His film presence has been filled with memorable roles that range from an inwardly tortured hit man, to an adventurous explorer, a determined-but-failing writer, and the greatest military leader in history. Farrell was born on May 31, 1976 in Castleknock, Dublin, Ireland, to Rita (Monaghan) and Eamon Farrell. His father and uncle were both professional athletes, and for a while, it looked like Farrell would follow in their footsteps. Farrell auditioned for a part in the Irish Boy Band, Boyzone, but it didn't work out. After dropping out of The Gaiety School of Acting, Farrell was cast in Ballykissangel (1996), a BBC television drama.

"Ballykissangel" was not his first role on screen. Farrell had previously been in The War Zone (1999), directed by Tim Roth and had appeared in the independent film Drinking Crude (1997). Farrell was soon to move on to bigger things. Exchanging his usually thick Dublin accent for a light Texas drawl, Farrell acted in the gritty Tigerland (2000), directed by Joel Schumacher . Starring Farrell amongst a number of other budding young actors, the film portrays a group of new recruits being trained for the war in Vietnam. Farrell played the arrogant soldier Boz, drafted into the army and completely spiteful of authority. The film was praised by critics, but did not make much money at the box office. It was Farrell's first big role on film, and certainly not his last. Farrell followed up with American Outlaws (2001), where he played the notorious outlaw Jesse James with Scott Caan , son of legendary actor James Caan , in the role of Cole Younger. The film was a box office flop and failure with the critics. Immediately, Farrell returned to the war drama film that had made him famous.

Co-starring in the war film Hart's War (2002) opposite Bruce Willis , Farrell played the young officer captured by the enemy. The film was another failure. Farrell struck gold when he was cast in the Steven Spielberg film Minority Report (2002) that same year. Set in a futuristic time period, Farrell played the character of Danny Witwer, a young member of the Justice Department who is sent after Tom Cruise 's character. The film was a smash hit, and praised by critics. Farrell continued this success when he reunited with Joel Schumacher on the successful thriller Phone Booth (2002). Farrell played the role of the victim who is harassed by an unseen killer ( Kiefer Sutherland ) and is made to reveal his sins to the public. 2003 was a big year for Farrell. He starred in the crime thriller The Recruit (2003) as a young CIA man mentored by an older CIA veteran ( Al Pacino ). Pacino later stated that Farrell was the best actor of his generation. Farrell certainly continued to be busy that year with Daredevil (2003), which actually allowed him to keep his thick Irish accent.

The film was another success for Farrell, as was the crime film S.W.A.T. (2003) where Farrell starred opposite Samuel L. Jackson and LL Cool J . Farrell also acted in the Irish black comedy film Intermission (2003) and appeared another Irish film Veronica Guerin (2003) which reunited him with Joel Schumacher once again. The following year, Farrell acted in what is his most infamous film role yet: the title role in the mighty Oliver Stone film epic Alexander (2004), which is a character study of Alexander the Great as he travels across new worlds and conquers all the known world before him. Farrell donned a blond wig and retained his Irish accent, and gave a fine performance as Alexander. However, both he and the film were criticized. Despite being one of the highest grossing films internationally and doing a good job at the DVD sales, Farrell did not come out of the experience without a few hurts. Farrell attempted to rebound with his historical film The New World (2005).

Reuniting with "Alexander" star Christopher Plummer , and also acting with Christian Bale , Farrell played the character of the brave explorer John Smith, who would make first contacts with the Native peoples. The film did not do well at the box office, though critics praised the film's stunning appearance and cinematography. Farrell returned to act in Michael Mann 's film Miami Vice (2006) alongside Jamie Foxx . The film was a film adaptation of the famous television series, and did reasonably well at the box office. Farrell also acted in Ask the Dust (2006) with Salma Hayek and Donald Sutherland , though the film did not receive much distribution. The next year, Farrell acted alongside Ewan McGregor in the Woody Allen film Cassandra's Dream (2007) which received mixed reviews from critics. Farrell followed up with the hilarious black comedy In Bruges (2008). Written and directed by Irish theatre director Martin McDonagh , the film stars Farrell and Brendan Gleeson as two Irish hit men whose latest assignment went wrong, leaving them to hide out in Bruges, Belgium. The film has been one of Farrell's most praised work, and he was nominated for a Golden Globe.

