Aw. Just? aw. These are new photos of Colin Farrell and his son Henry out and about in Los Angeles yesterday. Colin took his youngest son to Baskin-Robbins, then they went book shopping and Henry got a new kid?s book. Henry?s third birthday is coming up in October ? his mom is Colin?s former girlfriend Alicja Bachleda. Colin and Alicja met and fell in love while they were filming Ondine in 2008, and Alicja quickly became pregnant, and gave birth to Henry in 2009. Alicja and Colin broke up the following year, and since then, it seems like Colin has gone without a long-term girlfriend (although I?m sure he?s dating around). I think Henry takes after his mother, right? I see a lot of Alicja in Henry ? her fair coloring, similar face.
Does anyone know if Alicja and Henry live full-time in LA? I know Colin?s son James and James?s mom Kim live in LA, and from what I?ve seen, Colin and Kim have a loose and comfortable joint custody arrangement with James. But I wonder what Alicja and Colin have arranged?
Colin does seem like a really great dad, doesn?t he? Very? ?present?. Very focused on his son. In a recent interview, Colin described his evolution to become a better father, saying: ?People say having children changes you, doesn?t it? Unfortunately not. You can go around the world and see stories where it doesn?t change people. You have to allow it to invite the change in. So the first three years of James?s life was me going ?I?m not going to change, I?m just going to be his friend ? we?re going to be pals. But that didn?t work out so well. And then based on a couple of life changes I made myself, I thought, ?Why am I fighting change???

Throughout the Total Recall publicity tour, I kept saying that I was no longer attracted to Colin Farrell. It was something about his haircut, his clothes, his general vibe of embarrassment? it killed my attraction to him. So now that the Total Recall publicity tour is (thankfully) dead and buried (along with Jessica Biel?s increasingly awful fashion displays), can I find Colin hot again? Well, here are some new pics of Colin leaving a yoga class in Dublin. He went with his sister. And this is how he left the yoga studio and walked to his car? like, THIS is his post-yoga outfit. A sport coat and sweat-pantaloons. Nothing else. No shirt. Not even a tank! He seriously left the studio this way and walked to his car.
So, basically, I kind of want to hit it again. THIS is the Colin I remember. This is the Colin Farrell who would do shirtless photo shoots because why not? This is the Colin Farrell who was the dirty, sexy, foul poet-badass/shamef?k. I mean, look at him. He looks dirty and sweaty and built. GAH. I would hit it. What is wrong with me that I don?t like him when he looks clean-cut and well-dressed? It?s just about HIM too ? any other dude, I would balk at this sketchy, chav-tastic ensemble and my biscuits would close up for the winter. But on Colin, it?s a charming look. I can?t properly analyze it.
Two more Colin stories ? one, he doesn?t believe in spoiling his two sons. He said in a recent interview, “Toys keep them happy and I give them ice-cream – that’s about as extravagant as it gets. One of my sons loves footballs, tennis balls – anything round – and the other is mad on trains.? That?s adorable. He plies them with ice cream, tennis balls and model trains. He sounds like a great dad.
Last thing ? the trailer for Colin?s latest film, Seven Psychopaths, is out. Colin reunited with his In Bruges director, Martin McDonagh:
It looks? weird. But considering the greatness of In Bruges, I think this will probably end up being a sleeper hit and maybe even get some award nominations. I love the way Colin looks in it, and Jesus, I LOVE Sam Rockwell. Woody looks interesting/funny too! And Christopher Walken can do no wrong.

He?s been promoting his new movie ?Total Recall? as of late, and last night (July 26) Colin Farrell headed over to ?The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.?
The ?Recruit? hunk chatted with Leno about his newfound passion for Yoga, as it has helped him relax and regroup after years of hard partying.
Colin began, ?I like yoga. I?ve been doing it for a year. I could barely touch my knees, much less my toes. For years the only muscles I worked out were my biceps lifting a drink to my mouth, then you take that out of your life and you have eight hours of the day that you have to fill.?
?I just thought, I?ll give it a try. And I just really enjoyed the feeling of being in my body,? Farrell added.

