Colin Farrell

He has a couple of films in the can though. That Woody Allen project with Ewan McGregor and a film with Edward Norton. I hope he cleans himself up. He has a lot of talent imo, and it would be a shame if it all went to waste.

Ha! I completely forgot this guy existed until I saw his thread.

Yes, Colin is still alive and taking a homeless guy shopping. If someone can provide a link to the Toronto Sun it would be great. Colin took Stress down to Europe Bound outfitters, got him some clothes, a sleeping bag etc. He then stopped off at the bank machine and gave him a wad of twenty and a promise to pay rent for a year, so he could have somewhere to live. That is pretty damn cool Colin!

Here it is.

Quite the story. I'm really curious to know what kind of room he's going to pay for for a year. If it's around Yorkville, well, that could be insanely expensive. And how oddly is that acticle written? I usually try to stay as far away as possible from the Sun, is it usually written like a telegram?

Colin talks about his special needs child.

I know I'm in the minority in that Colin has been my bigass crush for years, but this has made me love him even more.

Poor kid - he seems to be a happy young man though!

I never knew his son had CP . God Bless him. I haven't heard much about Colin in like 3 years it seems. He must have been spending all his time with James.

This has to be the first time he's talked about his son, right? I'm sure I read some rumours a few years back but luckily not in the main press.

I had a student with angelman's syndrome. It's not easy... very intense needs, doesn't sleep well, the girl is in 6th grade now and can't speak. But there are varying degrees so I don't know what his son's in like. It must be tough but he's right, with every small milestone, there comes enormous joy. It helps you appreciate the simple things in life. I bet his son is why he mellowed out so much the past few years. Good for him-- I think his partying ways would have landed him in jail by now otherwise.

I think his son's condition put him on the straight and narrow and sobered him up. How ironic, considering he was destroying his life back when he was on top of the world.

I got a little weepy when I saw this video of Colin with the Irish soccer team at the Special Olympics -- he's got such a great easy rapport with these guys.
