Cinnamon Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I have never been much of a fan of Colin Farrell, thinking him a bit of a twit to be honest. But I have changed my mind after seeing him interviewed by Johnathan Ross on Friday. He was funny,sweet,modest & very self deprecating, making me laugh out loud several times. Isn't it funny how your perception of someone is totally molded by their press, or the characters they might play in movies? Then when you actually see them being the person they really are you realise how great they are? Did anyone else see it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..lay a little egg for me Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Yes, I did see it, but had to turn over because he was so twitchy it was making me uncomfortable. Watched Dawn French on Al Murray's show...she was hilarious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I saw half of the interview, as I forgot it was on. I really liked him. He has a brain and was very 'enlightened' I thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jillus Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I must admit I have alwayy had a soft spot for Colin Farrell since he was the gypsy boy in Ballykissangel all those years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenGirl Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I saw it, and like you say Cinnamon, I never really thought much of him, thinking he was a hollywood brat and attention seeker. he has clearly done a lot of work on himself, and I thought he was sweet, sincere and real, unusual for a lot of JR's guests! and those eyes ... (shame about the eyebrows!) I thought he was a good role model for those going through the pain of getting themselves well (speaking as a therapist), and made a change for the usual 'oh poor me' post re-hab stories stars normally come out with. Gorgeous, outside and now inside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted October 13, 2008 Author Share Posted October 13, 2008 and those eyes ...

GreenGirl Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 eeugh, and now I will never think of him the same again alternatively, there is something about the grease (not on kev, on colin ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faye&Ant Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I saw it Cinnamon and I totally agree - he is gorgeous and came across really down to earth. His films are not bad either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarbaraJ Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 i didn't really know him as i don't read celebs stuff ever but seemed a sincere bloke, just recognised him from films. don't like long hair though on blokes ever eww he looked much better in minority report. I hated phonebooth though, bored me to tears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedusA Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 He seemed very sweet but horrendously nervous and twitchy. I had no idea that he was a boozer (I never read any media gossip mags). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
