The 'Phone Booth' star, famed for his wild lifestyle, has confessed he holds in his stomach rather than go to the gym or cut down on partying.

He said: 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.

Meanwhile, the heartthrob star revealed that he is planning to turn his hand to directing."

But when the programme's host ROLANDA WATTS told Bradford the machine had proved she was lying, Bradford called her a whore and accused the PHONE BOOTH hunk of bribing the show's bosses to undermine her claims.

Bradford, who's currently promoting her self-published book COLIN FARRELL: A DARK TWISTED PUPPY, fumes, 'I was set up. I think Colin's lawyer and the people who handle his image have spent tens of thousands of dollars to manipulate the outcome of the show."

But in terms of Hollywood A-listers, no one sounds like more fun than Colin Farrell.

There are always stories about his legendary partying and the Irish actor has never been shy about the fact he likes a beverage or two more than staying in knitting.

But now the Alexander star is leading other Hollywood stars astray - starting with Oscar-winner Jamie Foxx on the set of their new movie Miami Vice.

In fact, such was the nature of a recent 12 hour session on the lash, that Jamie has vowed - like many of us on a Sunday morning - never to drink again."

She has accused Farrell of harassment - including sending her 500 text messages in three months - and is demanding $2,500.

But the Minority Report star has argued he does not even own a mobile phone.

Miss Bradford earlier told the court in Santa Monica, California: 'He used me for phone sex and then dumped me. He left me feeling cheap, like a piece of rubbish he could just toss aside when he had his fun.

'After phoning me all the time for phone sex he backed out of meeting me properly.'

Farrell -- the star of Alexander and S.W.A.T. -- appears in a new 30-second announcement on behalf of the United Nations World Food Program. The spot draws a parallel between the South Asia tsunami and the chronic problem of hunger that affects hundreds of millions of people daily.

Every week a tsunami rips through poor towns and villages all over the world, Farrell says in the PSA. It claims 25,000 lives a day, 175,000 a week. It sweeps children from the arms of their mothers, robs hundreds of millions of any hope for the future. That tsunami is hunger."

FOX23 -- ENTERTAINMENT: "The woman accusing Colin Farrell of stalking her has been given a month to properly serve the Irish actor or risk having to give up her case against him.

Dessarae Bradford appeared in court in Santa Monica, California Wednesday but was made to look stupid in front of the judge when it became clear she hadn't followed the correct procedure to bring a case against Farrell.

Bradford filed a handwritten lawsuit against Farrell in September, alleging the movie star pestered her with phone calls and accusing him of harassment and stalking - but it became clear at Wednesday's hearing that she hadn't actually served the actor.

Bradford was given one month to properly serve Farrell, or the case will be dismissed.

"Dublin-born hellraiser Colin Farrell has been nominated for a major movie award, and it's the one the Hollywood star doesn't want.

He has been named as a contender for the Worst Actor of the Year in the infamous Razzie Awards, handed out on the eve of the Academy Awards to the industry's greatest turkeys.

Farrell has been nominated for his heavily-panned blonde-haired and gay performance as Alexander in director Oliver Stone's epic screen disaster.

The film itself has collected an embarrassing six nominations, including Worst Director (Stone), Worst Screenplay, Worst Actress (Angelina Jolie) and Worst Supporting Actor (Val Kilmer).

The Razzies have become important in the film industry and in the past many winning actors and directors have entered into the spirit of the ceremony by turning up to receive their award.

One of the organisers told us yesterday: "Alexander was so bad that even Oliver Stone disowned it, and Colin was really, really awful in it ... but he's the sort of guy who doesn't give a damn what people think of him and, of course, we'd be delighted if he came to collect the award. If he wins it, that is!""

icEaling - Farrell's Alexander conquers the Hollywood world: "Hard-drinking, fast living and with a somewhat controversial private life - no wonder the boundaries become a little blurred when you look at actor Colin Farrell and his latest onscreen alter-ego Alexander the Great.

To be fair one was an ancient warrior king, the other is a movie star, but you can see what director Oliver Stone was thinking when he cast bad boy Colin in the lead of his epic new flick Alexander, which opened on Friday January 7.

In just a few short years Dublin-born Colin has come from nowhere to steal the Hollywood crown. He's also earned a reputation as a wild, womanising party animal, and been likened to a young Oliver Reed."

