Colin Farrell raised pulses a few weeks ago when he was photographed running shirtless in Los Angeles. But Wednesday, Colin tugged at our heartstrings when he got choked up about the homeless situation currently overwhelming LA. While speaking with guest host Wanda Sykes on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Colin switched from jovial to sincere to discuss the impact the pandemic has had on society. One terrible outcome is the surge in the unhoused population to which Colin referred. Yahoo Entertainment has his comments.
During what began as an upbeat and fun interview with Colin Farrell on Jimmy Kimmel Live Wednesday, the actors mood suddenly changed after he brought up the current homelessness crisis in Los Angeles. Its a problem thats not hard to miss, especially in Hollywood, where the show is taped. Farrell was talking about the difficulty of the past year in terms of the pandemic and social unrest with fill-in host Wanda Sykes, before gesturing toward the outside of the building.
?The homelessness here. Its pretty tough to see,? Farrell said, beginning to tear up. ?Its pretty tough to see. I dont get it. Am I doing anything about it right now? No. Id like to think about doing something about it. I dont understand how so many people can be on the street.?
The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority said there were 66,436 people in Los Angeles County experiencing homelessness as of January 2020. But that number is expected to rise dramatically in a post-COVID world.
[From Yahoo!]
I feel Colin on this. Obviously, the pandemic is not solely to blame for the unhoused situation. I think it shined a brighter light on it, though. Many Angelenos are waking up to how many of our neighbors are forced to live on the streets. The complexities of the problem are far too vast for me to go into here. One of the few good things about that terribly done Netflix series, The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel, is it did explain how systematic LAs homelessness is. I?ve seen an increase in the last two years. Whether that is me being more aware or an actual increase, I don?t know. I do know that there are several homeless encampments near Union Station and none of them were visible during the Oscars. The city vehemently denies moving those populations to other areas, but they?ve lied about moving communities before. I also understand what Colin is saying about not doing anything personally. I donate time, clothing, money. I watch my ballot measures and attend council meetings regarding shelters and housing. But I know I?m not doing enough, not for the numbers we have and certainly not for what?s coming. Yahoo points out that Colin does work with the Homeless World Cup Foundation. Plus he helped a man in Toronto who needed essentials. It?s easy to get angry at rich people shedding tears for less fortunate, but at least he?s talking about it.
Colin?s emotions are on high for a couple of reasons these days. He just completed the Brisbane Marathon in June. More pressing, though, his son Jack, who has Angelman syndrome, turns 18 this year. Colin and Jack?s mother, Kim Bordenave, are filing for a conservatorship of Jack to continue to access his medical records and to make decisions for him. Since Jack is nonverbal, he cannot state who he would want as conservator, so the courts have to decide. The court date is set for Sept 27.

I?ll admit it, I was intrigued by the first ?trailer? for The Batman, starring Robert Pattinson. I enjoyed seeing emo guyliner Bruce Wayne, and I am curious about how they?re going to do the ?Batman: Master Detective? thing. But I also feel like this production is cursed! They were filming The Batman in England in February and March, but they had to shut down the production because of the pandemic. Then Rob went into isolation in London, and he apparently didn?t keep up with his fitness for the role whatsoever. Then, days after the production came back, Rob tested positive for the virus. That was several weeks ago. Rob is back, and the production is back.
These photos are from yesterday, where the production has moved to Liverpool to shoot exteriors. Liverpool as Gotham? Sure, why not. I have a question: is Rob wearing a Bruce Wayne wig or does his hair actually look like that now? I feel like it?s a really bold styling choice to make Bruce Wayne look like he has a ?90s Skater Boi haircut, complete with a terrible dye job. YIKES! The feel of this IS very emo-goth-?90s, right?
Meanwhile, this is apparently Colin Farrell as the Penguin. I? don?t believe it? The photos are 100% labeled ?Colin Farrell.? Why is Rob?s styling so bad and yet Colin?s facial prosthetics are so high-quality? Is all of the money going to Colin?s stuff? And sorry, whenever I see a young, handsome actor take on a role where he has to wear a huge amount of prosthetics, I ALWAYS think ?wouldn?t it be easier to just cast someone else?? Paul Giamatti is just sitting there, you know? (I love Giamatti as an actor, but dude would have been in the makeup chair for maybe 20 minutes as the Penguin.)
Bonus: Zoe Kravitz serving LOOKS as Selina Kyle.

