I always group him, Colin Farrell and Cillian Murphy together they are all about the same age and I think emerged around the same time too and I always had a fantasy Irish film casting with them Gabriel Byrne and Brendan Gleeson I’d add Domhnall Gleeson in there now instead of JRM sadly. His eyes were so distracting in Bend it with Beckham. He really had a presence in his roles back then.Hope at some point he may be able to turn it around with help and the right people in his life, Colin has( last thing I seen him do was help promote funding for Special Olympics Ireland during lockdown)
Slightly OT, but Colin's oldest son has Angelman Syndrome (super rare) and he is VERY involved with the Special Olympics both in Ireland and at the World Games level. I worked the World Games back in 2015 and had some interaction with the Irish gymnastics team. The coach raved about Colin and the fundraising and good he has done. Colin also walked with the Irish delegation in the opening ceremonies and I will never forget the image of him holding hands with two kids and leaning down to speak to one of them as they walked in the Parade of Athletes. Suffice it to say all of this does nothing for my mad crush on him.
