Collin Farrell Promises To Be A Changed Man

Collin Farrell Promises To Be A Changed Man

Colin Farrel, the stunningly handsome and great actor, has always been frank and outspoken about his life but this time his exactly different only for one thing - He’s stopped lying.

Farrel adimts he wasn’t being honest with himself or anyone else when he was abusing drugs and alcohol early in his career.

He became popular as lightning fast thanks to movies like "Phone Booth, "S.W.A.T," and "The Recruit”.  In a new interview with Details, the now clean-and-sober actor gets candid about his past addiction as well as the ups and downs of parenting.

"Oh, I wouldn't tell a truth all day…If I'd had chicken and beans for dinner, I'd tell you I had steak and potatoes. No purpose, just habit. The amount of energy you have to put in and the amount of lies you have to tell to keep a drug habit alive, it's fairly significant. Your whole life is a lie”, he uttered.

Since he has been sober, the "Seven Psychopaths" star says he feels like he has more time and no longer walks through life in a haze. "Honestly, I've got eight hours a day now that I didn't have before, when I was drinking every day for 18 years," he admits.

Now, Farrell appreciates the little things. "I've never seen a moon in the sky that, if it didn't take my breath away, at least misplaced it for a moment," he shares, with the magazine noting that he was "unashamed by his own corny enthusiasms."

He goes on say, "When I was living a different way, I was probably profoundly bored. I had moments of elation. Now I never get f--king bored. I get excited about room service menus! I really do. Even though the french fries are soggy as f--k and I still haven't figured out an exact way to open up that Heinz mini jar – sometimes it's my nails, sometimes it's my teeth. I'm just grateful that I'm actually alive, to be honest. Anytime I have a shit mood, now it's some aspect of me that is present and is feeling whatever I'm feeling, and the same counts if I'm giddy or jocular. It's honest, it's real. That's quite simply the coolest thing. Everything is real now."

Collin Farrell is now absolutely happy with what he is now. After the devastating experiences he’d been through, this was considered his biggest achievement.