I could lie back, close my eyes and listen to Colin Farrell all day long but why would I want to close my eyes if I could look at him? Colin?s out promoting Dumbo so he stopped by Ellen DeGeneres? show. And, since St. Patrick?s Day is almost here, Ellen asked Colin if he goes full green or not. The answer, no ? because he?s Irish so why would he?
Is St. Patrick?s Day a big occasion for you? Do you celebrate?
No, not at all. I?m Irish and I know a little bit about the story of St. Patrick who brought Christianity to the great island of Ireland but, there?s no green beer. I never saw a green beer until came to America. Never heard of such a ridiculous as a green beer. It?s nothing to do with the luck of a beer, it?s all about the taste and the effect, of course. But anyway, green beer, I?m not against it. We don?t dye the rivers green.
So it?s not as big a deal as it is here
It?s not as big a deal as it is here. I mean, it is a big deal, but we don?t need an excuse to get pissed. That?s a Tuesday, you know.
I?m the Irish descendant on the CB crew. My husband and my ancestors both hail from County Limerick, him: Adare, me: Hospital. So St. Patrick?s Day is a Big. Deal. at Hecate Temple. Primarily it?s an excuse for us to play our Irish Rovers CDs and eat Corned Beef (which I know is also an American thing but OMG do I love it). The number one reason we celebrate St. Patrick?s Day is Irish Soda Bread. I make my mother?s recipe that omits the sugar and serve it hot from the oven with mounds of fresh butter. My children lie in wait and the minute it?s placed on the carving board, they pounce. St. Paddy?s is, in fact, one of the only days I actually drink beer, but I make Black and Tans and don?t dye anything green. Like Colin said, I don?t need an excuse to get my Irish on. However, the fact that there is an excuse, I?ll take it. As Ellen mentioned, it?s on Sunday so I won?t be imbibing much but expect me to have a food hangover next Monday. Slinte!
Colin started the interview talking about his sons, James, 15 and Henry, 9. Ellen asked if James was driving and Colin said he didn?t know if James would ever drive due to his Angelman syndrome but added, ?I?m not one to limit the potential of what he?ll experience in his life.? There are 100 ways I could list why Colin is sexy as all get out but his openness and admiration for his boys has risen to the number one spot.

A few days ago, I watched Amy, the documentary about Amy Winehouse, for the first time. I?ve been thinking about it ever since, thinking about a life destroyed by drugs and alcohol and the tenuous, self-destructive relationship someone can have with sobriety. There were so many what-ifs about Winehouse?s life – what if she had gone to rehab before she became a mega-star, what if she never married Blake, what if her father wasn?t such a son of a bitch. I came away from the documentary having a sh-tload of respect for the celebrities and regular people who do manage to go to rehab and stick with their sobriety, and build a new sober life and rebuild their careers. Colin Farrell is one of those people – he struggled with drugs and alcohol throughout his 20s. He bottomed out in 2006 and went to rehab and it stuck. He built a new life for himself. And now he?s back in rehab:
Colin Farrell continues to prioritize his sobriety. The Irish actor has checked himself into a treatment facility, E! News can confirm. “It was preemptive,” the source adds. “He did it to reset his life. He’s not using right now at all.”
According to The Daily Mail, who broke the story, Farrell is seeking professional help from The Meadows?an elite rehab center in Arizona whose previous clients include the likes of Selena Gomez, Harvey Weinstein, Tiger Woods and more.
In May 2017, Farrell celebrated an entire decade of sobriety during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. The 41-year-old has previously detailed his years-long battle with alcohol and drug abuse, and Farrell first checked into rehab after filming 2006?s Miami Vice.
[From E! News]
Since the Amy doc is fresh in my mind, I?m giving Colin the benefit of the doubt here – maybe he didn?t backslide. Maybe he didn?t use. Maybe something happened to him that was very triggering and he decided to go into The Meadows as a precautionary measure. So many addicts need to go back a few times, just to get their heads together and to peace out on the world full of triggers. In any case, I?m wishing Colin well.