As well as In Bruges (2008), Farrell acted alongside Edward Norton in the crime film Pride and Glory (2008) which was not as successful as the former film. As well as working with charity, and speaking at the Special Olympics World Games in 2007, he has donated his salary for Terry Gilliam 's The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (2009) to Heath Ledger 's little daughter (who was left nothing in a will that had not been updated in time). Ledger had originally been cast in the film and was replaced by Farrell, Johnny Depp, and Jude Law. The film was a critical and financial success, and Farrell also played a small role in Crazy Heart (2009) which had the Dubliner playing a country singer. Farrell even sang a few songs for the film's soundtrack. As well as those small roles, Farrell took the lead role in the war film Triage (2009). Farrell incredibly lost forty-four pounds to play the role of a war photographer who must come to terms with what he has experienced in Kurdistan.

While the film was finely made, with excellent performances from all involved, the film has received almost no distribution. Farrell's other leading role that year was in Neil Jordan 's Irish film Ondine (2009), which had Farrell playing an imaginative fisherman who thinks he has caught a mermaid in his net. Since the mid-2000's, Farrell has cleaned up his act, and far from being a Hollywood hell raiser and party animal, Farrell has shown himself to be a respectable and very talented actor. - IMDb Mini Biography By: Pedro Borges Trade Mark (5) Violent yet moral characters that are often pragmatic and observant Known for his temper both on and off the screen Irish accent Frequently seen with a cigarette Thick, expressive eyebrows Trivia (47) Son of Irish football player, Eamon Farrell.

[July 2010] Currently filming Oliver Stone's movie Alexander (2004) in Morocco. [September 2003] He visited Argentina for two days.

Personal Quotes (31) Being Irish is very much a part of who I am. I take it everywhere with me. (On people who drink tequila) "I tell them, 'When you're at home puking your guts out, I'll be here drinking my Amstel Light.'" "I couldn't care less about who sees my bits ... My friends asked how I could do scenes like that and not get excited, but it wasn't like that. My bits looked the size of a cashew nut!" (on appearing nude in Tigerland (2000)). [on physical training for film roles] "I find it the most tedious waste of life. It's so boring.

I'd prefer to be sitting in a pub with a few strangers talkin' shit than looking at meself in the mirror runnin' on the treadmill." It all goes back to [ Joel Schumacher ]. I wouldn't have done Phone Booth (2002) without him. I wouldn't be doing Hart's War (2002). I probably wouldn't have done American Outlaws (2001) if he hadn't picked me out of obscurity. I've worked, but not at the level or people I'm working with now if he hadn't taken a chance on an Irish kid playing a Texan. I'm in no hurry to get anywhere. I don't have any plans. I don't have a map. If you did in this business, you'd destroy yourself. On Hollywood: "I'm not seduced by it all. I swear to God. I'm easily pleased, yeah. Don't get me wrong, I'll indulge in it. I'll be in Los Angeles for two weeks and I'll have a laugh, get battered and have a buzz, but at the end of the day, I'll go home.

It's just me earning a few more stories to tell everyone at home and all." It kind of went downhill, I was smoking a bit of reef. You know, you roll your first joint, drink your first beer and discover the girls and, well, that was it. I loved football, but I couldn't make the training any more" - on his football aspirations as a youth. I do have the ability to explore life and to be over the moon at the smallest thing - a few pints and a craic in the pub and I'm in heaven. But I have a melancholy side to me as well. Acting allows me to feel things, it kind of buys me human experience. And I don't mean this as acting as higher cause, because it's not, but it does kind of have a higher awareness emotionally. I work my arse off. I'm never late, ask anyone. I'm only 27. I don't feel like a big star. I feel neither the pressure nor the grandeur of my situation, you know. I think I'm still trying to find my feet as an actor.

And I know it ain't brain surgery, but it confuses me and it comes between me and my sleep a lot. I'm just a true Irish boy at heart. I'm just myself, I stick by my guns and I treat people the way I think they should be treated, regardless of their status. And I just have a laugh. (On the girl that will interest him) "The usual obvious bullshit. Sense of humour, a bit of danger, good fun. A good heart is a really sexy thing. All women have the potential to be sexy and it's nothing to do with the dress someone wears or the make-up they put on their face, it's the aged-old cliché saying: 'What comes from inside'. God, I've met gorgeous women who I'd fancy and give one to, but at the end of the day they're not particularly sexy because they haven't got much going inside and they are too concerned with themselves.

And then I've met women who wouldn't be as nearly as attractive and, because of the sense of fun they have and their joi de vivre, as they say, they'd be much sexier and you'd fall for them in a nanosecond." I get no kicks from going to the gym. It doesn't do it for me. Never has. Some people enjoy working out. But that's never done it for me. In the past, I'd breathe in heavily between takes. I sucked it in and did a take. That way it doesn't hurt the beer consumption at all. Anything I am and anything I hope to be, I have my mom to thank. Family Circle, 4-18-06. I think I was 8 or 9 when I had a f*cking mad thing for Marilyn Monroe . I used to leave Smarties, the Irish equivalent of M&M's, under my pillow with a little note saying, 'I know you're dead, but these are very f*cking tasty, and you should come have a few.