It?s slower than slow and deader than dead today, so I hope you enjoy these new Colin Farrell photos just because they?re basically the only new photos worth covering. Colin is in Paris, and this is the first of many international photo calls for Total Recall, which comes out on August 3rd ? the Dark Knight Rises comes out on July 20, two weeks beforehand. Will TDKR still be the #1 film two weeks after its release? Probably. But it doesn?t follow that just because everyone will still be going to see TDKR that no one will see Total Recall. I do think Total Recall will probably make some major money. But will it be enough? Enough to prove that Colin Farrell is a leading man who can deliver a box office? I don?t know.
You know what?s surprising? I can?t find any new Colin interviews. I wonder if he?s going to appear on any of the August covers of any men?s magazines? He shares the latest cover of Maxim with Kate Beckinsale and Jessica Biel, but he barely says a word in the ?interview? (he does say his favorite word is ?bollocks?). Does Colin not do longer magazine confessionals anymore? He seems very press-shy these days, for no real reason ? I mean, he?s very well-spoken and he?s not a crazy alcoholic or drug-user these days, and he seems super-professional. Let him do some interviews, for the love of God.
Anyway, Colin is looking really good to me in these photos. He looks so good in blue. I want him to have more career success, and not just in a succession of weirdly-timed remakes. Give this dude some original material. Give him a good drama!
Here?s one of the trailers for Total Recall:

Staying busy on the promotional trail, Colin Farrell dropped into Paris, France for a ?Total Recall? photocall today (July 9).
The Hotel Costes was the place to be this morning, as the ?Recruit? stud showed up to work his magic for the press and field a few questions.
During a recent interview, Colin talked about his experience getting back into the big budget film genre with ?Total Recall.?
"I found it continuously challenging, not just in a physical way, but in an emotional way and in an intellectual way, and hopefully that comes across. And there?s action sequences so spectacular that it?ll be worth your two hours and ten dollars ? or your ten euros!"
He explained, "I?m playing a man who?s told his life isn?t what he thought it was, the people in his life aren?t who he thought they were and he isn?t who he thought he was. The whole film then is a journey from this man awakening to the ideas of identity and past and being robbed of everything you were and everything you believed, without even knowing what these things are. So, there were plenty of existential questions for me to think about during the making of the film."
As for his physical preparations for the flick- "I?ve spent enough time in the last ten or twelve years messing around with diets for films, I know a little bit about nutrition. I watched what I ate and made sure I got 150 grams of protein every day, and worked out fairly hard. I couldn?t quite reach the Olympian levels of a certain predecessor of mine, but there was sufficient backstory for the character that he had some military training in his life so I knew I had to be bigger than I was when I agreed to do it.?

OMG, look at Colin Farrell. He looks incredible, right? Or am I hallucinating? You know who he reminds me of? Timothy Olyphant. I?d always found Olyphant attractive when he was younger, but as Olyphant aged, and he started rocking some grey at his temples, all of a sudden it was like ?OMG, this man is FINE.? That?s what these Colin Farrell photos remind me of – Colin is sober, he?s fit and trim yet muscular, his clothes fit better and he?s taking better care of himself overall. Plus, the grey. And all of a sudden he?s no longer the mangy Irishman who won?t remember your name the next morning. He?s the Irish sex God who will bang you until the headboard breaks and then he?ll make you breakfast. RIGHT? Or is that just me?
So these are photos of Colin at the American Giving Awards, where he was honored for his work raising awareness of Angelman Syndrome, which his first son James has. Colin is also a supporter of the Special Olympics, which is awesome. Colin has been giving more interviews about Angelman Syndrome lately and? I don?t know, he moves me. When he talks about his son, I?m moved and I?m consistently impressed with the changes he?s made in his life and how committed he is to being a hands-on father to a special needs kid. Last week, Colin was the guest of honor at the Chicago gala for the Foundation for Angelman Syndrome Therapeutics (FAST). He calls his son ?Jimmy?, and here?s part of his speech:
“He’s kind of lifted me in that sometimes tremulous hand of his. I ain’t saying I’m a great man or nothing, but I’m getting to be about as good a fellow as I’m going to be. A lot of the reason is James has come into my life and gifted me the opportunity to look outside myself and to watch his every difficulty and to watch his insurmountable spirit just forge ahead in life.”
It was all so different a few years ago when Colin Farrell was on a Special Olympics panel in China. A journalist asked him why he was involved with the organization and, determined to protect James’s privacy, he gave a pat answer.
“I found myself not speaking about what I wanted to really speak about so much,” he said at the weekend. That night, he said he went to bed devastated that he hadn’t been honest: “I just thought, ‘Well, maybe it’s time. I just have to speak about him. And once I’m not protecting him, what’s going to happen if I speak publicly about his condition? Nothing really.”
He called his son’s mother, model Kim Bordenave, and suggested the time had come for him to acknowledge James’s condition. The next day he spoke about Angelman for the first time during an interview. Since then, he has helped raise awareness by talking about James’s condition whenever he is on promotional rounds. An appearance on the Letterman chat show in America led to a significant rise in donations to FAST and turned Farrell into something of a poster boy for AS. And, such has been Colin Farrell’s enthusiasm for the charity’s work, he sponsored 100 families which enabled them to attend last weekend’s conference and share their experiences.