These are photos of Colin Farrell out in Dublin on Saturday, where he was seen tipping his cabbie 10 Euro. Nice. Colin is 39 and he’s sporting a bit of gray hair around the sides, which just makes him look distinguished to me. I’m not a fan of gray hair on men (maybe because I dye mine frequently or I would be gray too), but there are some exceptional silver foxes, like Anderson Cooper. In general I prefer bald and balding men, but this is Colin Farrell, he can go all gray and I’d still be into it. (Maybe my opinion would be different if I’d had to sit through this most recent season of True Detective, although that’s not on Colin.)
According to IMDB, Colin is either filming or set to film Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which just makes me so happy. It’s filming in Liverpool now. That film isn’t out until next year and I’m already excited for it. It’s starring Eddie Redmayne and after the first preview photo came out Daniel Radcliffe joked that he’s jealous of Redmayne’s fabulous costumes. Since the script is different from J.K. Rowling’s book of the same name, a kind of brief overview of magical creatures, we don’t know much yet about Colin’s character in particular, a NY-based wizard named Graves. The film is set in NY during the Gilded Age, and Rowling penned the screenplay. So Colin’s gray hair could be for that role, it’s unclear. It looks like he dyes the top and has let the sides go naturally gray.
Colin has given some decent interviews recently. He has a tendency to expound on topics he’s interested in and he told Loaded Magazine that he’s really happy as a single man, although he tends to change his mind about it a lot. This interview is a couple of weeks old and he was promoting The Lobster, a quirky dystopian film co-starring Rachel Weisz where single people have to pick a mate within six weeks or get turned into an animal. So this was on topic as the film was just coming out in the UK.
?I don?t have any pressure at all about being single. I?m fine as a single man,? he told the magazine.
?I believe in relationships and marriage and people sharing their lives. But marriage isn?t for everybody. I believe some people need to be single their whole lives, whether through choice or lack of fortune. I don?t believe in any one way.?
Although that?s not completely set in stone. ?I change my opinion on this so many times,? he continued. ?I?ll change it between lunch and dinner.?
[From Irish Central]
I’m sure there are plenty of women who would like to change his mind. There were also rumors earlier this month that Colin is celibate and that he’s taken up Buddhist meditation and chanting. If that’s true, good for him, although those things aren’t mutually exclusive. He can have sex and meditate too!
Oh and Colin is rumored to be in consideration for a role in DC’s Justice League Dark, which focuses on the “supernatural heroes.” He’s said to be in contention for Constantine, if that means anything to you. To me it means that Colin could be getting that superhero money. Pick him, Warner Brothers.
Here’s Colin working the hell out of some jeans at LAX in mid October.
And at a screening of The Lobster, also in mid October. He looks better with darker hair.

Listening to Colin Farrell speak is my new favorite pastime. The last time we covered him, he spoke intelligently and at length about the historic popular vote in Ireland which legalized gay marriage. There’s nothing better than hearing a hot guy with an accent passionately share my same political views.
As part of his new gig for Dolce & Gabbana’s Intenso cologne (that sounds like a parody name, right?) and in honor of Father’s day, Colin talked about the joys and fears of being a dad. He was just as thoughtful and introspective as you might expect. Colin is father to two boys including James Padraig Farrell, 12, from his relationship with model Kim Bordenave. James has a developmental disorder called Angelman syndrome, which Colin has spoken about publicly in order to increase funding and awareness. He also has a five year-old son, Henry Tadeusz Farrell, from his relationship with Polish actress Alicja Bachleda-Curu?.
Here’s some of what Colin said about being a dad. You can see the video of Colin’s interview on E! Online.
It’s incredibly complicated, I find it, to be a father because I have no idea what I’m doing. I haven’t read any books but I know that if I did they would just confound me even more. There is no direct science to it. Because like art and like life it is the most extreme exercise in trial and error because the consequences are so great… not grave but great.
It can be a terrifying thing?but also there’s a great liberation in being a father, if I can speak from a point of self-interest for a second. Because for the first time in your life you are not the most important thing in your world. For the first time in your life you really have an understanding of what it is to love unconditionally. And it’s a pretty extraordinary gift.
I enjoy my boys. They’re fun. They’re good dudes. I have two very lovely, lovely human beings that look to me for help and assistance. Can you imagine? They’re doomed.
It?s a lot of fun. I?m very excited to see where they go in their lives… just observe the path that they?re on and maybe help them with some direction but stay out of the way as much as I can as well.
[From video on E! Online]
There’s a kind of poetry to Colin’s turns of phrase, and you get the sense that he’s a deep thinker. I do wonder how involved he is in his boys’ lives, but we don’t hear much about his private life so it’s hard to tell. It’s obvious he cares deeply about them.
Colin isn’t starring in as many movies as he used to and I hope he has a kind of resurgence with True Detective. He doesn’t get enough love around here and in general, I think. (Update: Kaiser has covered episode one. She gave it mixed reviews.) Kaiser will be covering the first episode of True Detective a little later. I’m so excited to watch it!
Here’s Colin’s ad for Dolce and Gabbana’s Intenso. He’s always so smoldering, but this ad is a miss. It sounds like a fake cologne on The Simpsons. WHO NAMED THIS?