I won't tell anyone.' [on In Bruges (2008)] - When I read it, I said to Martin McDonagh , the director, 'I don't think you should hire me'. I said I come with a certain amount of baggage that has been well-earned through the years and this piece is so pure, I would love the audience to not have too much of a relationship with any of the actors. Thankfully, he didn't listen to me. [on Miami Vice (2006)] - I didn't like it so much. I thought it was style over substance and I accept a good bit of the responsibility. I think we missed an opportunity. It was never going to be Lethal Weapon (1987), but I think we missed an opportunity to have a friendship that also had some elements of fun. The ins and outs of what I've been through, even when it comes to rehab, is not a sad story. None of it is a sad story. I had a great time and some amazing memories and lots of good stuff that I've forgotten.

I went from being in Ballykissangel (1996) to starring opposite Bruce Willis in Hart's War (2002) in the space of two years. Fame was something that seemed incredibly exotic. It represented the ultimate kind of status. But it eventually became one of those 'be careful what you wish for' things. I'd like to make big films and small films, mainly because I'm a massive fan of film. The idea of doing an Indiana Jones, or even an Inception (2010) - I love the grandiosity, how sweepingly entertaining films can be. And I think there's a place for films that pry more into the human condition. Hardship tends to unify. My Dublin wasn't the Dublin of sing-songs, traditional music, sense of history and place and community. It was kind of more nouveau-riche, competition with the neighbours, a bit more privileged than the Dublin of lore. [on his vampire character in Fright Night (2011)] He is an incredible observer of human behavior. Human beings are simultaneously a point of fascination and a point of disgust. He is sick of them. They are weak, they are flawed, they feel too much.

But he needs them to survive. [on scathing reviews for his performance in Alexander (2004)] That was fairly defining. I seriously thought of walking away from it all. When I went to the Oscars for the first time I was gobsmacked and I mean I've been three times. It's huge, it's ridiculous and it's pompous and equally it's exciting and awe-inspiring. It means nothing and it means loads. [on getting into top shape for Total Recall (2012)] I knew it was going to be a physical shoot. So I thought, I'm gonna put on a bit of weight, I'm gonna put on a bit of muscle and I'll get as fit as I've ever been...I did three miles every day on the treadmill, I'd do an hour and a half of weights. I'd go home, have something to eat, go for a two hour hike on the hills. I did that six days a week for three months! [2012, on quitting drinking] When I knocked the jar on the head seven years ago, it was a BIG life change. You know, you don't just not drink and then act the same way and live the same way.

For me, the drink was a huge part of my identity and it was a huge part of who I felt I was as a man. I'd been drinking since I was 14. So when that's gone, your life changes a little bit. [on getting into yoga] I was suspicious for a bit. I remember thinking about six months into not drinking 'fuck, I bet you I'm going to start doing fucking yoga at some stage. Next thing I'll be a vegan'. I remember feeling embarrassed about this new health buzz that I was getting into bit by bit... I was at home in the garden with a cup of tea and I had nothing to do. Will I go and see a film? No, I'll go and do fucking yoga. For me, walking into a yoga studio was mortifying. It was like walking into a guitar shop or a motor bike shop - instant inferiority complex, when you're not part of the gang. But I took a class and haven't looked back since... You spend so much time in your head in life. And what yoga does is, it asks you to allow your head to be quiet, to allow it to be still, just for an hour and a half.

Just deal with your body and your breath. And it's a great workout. I love it. [on Alexander (2004)] The reviews and the financial catastrophe that it was made me ask questions about what I was doing and if I wanted to do it. There was a certain amount of craft I lacked at the time. But all of us involved in that film worked our arses off and gave it 110 per cent. As Anthony Hopkins ' character says: "All men, we reach, we fall, we reach, we fall." That was prophetic because the film reached so far. I've heard the fifth cut is genius. Oliver Stone has said: "At last, it's the film I wanted to make. [2013] Valentine's Day - I don't even know what that's about. I mean, it's an excuse, I don't think there's anything wrong with flowers or chocolate-covered cherries, but it would be nice if it didn't take a commercially-promoted holiday for people to extend themselves in gestures of love.

[on Ireland] The depth of our cultural complexities, our music, literature, community and the pain that we share means that I could be away from there for 50 years and I wouldn't feel any less Irish.