All-star premiere for Farrell film

RTE.ie Entertainment - Alexander (15A): "Directed by Oliver Stone, starring Colin Farrell, Angelina Jolie, Val Kilmer, Jared Leto, Anthony Hopkins, Rosario Dawson, Connor Paolo, John Kavanagh, Jonathan Rhys-Meyers and Nick Dunning.
Epic in its tale but not in the telling, Oliver Stone's take on one of history's most championed leaders will leave you feeling perplexed, and a little bit disappointed for Alexander's legend.
Alexander the Great was a warrior and conqueror whose legacy will forever be etched in history. Renowned for never having lost a battle, he craved kingdoms beyond most ruler's imaginings. Alexander never settled for less than what he yearned for. He seldom strayed from his heart's direction and was revered and respected by those who encountered his might and generosity of spirit. "

Farrell cozies up to newly single Lohan

2004-12-20T10:34:00.000-08:00

KRT Wire | 12/16/2004 | Farrell cozies up to newly single Lohan: "Colin Farrell just might have another notch on his almost disintegrated bedpost thanks to Wilmer Valderrama.
The 28-year-old Irish bad boy is reportedly keeping company with teen queen Lindsay Lohan, who the 'That `70s Show' actor recently dumped. Farrell and Lohan began spending time together last week in rehearsals for the episode of 'Saturday Night Live' on Dec. 11 that Farrell hosted.
In the opening monologue, the 'Alexander' star gives tips to the 'SNL' cast regulars on how to pick up women. After their many failed attempts to woo Lohan, who is planted in the audience, Farrell merely utters her name and she replies, 'I'll be in your dressing room.'
Apparently, the pair took their flirting beyond the show and to Farrell's room at the Plaza Hotel on Saturday after clubbing till 7 a.m. The day before they were also spotted locking lips after partying at the Marquee club."

Farrell adds another notch

2004-12-16T10:20:00.000-08:00

Farrell adds another notch: "Lindsay Lohan and Colin Farrell weren't just acting when they flirted during the opening monologue on last weekend's Saturday Night Live.
Farrell, who hosted the show, and Lohan, who showed up to defend the authenticity of her cleavage, danced, made out and then retired to Farrell's room at the Plaza Hotel on Friday night - then repeated the sequence after the show aired, a source tells the New York 'Daily News'.
It was perhaps only a matter of time. Gossip junkies may recall that Lohan reportedly slipped Farrell her number in March, but when he learned she was only 17 then, his jail-bait alarms sounded and he said, 'Thanks, maybe in a year or so.'
Lohan has since turned 18. "

One two three FCC!
In his opening monologue, Farrell noted he had just spent 14 months of his life making the Oliver Stone bomb 'Alexander' and wryly noted it was 'time well-spent.'
That's all you can do at this point -- make jokes. 'Alexander' is now ensconced in the public consciousness as a ginormousbomb, with a budget of $200 million, and a gross of less than $50 million. The Rotten Tomatoes site says 'Alexander' received favorable reviews from just 8 percent of the major critics in the country."

Stone's epic merely 'Alexander the OK', starring Colin Farrell

2004-12-06T14:13:00.000-08:00

Wichita Eagle | 12/05/2004 | Stone's epic merely 'Alexander the OK': "Oliver Stone lives up to his reputation as one of the most innovative and controversial directors of our time with his latest epic, which lasts nearly three hours and boasts several bloody battles complete with slow motion, dramatic music and dazzling special effects.
Whether he is true to the story of Alexander has been debated, but that is not really important. This is a Hollywood movie, not a history lesson. The motive is entertainment, and Stone achieves this.
Colin Farrell plays the title role of Alexander. Once you get past the fact that he looks ridiculous with blond hair, he does a pretty good job.
His portrayal of Alexander as a charismatic, passionate and loyal leader and man is quite convincing. Farrell effectively demonstrates Alexander's weaknesses as well as his strengths."

Colin Farrell on the Miami Vice Movie

Coming Soon! - Latest News: "Alexander star Colin Farrell talked to the Chicago Sun-Times about playing Det. James 'Sonny' Crockett in the upcoming Universal big screen version of Miami Vice, to be directed by Michael Mann.

'I'm not trying on those jackets just yet because I haven't signed, although I'd do anything to work with Michael Mann,' says Farrell, who is in talks to star with Jamie Foxx.