These photos make me happy. There?s just so little to fight about here. These are photos from the late-shift Cannes Film Festival premiere of The Lobster, starring Colin Farrell, Lea Seydoux and Rachel Weisz. And every single one of them looked gorgeous. I?ve always had a thing for Rachel Weisz, and she brought so much joy to me in these photos. If you?re forcing me to choose, I?d have to say that Colin actually looked hotter

For the most part, my priority with Cannes Film Festival coverage is fashion, which means women get priority over men. But I need to make Colin Farrell the lead of this post, because I kind of have ALL THE FEELS about him. I used to crush on Colin back in the day, when he was a fresh-faced badass new to Hollywood. Then he was a mess, then he got clean, and then he was sort of in hotness limbo for a while. But can we say that Colin is back and better than ever? He looks sooooo good here. These photos are from today?s photocall for The Lobster, a sci-fi rom-com starring Colin, Rachel Weisz and Lea Seydoux. More on them in a moment.
Colin?s appearance at Cannes comes just after a new trailer for True Detective Season 2 debuted. Here you go.
I come away with several things. One, Vince Vaughn really de-bloated for this role, and he looks better than he has in YEARS. Two, I really want Rachel McAdams to be great and for her role to be worthy of her talents. There?s also a rumor flying around pretty heavily nowadays that Rachel McAdams and Colin started hooking up during filming and they?re perhaps in a quiet relationship right now. I wouldn?t mind that at all. I feel like McAdams needs more dirty-fun in her life, and Colin needs someone psychologically stable like McAdams in his life.
I?m also including photos of Rachel Weisz and Lea Seydoux. Rachel?s awesome jumpsuit is Narciso Rodriguez (her favorite designer). Lea wore Prada and she looked sort of pregnant?

Rachel McAdams is allegedly ?caught? between two men. There has been widespread speculation that Rachel and Jake Gyllenhaal got friendly and continue to get friendly following their work together in Southpaw. They were recently seen having a meal together, which I guess means they?re hittin? it. Except? Rachel is still working on True Detective Season 2. With Colin Farrell.
Sources tell Star Magazine that Rachel McAdams is also fallin? for Colin Farrell, 38.
?Rachel and Colin definitely have chemistry ? everyone on set has noticed.? Says the source. ?She?s a little wary of his past with women. He was quite the playboy, so she worries about taking the relationship to the next level.
And as for Jake Gyllenhaal?
?He?d love to be exclusive with Rachel but hasn?t because he?s not sure the feeling is mutual,? says one of his confidantes.
[From Star Magazine, print edition]
If it was me? I would pick a fling or a relationship with Colin Farrell over anything with Jake Gyllenhaal. I?m sorry, but Jake still has some kind of residual taint on him after the Taylor Swift episode several years ago. I know he?s dated other ladies since then, but all I can see when I look at him is the goofy, twee, cuddlefest-happy thing with Swifty.
As for Colin? yes, he used to be a bad boy. Yes, I think he still has some issues when it comes to women and relationships. But? I think his priority these days is fatherhood. He told The Sunday Times this weekend: ?I have not dated for, ooh, four years now. It’s just not happening, what with the work, the kids and my life. I know it’s not what people expect to hear, but that’s the honest truth.” The Sony Hack revealed some documentation to back this up ? apparently, Colin has said no to several high-profile projects just because it would mean that he would have to be away from his sons for months at a time. So what does that mean for a potential relationship with Rachel? Hm?