Early life Edit Block Farrell was born in Dublin, the son of Rita (née Monaghan), a housewife, and Eamon Farrell, a footballer who played for Shamrock Rovers FC and owned a company importing and exporting canned goods in Dublin City. He was raised Roman Catholic. His uncle Tommy Farrell also played for Rovers. Farrell has two sisters, Claudine (who is his personal assistant) and Catherine, and a brother, Eamon Jr. When he was ten, the Farrells moved to Castleknock, a Dublin suburb.

Farrell was educated at St. Brigid's National School Castleknock followed by Castleknock College and Gormanston College. Farrell unsuccessfully auditioned for the Irish group Boyzone when he was still unknown. Farrell attended The Gaiety School of Acting, but dropped out and was cast in the part of Danny Byrne on Ballykissangel, a BBC television drama. Farrell appeared on the show seven times from 1998 to 1999. Career Edit Block Farrell at the 2007 Toronto Film Festival Farrell had small parts in television shows and films, including the BBC drama Ballykissangel in 1998, and his film debut in Tim Roth's The War Zone. In 2000, he was cast in the lead role of Private Roland Bozz in Tigerland, an American film directed by Joel Schumacher. Farrell's next American films, American Outlaws (2001) and Hart's War (2002), were not commercially successful, but his 2003 films, including Phone Booth, S.W.A.T., and The Recruit were well-received box office successes.

Although he has a pronounced Irish accent, Farrell uses an American accent in some of his films including American Outlaws and his breakthrough role, Tigerland. Farrell roles as a supporting actor include his performances as an ambitious cop who chases after a potential criminal, played by actor Tom Cruise in Minority Report (2002), and as the skilled villain Bullseye in Daredevil (2003). Matt Damon was originally offered the Minority Report role but he turned it down to appear in Ocean's Eleven. Farrell said "he had no problem" that people knew he was the producer's fall back pick after Damon declined. The character of Bullseye is that of an assassin with perfect accuracy and deep-rooted pride of it. Farrell was attached to this role in December 2001, though initially he was considered for the lead role as Matt Murdock, aka Daredevil, until Ben Affleck signed. Farrell was encouraged to keep his Irish accent as this version of Bullseye is from Ireland.

Farrell had to read into Frank Miller's Daredevil comics to understand Bullseye "because the expression on the character's faces in the comic books, and just the way they move sometimes, and the exaggerations of the character I'm playing […] he's so over-the-top that you do draw from that. But it's not exactly a character you can do method acting for... you know, running around New York killing people with paper clips." In late 2003, Farrell starred as a criminal who plots a bank heist with Cillian Murphy in the comedy Intermission, which held the record as highest-grossing Irish independent film in Irish box office history until 2006. In 2004, Farrell appeared in several independent films that received only a limited theatrical release in most countries, including A Home at the End of the World, which received some positive reviews. Farrell appeared as a bisexual character in A Home at the End of the World. Farrell appeared in the title role of Alexander the Great in Oliver Stone's 2004 biopic Alexander, which, while receiving some favorable reviews internationally, received mostly mediocre and negative reviews in the United States.

It was marked by controversy for portraying the ancient conqueror as bisexual, and received criticism from some historians for its portrayal of the ancient Persians, though others praised it for its accuracy in these regards as well. The movie grossed a total of $167 million worldwide, despite its poor showing within the United States, just exceeding its budget of $155 million. Farrell's next film was 2005's Academy Award-nominated The New World, also a historical epic that was met with mixed reviews. Farrell played the leading role of captain John Smith, the founder of 17th century colonial Jamestown, Virginia who falls in love with a beautiful Native American princess, Pocahontas, played by Q'Orianka Kilcher. The film received positive reviews, despite being released in only 811 theaters worldwide and having a relatively low box office gross. The New World was followed by Ask the Dust, a romance film set in period Los Angeles and co-starring Salma Hayek. It received a very limited theatrical release and was not a financial success. 2006 brought more success in Farrell's career, as he appeared opposite Jamie Foxx in Michael Mann's action-crime film Miami Vice.

The film was a box office success grossing a total of US $164 million worldwide. Farrell was next seen in Woody Allen's Cassandra's Dream, which premiered in 2007 and was distributed in the U.S. in early 2008. Farrell's next film, Martin McDonagh's In Bruges, opened the Sundance Film Festival in 2008; Farrell received his first Golden Globe nomination and win for his role as Ray, a hired hitman. Shortly thereafter, he appeared in Kicking It, a documentary following six homeless men from different countries as they attempt to qualify for the Homeless World Cup. Farrell appeared on screen and provided narration. The film released simultaneously in theaters and television, airing on ESPN2 with a very short window to DVD release. Farrell received positive press for his involvement in the heartwarming true-life tale, and enthusiastic reviews for the two dramatic roles that preceded it. On 11 January 2009, he won the Golden Globe award for Best Actor: Musical or Comedy for his role in In Bruges, in which he co-starred with Brendan Gleeson.

