than Johnathan Rhys Myers, who is often way too serious and essentially boring. He's also an incredible actor. 'Tigerland' is his finest work without a doubt. Great film.

*He lost his virginity at 16 after his dad brought him to a brothel in Dublin. Don't ask me how I know that!

Coiln is only doing what a million other guys ,irish or not would love to do and that is live life in the fast lane ,lay as many wimmin as possible that a guy with his looks can have , while seeing the world and having a great time doing it ,while still young .His drink problems are of course a price to pay for it


He's not a bad actor either

I'm sure in reality Colin Farrell is very friendly, but he also strikes me as extremely self styled and affected. Watching him smoking and cursing while dressed like a tramp on red carpets is merely nauseating and doesn't endear him to the common people in the way he might think.

Not that I'm standing up for Tubridy's show but Colin Farrell was on his show already this year.

Anywho just watched it on You Tube....I don't like his hair long (think he's an absolute ride with shorter hair!) but I thought he came across a lovely, honest, genuine guy. Nervous and jittery yeah but that's nothing to be ashamed about, he's probably still getting used to life being sober for a change. I thought it was a great interview.

todolist

The only thing that's annoying about him is this stupid pretense to be working class.He's as middle class as they come.Really annoying that.Plus I hate it when Gerry Ryan pretends to be an ordinary Joe and worry about his pension and where his next pay packet is coming from.He's a bloody millionaire for crying out loud.

I thought so to , and only ment for the nervous jittery quote as an observation more than anything ,probably as i thought and you say as a result of being sober .He is unususal in that he was catapulted to fame from an irish soap opera and by his own admission had drink from an early age .

If he stays on the piss, he won't remember any of it in thirty years time, bit like Ozzie Osbourne, who reckons the last 25 years was a bit of a blur.

Really great interview, always nice to see personal growth from someone like that.

Well, if you look at the family that Ozzie somehow collected during his 25 year coma, Colin should join the Pioneers, or he'll end up with his own strange fugly brood. :eek:

Reminds me a little of Heath ledgers last interview he gave to CNBC before his death.
The same fidgiting and self grooming, as if he had a line of coke waiting for him in the limo after the show.

Degsy

I hate colin farrell and i cant understand why he's a star as he cant bleedin act.

Latchy

Colin has the look of the washed out coke/ drinking head ok and sure he will have taken on board the death of Heath Ledger as a warning to what can happen .As for his acting abilities , his face fits in some roles and not others

In Bruges was sh*t, not helped by his brutal acting, Cassandra's Dream was another pile of sh*t. He wasn't too bad in Phonebooth (he didn't have much to do in fairness) and I actually liked him in Intermission, but he's not a good actor. I don't think he's all that hot either, he always looks dirty.

Tommy the Cat

He was good in Tigerland & Phonebooth, but has gone downhill since. I've met him before and he's a sound bloke.

*Dallas

i think the long hair and frail appearance are for a film role ..

http://perezhilton.com/2008-05-14-getting-all-method

i much prefer him with shorter hair and a bit of beef on him.

i think he was the same on tuberty, all fidgitey n' fixing his hair.. i think he's uncomfortable talking about himself, strikes me as one of those actors that gets painfully shy about his personal life.

Yes it could be shyness..that or he was coked off his bin.

Just watched Intermission again the other night. Fantastic performance from Farrell.

The other movie I TRIED to rent was Phone Booth, which I loved first time. Stupid Chartbusters... didn't have Dazed and Confused, High Fidelity, Eternal Sunshine OR Phone Booth... Jeeees.:P

He reminded me of the way Heath Ledger was before he died too. The last interview heath gave where he was talking about his daughter was painful to watch especially in hindsight. He was obviously suffering with his nerves.

Colin on the otherhand seems to be way more articulate than before he (alledgedly)gave up the booze and god knows what else so who knows. Maybe he is just nervous combined with being sober which he seemingly is new to ! Really don't know as have never taken drugs so don't really know what reaction u can have.