Sigh? all of that hotness, heart and then some. It?s okay to love him, right? We?re not complaining about how he?s dirty and stuff anymore, right? Because I love him, and I always have.

These photos of Colin Farrell’s hot arms while he’s out on Toronto remind me of that video of Ryan Gosling breaking up a fight. (I wrote “Ryan Reynolds” at first. Poor Ryan Gosling.) I was so surprised to see how huge Ryan’s arms were that at first I thought Ryan was another guy in the video. Colin is more filled out than I would have guessed, but he’s not as buff as Ryan. He looks really good here apart from the goofy tattoo. It says “Rita” in the middle, which is his mom’s name and Jimmy Jr., his first son, is inscribed across the bottom. I can’t read the other name at the top.
Anyway the real story is that you can see the outline of Colin’s bulge in these workout pants. I was so mesmerized by his tight torso that I almost missed it. Kaiser is telling me he’s nicely endowed, since I defer to her to judge dong size. So I guess we know where he gets that swagger.
Colin is in Toronto filming that Total Recall remake, which Len Wiseman is directing and which also stars Kate Beckinsale, Bryan Cranston and Jessica Biel. I don’t remember the original at all and I don’t consider it a classic so I couldn’t care less if it gets remade.
Fright Night came out a week and a half ago and it’s only made about $14.2 million after a $30 million budget. I should go see it while it’s still at the movies. Or maybe I’ll wait for the DVD. Hopefully they’ll make up some of that budget in DVD sales. If they’re smart they’ll put it out around Halloween.

Colin Farrell was a guest on Letterman Friday night. I’ve been dying to report on these sexy photos of him outside the studio with his shirt half open. He looked delectable as usual, and was promoting the Fright Night remake he stars in, which is out in the US next Friday, August 19. On the show, Farrell mentioned his two boys, Henry, nearly 2, and James, 7. (Both are from previous relationships with different women, but it’s not like Farrell talked about that at all.) James has a rare genetic condition called Angelman syndrome, which is characterized by motor, intellectual and speech delays and a positive affect. Farrell has discussed his son’s condition in the past, and said that he is blessed to have him in his life. In 2007, he said “I have never thought of my son as being someone with a disability. It goes back to special needs and what is a disability and what isn?t.” On Letterman, he addressed the need for more funding to research the condition and said that a doctor has cured the condition in mice. Here’s

He?s played some pretty hardcore roles in his day, but Colin Farrell does have a soft side.
As the father of two sons, the ?Horrible Bosses? actor recently opened up about his 7-year-old son James? Angelman Syndrome during an appearance on ?Late Show with David Letterman.?
He told, "James, just a quick shout out if I can, James has a condition called Angelman Syndrome and it only affects one in 30,000 children, they say. So there?s not that much funding because it doesn?t benefit pharmaceutical companies, of course.?
Farrell added that if anyone wanted to help they could visit CureAngelman.org to donate. He also discussed a bit more about his son and how he was diagnosed.
?It was actually when a doctor saw how happy he was,? Colin explained. ?He was like, ?Does he always smile this much???
James started walking just short of his 4th birthday and doesn?t have any verbal speech, but Colin made sure to say that his son is ?a really happy boy.?