| | Colin Farrell pens open letter supporting gay marriage in Ireland | | Added 10 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Colin Farrell has always been very close to his family. His sister has worked as his personal assistant before (I?m not sure if she still does), and Colin has always been very tight with his brother Eamon. Eamon is gay, and he married his partner in Canada a few years back. But their marriage is not recognized or legal in Ireland, which is where Eamon and his husband live now. Colin wants to see that rectified. Colin wrote an open letter in Ireland?s Sunday World, arguing for the legalization of gay marriage in Ireland ahead of a referendum vote. You can read the full letter here. Here?s an edited version:
I?ve been fortunate enough to never have any issue with the idea of gay union. I think I found out my brother wasn?t grovelling in heterosexual mud like most boys our age when I was around 12. I remember feeling surprised. Intrigued. Curious. Not bi curious before you start getting ideas. I was curious because it was different from anything I?d known or heard of and yet it didn?t seem unnatural to me. I had no reference for the existence of homosexuality. I had seen, by that age, no gay couples together. I just knew my brother liked men and, I repeat, it didn?t seem unnatural to me.
My brother Eamon didn?t choose to be gay. Yes, he chose to wear eyeliner to school and that probably wasn?t the most pragmatic response to the daily torture he experienced at the hands of school bullies. But he was always proud of who he was. Proud and defiant and, of course, provocative. Even when others were casting him out with fists and ridicule and the laughter of pure loathsome derision, he maintained an integrity and dignity that flew in the face of the cruelty that befell him.
And this is why the forthcoming referendum is so personal to me. It?s about inclusion. It?s about fairness. It?s about giving our lesbian and gay sisters and brothers back a right that should never have been stolen from them in the first place. Speaking out in support of equality in all its forms is a moral necessity if we?re to have a society where peace, compassion and kindness become the ruling classes. Only love in action can stamp out the wilting toxicity of the intolerant among us. Only ink on paper can truly prove that the Irish people are who we?ve held ourselves proudly to be ? a people who, in the majority, are deeply feeling and have a natural and abiding lean towards inclusion and fairness, heart and hospitality.
This referendum is a chance for us to arise. To wake up to the conviction that true love from the heart of one being to another cares not for the colour, nor the creed, nor the gender of who it chooses to share that path with. We have a chance to effect a change that?s about recognising no one love is greater than another by virtue of tradition. We have a chance to simply tip our hats to love in all its kaleidoscopic and majestic forms.
Eamon did not choose to be gay, no more than I chose to be straight. It?s all a trick, a sleight of nature. I don?t know where those bullies are now, the ones who beat him regularly. Maybe some of them have found peace and would rather forget their own part of a painful past. Maybe they?re sitting on bar stools and talking about ?birds and f-ggots? and why one?s the cure and the other the disease. But I do know where my brother is. He?s at home in Dublin living in peace and love with his husband of some years, Steven. They are about the healthiest and happiest couple I know. They had to travel a little farther than down the aisle to make their vows, though, to Canada, where their marriage was celebrated. That?s why this is personal to me. The fact that my brother had to leave Ireland to have his dream of being married become real is insane. INSANE.
This for me is all about the heart, not the gender. If it?s about the idea of love between consenting adults, then this referendum is as much a heterosexual issue as it is a gay issue. It is for all of us that civil marriage equality must be realised. There are too many things that divide us as a people, let not this be another one. Let this be about not only the matrimonial unity of a man and a man or a woman and a woman, but let it be also about the unity of a community, the unity of an island which has at its heart a gold that this vote speaks to. How often do we get to make history in our lives? Not just personal history. Familial. Social. Communal. Global. The world will be watching. We will lead by example. Let?s lead toward light.
[From Sunday World]
Colin also pointed out that as a heterosexual, he could jump into a car and drive to Las Vegas and get married by Elvis in a drive-through. Which is true. But the state of Nevada is one of the states going through legal proceedings to see if gay marriage will be legalized. There are now 33 states in America where gay couples can marry, which is amazing considering how quickly we?ve gotten here. As for Ireland?s referendum vote? I hope they pass it. For all of the reasons Colin described, plus one