Having recently starred in S.W.A.T., why would Farrell sign on to yet another TV adaptation? 'The script is great. The director is great. The worst thing about the project is the title, but as a piece in and of itself it's brilliant,' Farrell adds.

Farrell says that the script 'goes deep into the undercover world. It's Mann doing his heavy and tough stuff, with the kind of great dialogue you saw in 'Heat' and 'Collateral.''"

Review: 'Alexander', starring Colin Farrell, far from great

2004-11-24T09:40:00.000-08:00

MLive.com: NewsFlash - Review: 'Alexander' far from great: "Far from great, 'Alexander' sporadically lumbers toward watchable, but mostly it's just bad.
And we're not just talking kitschy, B-movie bad. At least that would have been fun. We'll talking all-out, big-budget-bomb bad.
About a third of the way into this exceedingly earnest, three-hour epic, I wrote in my notepad, 'This movie is going to tank.' About two hours in, I wrote, 'Ready for this to end.'
Probably not the reaction director and co-writer Oliver Stone had hoped for when he began dreaming of this project decades ago. Then again, nothing about 'Alexander' feels like a Stone film, at least not until a breathtaking battle toward the end involving elephants in India.
Despite the efforts of cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto, known for his visceral work on films including 'Amores Perros' and '8 Mile,' 'Alexander' lacks the daring and stylistic flair of Stone's best, such as 'Platoon' and 'JFK.'"

AP Wire | 11/22/2004 | 'Alexander' Evokes Parallels to Politics: "With the big-budget movie debuting just weeks after the presidential election, Americans still fiercely divided about President Bush and his policies, and U.S. forces locked in bloody conflict in Iraq (one of Alexander's stomping grounds), Stone's 'Alexander' almost can't help but seem like a political allegory.
Both Alexander and President Bush are the most powerful leaders of their day, raised in the shadow of dynamic fathers who also wielded worldwide influence, and defined by an ambitious and ongoing war in a foreign land that is historically difficult to occupy. Both men spent years pursuing a high-profile enemy leader who fled into the hills of the Middle East.
'The film was never made for the purposes of a correlation or to say anything about today's present state,' said Colin Farrell, who stars in the title role. 'People say history repeats itself, well it does in different ways, shapes and forms. This was kind of a freaky coincidence that our story takes place exactly where all the madness we're all talking about takes place now.'"

Colin Farrell: As Alexander The Great Guy

2004-11-17T09:07:00.000-08:00

Windy City Times: "Five foot, ten inch, international superstar, Colin Farrell, walks into a suite at the St. Regis Hotel in Los Angeles on a recent late Sunday morning for our scheduled interview, not with cup of coffee in one hand, cell phone in the other, as 'conventional' Hollywood types normally do. No. One of his hand's long, thick fingers is gripping a goblet of Merlot, the other is holding a half-burnt cigarette. The polite Colin doesn't ask if it is OK to smoke, he will smoke and drink where and when he damn well pleases, but kindly delivers the cigarette to his mouth and puts out an empty hand to shake mine, clenching the cigarette between his teeth, in order to utter some pleasantries. "Nice to meet you, brother," he chimes in the Dublin accent that he has no intention of ever losing. "If it ain't broken, don't fix it, man."
Farrell, who earlier this year starred as the sexually ambiguous Bobby Morrow in the gay film A Home At the End of the World ( based on The Hours' gay author Michael Cunningham's novel ) , is back, bigger and better than ever in the title role of Oliver Stone's three hour epic, Alexander, set for release by Warner Bros. this Thanksgiving."

TheBostonChannel.com - Entertainment - Colin Farrell Shows The Full Monty In New Film: "The last time he pulled a full monty, it was cut out.
This time, it looks like Colin Farrell's full-frontal nude scene in 'Alexander' will stay. Farrell shows it all in a sex scene on his wedding night.
Blink and you'll miss it, though. It goes by quickly.
Previously, preview audiences ruined it for anyone who was looking forward to seeing all of Farrell in 'A Home at the End of the World.'
In that film, the Irish actor had a full-frontal nude scene, which was cut after audiences gasped or cheered when he walked out of the bedroom with nothing on. The producer said Farrell's nude scene became too distracting."