The same year, he starred in Terry Gilliam's film The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, alongside Christopher Plummer. He was one of the actors, along with Johnny Depp and Jude Law, who helped complete the late Heath Ledger's role after he died before filming ended. They all played "Imaginarium" versions of Ledger's character Tony. He also took a supporting role as Tommy Sweet in Crazy Heart, alongside Academy Award-winning Jeff Bridges. 2010 saw the release of Ondine, a fantasy-drama directed by Neil Jordan, which stars Farrell as a fisherman. It also saw him star opposite Keira Knightley in the crime / romance London Boulevard. The film was directed by William Monahan, screenplay writer of The Departed and Body of Lies Upcoming films Farrell is involved in a film adaptation of Flann O'Brien's metafictional novel At Swim-Two-Birds alongside Cillian Murphy and Gabriel Byrne. Actor Brendan Gleeson will direct the film, which was scheduled for released in 2010. In October 2009, however, Gleeson expressed fear that, should the Irish Film Board be abolished as planned by the Irish State, the production may fall through.

Farrell is also scheduled to play the lead role in the upcoming Fright Night remake. Farrell joins Anton Yelchin, David Tennant, and Toni Collette in this story about a charismatic vampire who moves in next to a film obsessed high school student. The film will be released by Dreamworks, with Craig Gillespie directing. Farrell will also join a comedy movie with Jennifer Aniston, Jason Bateman and Jason Sudeikis, titled Horrible Bosses, directed by Seth Gordon. The film focuses on a trio of employees who plot to murder their titular tyrannical supervisors. Both these films are due to release theatrically in 2011. Additionally, Colin Farrell slated to begin filming Columbia Pictures' Total Recall remake in May 2011. Len Wiseman will direct the film, a new take on the Arnold Schwarzenegger sci-fi picture about a sleeper agent who is compelled to travel to a colony on Mars. Kurt Wimmer (Salt) wrote the script, though of course both films come from the Philip K.

Dick story "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale." Farrell has also been announced to be starring alongside Sam Rockwell, Mickey Rourke and Christopher Walken in ‘Seven Psychopaths’ written and Directed by Martin McDonagh (In Bruges). Personal life Family Farrell was married to English actress Amelia Warner from July 2001 to November 2001. Colin and US model Kim Bordenave became parents of James Padraig Farrell, who was born on 12 September 2003, in Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles. In October 2007, Farrell revealed that his son has Angelman Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder characterized by intellectual and developmental delay, speech impediment, sleep disturbance, seizures, hand flapping movements, and frequent laughter/smiling. It was announced on 14 September 2009, that Farrell and Ondine co-star Alicja Bachleda-Curus were expecting a child together. Their son, Henry Tadeusz Farrell, was born on 7 October 2009 and was baptised in the Catholic Church of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Krakow, Poland.

It was reported on 15 October 2010 that Farrell left Bachleda a couple of months prior. Soon it was officially confirmed. Friendship with Elizabeth Taylor Farrell had reportedly grown very close to Elizabeth Taylor shortly before her death and was one of the few non-family members to attend her private funeral. He recited the poems The Leaden Echo and The Golden Echo by Gerard Manley Hopkins at her funeral, requested by Elizabeth herself. Drug addictions In December 2005, Farrell voluntarily checked into a rehabilitation treatment center for addictions to recreational drugs and painkillers. His publicist commented that Farrell had started taking painkillers due to a back injury. He was released in January 2006. In May 2006, Farrell started attending rehabilitation meetings. Alleged proposition for sex In 2005, Dame Eileen Atkins — who was 70 at the time — revealed on Loose Women that a "stunningly gorgeous big film star" spent nearly three hours propositioning her for "sex with no strings". The "star" was later revealed to be Farrell, whom Atkins had acted alongside in the film Ask the Dust.

Atkins claimed she was tempted, but turned him down because he is 42 years her junior. Farrell did not comment initially, although since he has admitted to and joked about it on chat show Friday Night with Jonathan Ross. Lawsuits In July 2006, Farrell filed a lawsuit suing his former girlfriend, Playboy model Nicole Narain, and the Internet Commerce Group (ICG) over the unauthorised public distribution of a 14-minute sex tape that Farrell made with Narain in 2003. Farrell claims he understood the tape as being "strictly private and confidential and will take legal court actions to anyone who tries to distribute it", but it was leaked to Schmidt and ICG who tried to release it publicly. A Los Angeles judge issued an injunction barring the sale, distribution, or display of the tape. Narain claimed that she did not give the tape to anyone and was not sure if or how copies were taken from her.