Kaiser and I have a long running back-and-forth going on Colin Farrell, where I say I can take him or leave him because I just can’t get the In Bruges DVD out of my head. He smokes like a chimney during the DVD extras section and it’s just such a turn off to me. (Kaiser doesn’t mind.) Colin is otherwise so charming and funny and when I’ve seen him interviewed he just oozes sex. In a new interview with In Style, Colin reveals that I can put that particular reservation about him to rest, because he’s given up smoking and taken up exercise to combat stress and keep that tight body. He also has a lot of dreamy things to say about women, his friendship with Liz Taylor, and his love of vintage fashion. Colin is starring in the new Fright Night remake, and he says that he had his reservations about messing with a classic but that the script just won him over.
On choosing to do Fright Night
I got a call saying “They’re remaking Fright Night. Do you know it?” I said “Hell, yeah! I watched that horror film many times growing up. Why are the Hollywood philistines redoing it? [When I read the script] I was highly pissed off that I liked it as much as I did. I thought, God this could be so much fun.
You’ve even quit smoking right?
It was time. I was a 40-cigarette-a-day smoker, but I wasn’t enjoying it. So on my 34th birthday last year, I spent a day with a pack and consciously looked at every single puff until I smoked the last one at 11:55 that night. I did a whole ritual thing by writing a letter to tobacco, giving it as much significance as I possibly could. I’m done with it.
Though you have kept a little tabacco allegiance by wearing Dunhill suits
When I was younger, I know they sold cigarettes but didn’t know Dunhill had a line of clothes! They make beautiful suits and have been very kind to me over the years, clothing my back more than once at the Oscars and Golden Globes.
Otherwise, do you think about fashion?
Not so much - even though right now I’m wearing this gray All Saints shirt that I got at a photo shoot that I got at a photo shoot two weeks ago, Rock & Republic jeans, and John Varvatos boots. I’m a full
fledged fashion victim today. But usually I’ll pop down to Jet Rag, this secondhand clothes shop in L.A., and splash down $200 on 12 items. I got this brown leather wristband years ago - I don’t know where or when or how - but I love it.
Your reputation as a ladies’ man is well documented. You once declared, “I’m a huge fan of women.”
I love women; I always have. I was raised by an incredibly strong, kind and generous mother, and I have two wonderful sisters. It all started there. They’re beautiful, life-giving creatures, so, yes, I adore women completely.
One of them was Elizabeth Taylor, who praised you as Richard Burton reincarnated. At her funeral you read a beautiful but very complex poem, “The Leaden Echo and the Golden Echo,” by Gerard Manley Hopkins, which couldn’t have been easy.
No, that wouldn’t be her style to make it easy on me. It was one of her favorites, if not her very favorite poem. She was an amazing woman, and I was grateful to have shared some times with her in the last year and a half of her life. I was truly lucky to bask in her presence intellect, generosity, kindness and sense of fun.
Let’s hit on your Irishness. Your countrymen are great authors. Are you a huge reader?
I’m not voracious, but I have an anthology of Yeats poetry that’s probably the book I’ve kept going back to for years.
Do you read it on a Kindle now?
I couldn’t. I love the weight and smell of a book and turning the pages. But who knows, maybe it’ll be another of those “I don’t go to the gym” moments, and you cut to Colin Farrell 2013, and he’s got a Kindle and a little earpiece, talking on the phone while he’s running on a treadmill.
[From In Style, print edition]
You can tell he loves fashion and shopping but won’t admit it outright. I’d love to go vintage shopping with him. I also adore how he doesn’t seem to take himself or his ideas too seriously and jokes about how he might end up with a kindle after all.
For as much as I crush on him, Farrell will never quite be the same to me after I read that excerpt from his ex girlfriend’s book about how he kind of strung her along and then broke her heart. He doesn’t seem to have the best relationship with women, but he talks a good game around it and he’ll never be lacking for companionship.
Here’s the trailer for Fright Night. It’s out August 19th in the US and it looks good. Colin is such a menacingly hot vampire.