Colin, who claims to have calmed down since the birth of his son James last year, also confessed he was scared he may like heroin too much. But fear of becoming an addict didn't deter the Irish actor from trying other illegal substances. "

Brosnan backs Farrell for Bond

IOL: Brosnan backs Farrell for Bond: "Former James Bond star Pierce Brosnan has backed Colin Farrell to take over the role of 007.

The 51-year-old actor, who received an outstanding contribution to Irish cinema award last night at the Irish Film and Television Awards in Dublin, acknowledged there were several actors who could fill the coveted role.

"But I'll give it to Colin Farrell. He'll eat the head off them all," he said.

He suffered disappointment earlier this year when the producers failed to sign him up for the 21st Bond film.

But at the Irish Film and Television Awards in Dublin, Brosnan received a standing ovation from the 800-strong audience.

"I'm totally over the moon. I love this country and it's great we have this ceremony here in Ireland," he said.

He was presented with his award by British actor John Cleese, who took over the role of Q in the Bond films from Desmond Llewelyn."

ShowBiz Ireland - Colin Farrell Hiding Out in Dublin & Reynards Playboy Party with Bunny Girls: Photos...: "The big big news around town at the moment is Dublin's favourite son Colin Farrell is back in the city for a week but rather than his usual hellraising he seems to be taking it easy and laying low...

When Colin Farrell landed in Dublin at the weekend the first thing he did was make an unfortunate gaff about heroin usage in his youth but that was soon cleared up in an apparently rushed interview with a Sunday paper where he sincerely apologised about the comment.

And to top Colin making a nationwide apology even more surprising is that the talented heartthrob seems to be confined-to-quarters at his mum's house and hasn't been spotted frequenting the city's numerous watering-holes!"

Interview highlights include:
On playing Alexander: 'I just felt very lonely and very sad,' says Farrell of taking on the character. 'That [Alexander] never got to a place of comfort, a place of joy, a place where he ever felt like he was achieving enough. He was never surrounded by the love that he really wanted, even though he was lauded and applauded and deified. He may have worn it on the outside, but he never felt it on the inside.'"

Farrell's gay kiss freak-out

dailyrecord - FARRELL'S GAY KISS FREAK-OUT: "SCREEN stud Colin Farrell has admitted he was 'freaked out' by a gay kiss for his latest movie.
The Irish hunk had to lock lips with co-star Dallas Roberts in a scene in the controversial flick A Home At The End Of The World.
But the 28-year-old reckoned the pair coped with their close encounter by back-slapping and macho arm-punching.
Farrell said: 'It's weird enough having to kiss a woman you don't know in front of the camera, let alone another f ****** bloke.
'I had never kissed a fella before and it was really freaky. I didn't enjoy it and we were both kind of freaked out.'
But the Phone Booth star combatted his own questions of his sexuality by suggesting the pair go to a strip bar straight after the filming."

The actor - who stars as Alexander the Great in the movie - was taken aback by Stone's blunt nature, but learned to appreciate it.

Farrell said: 'It's very tough. He's just tough in his honesty, the brutality of his honesty. You do a take and he's like: 'S**t, I can't use a second of it, it's terrible, terrible. F**k, what are we going to do?'

'He's just honest. At the same time if he told you that was a great take, it was a great take. He doesn't dance around the truth, thank God. There are few enough people in the world that have the brutal honesty he has.'"

Warner Bros. denies delaying Alexander, starring Colin Farrell, over gay scenes

2004-10-05T10:19:00.000-07:00

Daily News...Advocate.com: "MSNBC.com's Jeannette Walls followed up on a report she ran last week, quoting an insider who said that Warner Bros. had pushed back the release date of Oliver Stone's new epic Alexander because studio executives were skittish over gay love scenes in the film between Colin Farrell (as bisexual conqueror Alexander the Great) and Francisco Bosch (who plays Persian eunuch Bagoas, thought by many historians to have been Alexander's lover). Warner Bros. refused to comment when Walls filed her original story, but since then she received a denial from the studio. Warner Bros. president of production Jeff Robinov wrote in an e-mail to Walls: 'That is completely untrue. Warner Bros. Pictures is proud of Alexander and thinks it is an exceptional piece of filmmaking. We've moved the release date, as we said earlier, to position it better for Academy consideration. We also want to allow ourselves more time to complete some of its ambitious visual effects.... Any speculation that the studio is trying to cut scenes from Alexander based on their depiction of the sexual relationships of the lead character is false and does not accurately represent the content of the film, which portrays Alexander the Great as heroic and a man of his time and culture.'