She originally said that she would work with Farrell to ensure that it remained private, but Farrell said that Narain, along with Schmidt, was trying to release it in order to damage his acting career and "make money out of it", which Narain denies.[dead link] In January 2006, the tape surfaced on a website named dirtycolin.com. The site was shut down on the same day because the server overloaded, but re-opened a week later.[citation needed] The tape was then pirated through file sharing systems. Both Farrell's and Narain's lawyers denounced the site, which was shut down again a few days later for unknown reasons. Farrell's legal team said it would take legal action against sites that hosted the tape. A trial date for the Narain lawsuit was set for 17 July 2006, but the judge allowed Farrell and Nicole to mediate until 20 April. On 16 April, the two reached a settlement with confidential terms. However, Farrell's lawsuit against ICG continued with a trial date set for 21 July 2006. Farrell has been sued twice for alleged harassment and sending foul messages to telephone sex worker Dessarae Bradford.

The lawsuits were later dismissed due to a lack of evidence provided by Bradford. Bradford, who has announced that she is "waging war on Colin Farrell", has recorded a song entitled "Colin Farrell is My Bitch" and has self-published a book called Colin Farrell: A Dark Twisted Puppy. Bradford took a lie detector test on an i TV program in an attempt to support her claims and stories. She failed the test. On 20 July 2006, as Farrell was being interviewed by Jay Leno on the set of The Tonight Show, Bradford evaded security, walked on stage as cameras were rolling, confronted Farrell, and threw her book on Leno's desk. In front of a silent, stunned audience, Farrell escorted her off the stage himself, told the camera crew to stop filming, and handed her over to security. As Bradford was led out of the studio, she shouted "I'll see you in court." Farrell's response was, "Darling, you're insane!" Outside the studio, NBC security handed her to Burbank police, who eventually released her.

After Farrell apologised to the audience, describing Bradford as "my first stalker", the show then continued filming and the incident was edited out of the broadcast aired that night. The following day, Farrell obtained a restraining order against Bradford. Celebrity status Edit Block Farrell was named one of People magazine's "50 Most Beautiful People" in 2003. He was also voted sixth in the World's "Sexiest Man" contest by Company magazine that same year. In 2007, Farrell joined other celebrities including Bruce Willis, Muhammad Ali, Eva Mendes, Vanessa L. Williams and Arnold Schwarzenegger to become an official games spokesman for the Special Olympics World Games in Shanghai, China. Filmography BIOGRAPHY: Colin Farrell Lifetime twitter BIOGRAPHY From 'Ballykissangel' to 'Tigerland' and 'Miami Vice', this Irish bad boy has conquered Hollywood, but still struggles with his personal demons: drinks, drugs and women. Often described as “Ireland’s answer to Russell Crowe”, Colin Farrell was born into a typical Irish working-class family in Castleknock, a pleasant suburb of Dublin. Farrell was the youngest of four children.

His older brother Eamonn now runs a school for the performing arts in Dublin, whilst older sister Claudine works as Colin’s personal assistant. Farrell’s other sister, Catherine, has also worked as an extra in several of his recent movies. Farrell is deeply indebted to his sister Catherine, for she was the person who first awakened the love of acting within him. Brother and sister would sit up late together watching old movies, and it wasn’t long before Farrell had a big crush on sex goddess Marilyn Monroe. At the tender age of 8, he would leave Smarties under his pillow, along with a note inviting her to come down from Heaven and share them with him. But at this stage, Farrell had no desire to follow his idols onto the big screen. Instead, he dreamed of becoming a footballer, like his father Eamonn and his uncle Tommy, who both played for the team Shamrock Rovers, and were two of the leading Irish sporting celebrities of their day. As a teenager, Farrell’s favourite pastimes were football and fighting, and he had little taste for the discipline of school.

So, in an effort to tame his wild ways, his despairing parents sent him to Castleknock College, an exclusive private academy with strict rules and discipline. But instead of knuckling down to his studies, Colin spent his time smoking, drinking and chasing girls, as well as shoplifting and joyriding - the latter resulting in his spending a night in a police cell. Eventually, he was sent away to Gormanston boarding school, but he fared no better there, and was constantly in trouble for skipping classes and skiving off to the local pub. His school career came to an abrupt end at the age of 17, when he was expelled from Gormanston after punching a supervisor. After a brief spell of treatment for depression at the age of 18 (“I just vomited for six months”), Farrell decided to take a year out and headed off to Australia with two of his friends. In between spells of heavy drinking, working in a bank and waiting tables in a restaurant, it was here that Farrell had his first taste of acting. He was befriended by Australian photographer Stuart Campbell, who introduced him to his friend Tony Knight, the Head of Acting at NIDA, the Australian acting academy.