Hope he's clean though he does seem like a decent guy not to mention HOT ! Good actor too he just needs the right role in the right film! Good at accents too. Well the american one anyway haven't seen Cassandra's Dream. He doesn't court the press either unlike most of Hollywood.

I'm no huge fan of farell but he seemed friendly, witty, coherent and self-deprecating. Fair play to him. Not a hollywood tosser yet. Don't mind this comparison to Ledger. Farell was in complete control. People love to see a tragedy whenever they can. Ledgers death was an accident and all this hindsight analysis about his talk of his daughter is bull****. Gossip at its worst. Gowan away and read the next Jordan autobiography for yer fix. ****ing vultures.

dollybird6

Heath in his last interview was speaking about his daughter , how he had contrasting feelings in that he was so proud to have her and felt like he had accomplished something if anything ever happened to him, but at the same time he would hate not to be around to see her grow up. Is this not very sad in hindsight?

He was also very nervy, fidgeting and messing with his hair. It was commented on by many who watched it.This is the comparison being made with Colin. We are not saying the same thing is going to happen to Colin, as you said yourself it was an accident. Colin is great and seemingly doing very well with his sobriety.

Also I wouldn't be a fan of reading Jordan's books but i wouldn't look down on those who do. What harm are they. If you are so high brow yourself why are you on a showbiz forum?

Just because someone is fidgeting with their hair doesn't mean they are nervy. Maybe they are a bit uncomfortable with the limelight. Look at any interview with Johnny Depp, He's constantly moving, scratching his head, beard whatever. Farell, Depp and Ledger have at one time all been pigeonholed as goodlookers rather than serious actors. Maybe why thats why they all adopt a rather scruffy, scratchy look. I personally wouldn't include Farell in the same legue as Depp and Ledger but they are all miles ahead of the media circus that is Brad and Angelina or Gorgeous George Clooney. They are not all Hollywood smiles and bull**** and turning up at the opening of an envelope.

As for me being highbrow, look at my book case. it's anything but. But a 30 year old with 2 autobiographys out is taking the piss. Roger Moore is 80 odd and just released his first. Now that might be worth reading. At least the man has lived. Her books are nothing more than extended sun/star articles with a load of photos throw in. And before you go off on me about sun/star readers yes I believe most of them to be complete idiots. Not the casual readers who want a bit of light entertainment during their lunch break but the type of idiot who burns down a pediatricians office because the Sun/Star ran an article on pedophiles and these idiots can't spell. You know the type, don't bull**** me that you don't. Everybody does.

This obsession with people who are famous for absolutley no reason just beggers belief. Jordans books top of various bestsellers list for weeks....The mind boggles.

I agree with everything that you say, but you shouldn't have brought in any criticism regarding spelling.:eek:

Fair enough Point taken. But you get my point.

dollybird6

Well thats exactly why I wouldn't read her books, she doesn't even write her novels herself anyway. But if someone wants to read a bit of fluff after a hard days work more power to them. its escapism at the end of the day. Each to their own and all that.

Maybe it is nerves or whatever with colin, johnny etc. So they all remind us of Heath ok? Just making a comparison about body language and a lot have watched the last interview with heath on news etc . Don't think that makes all of us ****ing vultures ! That's all

Hollywood actor Colin Farell has said he’s glad he failed an audition for boyzone years ago - because he wouldn’t have “lasted too long” in the band.
The actor tried out with the boyz in the 1990s while he was a struggling actor in Ireland, but was rejected during the audition phases for his lack of vocal talent.
Farrell eventually landed a role in the drama series Ballykissangel in 1998 and went on to forge a high profile career in Hollywood.
And the star admits he’s pleased he was never accepted into boyzone - because it would have sent his life off on a very different path.
He says, “I don’t think I would have lasted in the band too long. Life would have been very different, very different.
“I certainly wouldn’t have lasted a reunion I don’t think.”

I'm glad he didnt get in he is a much better actor than singer