Colin Farrell: Colin Farrell's Gay Love Scene Too Explicit !!!!: "Colin Farrell's steamy gay love scenes are reportedly being cut from his latest film, 'Alexander'.
Insiders claim studio bosses fear scenes featuring the Irish heartthrob, as bisexual warrior Alexander the Great, romping with actor Francisco Bosch, who plays a Parisian eunuch called Bagoas, are too raunchy.
So the release date of the film, which also stars Angelina Jolie and Val Kilmer, has been put back from November 5 to November 24 so editors can cut the racy shots.
A source revealed to America's MSNBC: 'Alexander was almost certainly bisexual, and director Oliver Stone wanted to portray that. So there are scenes between Colin and women, but there are also some passionate scenes between Colin and Francisco. "

Colin Farrell plays by his own rules

Bradenton Herald | 08/26/2004 | Colin Farrell plays by his own rules: "big movie star doesn't walk into a plush Beverly Hills hotel suite carrying a plate of spaghetti.
But Colin Farrell does.
A big movie star doesn't interrupt a string of career-making roles in big-budget movies, including 'S.W.A.T,' 'Minority Report' and the upcoming Oliver Stone epic 'Alexander,' with an understated performance as a sexually ambiguous character in a low-budget drama called 'A Home at the End of the World.'
But Colin Farrell does.
In fact, the 28-year-old Irish actor doesn't follow a lot of the rules of Hollywood stardom. And that, my friends, is the point."

Review of "A Home at the End of the World", starring Colin Farrell

2004-09-10T07:03:00.000-07:00

Buffalo News - Fully exposed: "A Home at the End of the World' made news before its release due to a deleted full-frontal scene of a nude Colin Farrell. It was too distracting to viewers, the filmmakers said.
That tidbit was distracting in and of itself. A shot of Farrell's manhood would surely have been gratuitous in a scene shortly after his achingly naive character, at 23 years old, first makes love to a woman, but the before-release buzz lent 'A Home at the End of the World' a tawdriness it doesn't deserve.

Colin Farrell, bi and bi

Colin Farrell, bi and bi ... advocate.com: "Colin Farrell thinks that there's something to be said for the ways of men around 330 B.C. As he studied for his role as Alexander the Great for the upcoming Oliver Stone film Alexander, slated for November, he discovered that male bonding went much further than it does today.
"It was a time when men and men lay together and shared knowledge," he says like an enthusiastic historian. Then he winks and adds, "And they lay together."
Sexual identity aside, Alexander was the toughest role that the Tigerland, Phone Booth, and S.W.A.T. star ever attempted, he says, because it was both psychologically and physically draining. "It's the motherfucker of all motherfuckers," the Irishman says with characteristically colorful language. "These were fucking animals, even the king. He was on the battlefield with blood, sweat, and tears. Society was rough. It was honest, but it was rough. They drank a lot; they cussed a lot." "

She's very flattered though and looking forward to meeting him.' "

The film still had three days of shooting left when Farrell passed out and fell down a flight of stairs at co-star Val Kilmer's party for the cast and crew, World Entertainment News Network reported Tuesday.

Farrell broke his ankle and wrist in the spill and Stone said the mishap almost required the film's ending to be reworked.

Colin came very close. He gambled. We made it. We got some fill-in shots, Stone said."

MORE than three quarters of the stars of stage and screen claim to have suffered for their art, according to a new survey.

Big screen stars Colin Farrell, filming Alexander, and Brad Pitt, in Troy, have both become high-profile victims of movie accidents. And X-Men star Brian Cox admitted shooting a man’s nose off on stage when a trick shot went wrong.

There's not much in the thick sudsy head of the Irish drama Intermission.

Most of the violence emanates from Colin Farrell’s character, a thug who sucker-punches two women and shoots a guy before he’s done. Farrell is clearly having a wonderful time in a role that allows him to embrace his inner wanker—and doesn’t require him to shave, bathe or disguise his Irish accent. He’s charismatic, but he looks bored wandering through a criminal plot and a rivalry with an equally one-note police detective (Colm Meaney, who has a ham where his head should be) who’s being followed by a TV documentarian for absolutely no reason.
