Colin Farrell Admits His Drinking Habit Was Killing Him

During a recent appearance on the Jonathan Ross show Colin Farrell admitted that his drinking habit was killing him.

”I’d been drinking since I was 14. I was pretty sick. At the beginning [of recovery] I found it really hard.

“For me there was no choice… it was tough but I was dying. I was struggling not to have a complete meltdown… I was just gone.

“I’m glad I’m out of that cycle, I’m very lucky.”

Farrell also told Ross that he was being serious about wanting to seduce Emmy award winning writer Dame Eileen Atkins:

“The one that got away! I gave it all that I was worth. She’s an incredibly attractive woman, wicked.

“I fell at the first hurdle, my ego couldn’t take any more refusals. I saw her in New York and said our time will come… it’s unfinished business!”

Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell, Jude Law donates money to Heath Ledger's daughter

Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law have donated their earnings from new movie 'The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus' to Heath Ledger's daughter Matilda.

The actors - who replaced Heath following his death from an accidental prescription drugs overdose in January - wanted to give their money to Heath's two-year-old child with actress Michelle Williams to ensure she has a secure future.

The movie's director Terry Gilliam said: "The three actors were totally heroic coming in. This doesn't happen very often - where there's a tragedy like this, and very famous, very successful actors suddenly say, 'OK, we'll do whatever it takes to help.'

"They came, they did the work, they allowed the movie to be finished, they didn't take money - the money goes to Heath's daughter. That's extraordinary!

"I am so glad these guys are so humble. That's why they make a great addition to the film. It will be bittersweet seeing this movie knowing he was filming it only days before he died. This picture still hurts to see because as we all know he did die a couple of days after this picture was taken. My thoughts will always be with Heath."

Johnny, Colin and Jude will all play Heath's character Tony as he is transported into three separate dimensions, which he accesses via a paranormal mirror belonging to a travelling theatre troupe.