Farrell made his stage debut at The Performance Place, an open-air amateur dramatics venue in a Sydney park, playing one of Ned Kelly’s renegade cowboys in a play called 'Kelly’s Reign'. When Farrell returned to Dublin, he took on a succession of casual jobs, and even joined a touring troupe of line-dancers for a few months. He lapsed into another fit of depression, before his brother Eamonn persuaded him to enrol for acting classes, and offered to pay for his first set of lessons at the National Performing Arts School in Dublin. Farrell took to acting instantly, and continued his studies at the Gaiety School of Drama. This led to his screen debut, for whilst still at the Gaiety, he landed a small part in 'The Disappearance of Finbar', a low-budget indie production about a group of Irish children. Farrell’s next screen appearance was in 'Drinking Crude', a 'rites of passage' movie with a rock and roll soundtrack. He followed this up with a part in a TV miniseries, 'Falling for a Dancer'.

Encouraged by these early successes, Farrell headed off for London, where he secured an important stage role, playing a semi-autistic teenager in Gary Mitchell’s play 'In A Little World of Our Own' at the Donmar Warehouse. It was here that destiny played a hand, for whilst on stage, he was noticed by Kevin Spacey, who was over in London to appear in 'The Iceman Cometh', another West End theatre production. Farrell and Spacey became friends and started hanging out together, and it wasn’t long before Spacey had introduced Farrell to the producers of 'Ordinary Decent Criminal', a film that was he was about to start shooting in Ireland. Meeting Kevin Spacey was undoubtedly Farrell’s big break, but his acting career was already beginning to take off. He landed a part in a TV adaptation of 'David Copperfield', starring Dame Maggie Smith, and also featured in the popular BBC Irish series, 'Ballykissangel', in which he played a young horseman, Danny Byrne.

Then came the actual filming of 'Ordinary Decent Criminal', in which his mate Kevin Spacey played a notorious mobster, who evades police arrest at every turn - Farrell played Alec, the youngest member of Spacey’s gang. Keen to make the most of his success in 'Ordinary Decent Criminal', Farrell went off to Hollywood to tout for further big screen roles. True to form, he partied hard and fast, but was soon mixing socially with A-list celebrities like Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt, and more importantly, also succeeded in getting himself onto the books of CAA, the top-ranking Hollywood agents whose client list included Cuba Gooding Jr, Elizabeth Shue and Donald Sutherland. Farrell left Hollywood empty-handed on this occasion, but his luck changed when American director Joel Schumacher asked him to audition in London. Farrell arrived too late to audition, but Schumacher asked him to send a video showreel.

Two weeks later, Farrell got a call from the director, asking: “Wanna make a movie?” The film was 'Tigerland', and Farrell played the part of Bozz, a new Vietnam recruit back in 1971, enduring the full pain of boot camp training before shipping out to go to war. 'Tigerland' received widespread critical acclaim, and Farrell was hailed as Best Actor of the Year by the Boston Society of Film Critics. Now a rising star, Farrell next played Jesse James in 'American Outlaws', and also embarked on a whirlwind romance with Amelia Warner, whom he married in July 2001. Amelia also had a promising film career, and the future looked rosy - but the marriage soon floundered, and the couple filed for divorce after only four months. Notwithstanding his eventful personal life, Farrell followed his performance in 'American Outlaws' with a string of prestigious, high-profile projects. His next big role was in 'Hart’s War', a prison-camp drama set in the Second World War, which also starred Bruce Willis. Next, Farrell was chosen by Steven Spielberg for a starring role alongside Tom Cruise in his futuristic police drama, 'Minority Report'.

Farrell played Detective Danny Witwer, a cop who arrests people for crimes before they’ve even committed them, and it was a smash hit. This was Farrell’s first really substantial box office success, and it paved the way for his “wonder year” in 2003, when he starred in no less than six Hollywood movies. First was 'The Recruit', where he played a CIA operative under the wing of Al Pacino; then came 'Daredevil', where he played an assassin, who could kill people with peanuts and paper clips! Schumacher also directed Farrell in 'Veronica Guerin' during the same year, where he acted alongside Cate Blanchett in the title role as the courageous journalist who was murdered by the IRA. Then came 'Phone Booth', where Colin was directed once again by Joel Schumacher: by a spooky coincidence, filming was held up by the real-life drama of the Washington snipers, and was an impressive star vehicle for Farrell, who appeared in nearly every scene. Next came 'S.W.A.T.', based on the 1970s TV series, where Colin co-starred with Samuel L. Jackson.

Then came 'A Home At The End Of The World', a tender movie which succeeded in causing tabloid furores, when it was rumoured that Farrell’s nude scenes had been cut because test audiences were so distracted by the sight of his penis! Causing controversy once again, Farrell’s next big role was the title lead in 'Alexander', a $150-million budget would-be blockbuster directed by Oliver Stone. The film was not well received by the critics, but Farrell was widely praised for having the courage to play a non-heterosexual role. Remaining philosophical about his latest movie’s poor reception, Farrell continued to hold out for plum roles with top directors, and next co-starred with Tom Cruise once again in Robert Towne’s 'Ask The Dust', a Depression-era romance. Farrell hit the big time again with his role in 'Miami Vice', Michael Mann’s remake of his own 1980s hit TV series, where he played the role first made famous by Don Johnson.

Colin Farrell is now widely acknowledged to be at the top of his game - indeed, his own childhood idol Al Pacino recently described him as “the best actor of his generation.” In 2008 he co-starred with Edward Norton in another police drama, 'Pride and Glory'. Scandal and tabloid gossip about his private life have accompanied Colin Farrell every step of the way throughout his meteoric rise to Hollywood fame, and scarcely a month goes by without some juicy new tale of his exploits hitting the headlines. But since Farrell is renowned for his sexual athleticism and antics, the gossip pundits might well say that he has only himself to blame - and he’s certainly kept the gossip writers busy since he arrived in Hollywood. In 2005, 70-year-old actress Eileen Atkins reported that during the filming of 'Ask The Dust', Farrell had repeatedly propositioned her, asking her for no strings-sex. Colin Farrell’s taste for older women is well proven, as he was reputed to have lost his virginity to a 35-year old actress when he himself was only 15! Few of Farrell’s romances have lasted, however, and one old liaison turned particularly nasty for the Hollywood star.

In 2005, he was forced to go to court to seek an injunction against ex-girlfriend Nicole Narain, to stop her releasing a 15-minute sex video on the internet. The videotape apparently featured Farrell and Narain performing a variety of sexual exploits, but the actor told the judge that the film had been made with the understanding that it would never be shown in public. Farrell accused Narain of working with the owner of an internet porn business, and of contacting the international news media to alert them of the tape’s existence. Farrell also claimed that the release of the tape would irreparably damage his reputation and career, and demanded that all copies be returned to him, so that he could destroy them. Farrell won the court case and prevented the tape ever leaking out to the press. Farrell was at the centre of further controversy in July 2006, when he was confronted by Desserae Bradford, a member of the studio audience, whilst he was being interviewed as a guest on the 'Tonight Show with Jay Leno'. Bradford accused Farrell of stalking her, and said he had also bombarded her with sexually explicit phone calls and text messages.

Initially, the studio audience thought it was a comedy sketch, but Bradford was later escorted from the TV studio by the police, and cautioned not to return. The actor claims that the most important relationship in his life right now is with his son James, who was born in 2004, whilst he was involved with American model Kim Bordenave, who was five years his senior. Farrell claims that his son James has, at long last, given him a reason to reform his wild ways. “I want to watch my son grow up, be his friend and father, and hang around with him. He’s the greatest priority in my life.” In October 2007, Farrell revealed that his son has the rare Angelman Syndrome, which is characterised by intellectual and developmental delay. That year he starred in 'Cassandra's Dream' followed by In Bruges in 2008, as a hitman who has experienced a difficult job. Farrell won the Golden Globe award for Best Actor for his role on 1 January 2009.

He was also one of the three actors who took over from Heath Ledger, following his death in 2008, in the Terry Gillam film 'The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus'. In 2009, he also appeared in 'Triage', 'Ondine' and 'Crazy Heart' followed by 'The Way Back' and 'London Boulevard' in 2010. Farrell also played a comedic role in 'Horrible Bosses' alongside Jennifer Anniston and Jason Bateman in 2011, before donning fangs to play the vampire Jerry in 'Fright Night', a remake of the 1980s horror film of the same name. He still continues to work consistently, with roles in 'Seven Psychopaths', a remake of the Arnold Schwarzenegger classic 'Total Recall' and 'Dead Man Down'. The actor has also had another son in this time with his Ondine co-star Alicja Bachleda-Curus. She gave birth to son Henry on 7 October 2009. The couple have since split.
