In a recent episode of The Jonathan Ross Show, actor Colin Farrell got candid about his experiences and shared a hilarious Prince Albert horror story. The Irish heartthrob appeared on the chat show to discuss a range of topics, from his looks to his personal life.
Ross kicked off the interview by praising Ireland’s performance in the medals during the recent Olympic Games. While Farrell acknowledged that Ireland didn’t win too many medals, he took the opportunity to highlight the country’s indomitable spirit. He humorously remarked, “We may be a tiny little country, but we still have a lovely flag!”
The conversation then took a surprisingly intimate turn when Ross asked Farrell about his piercings. Farrell revealed that he had both ears pierced since he was 16 or 17 years old, citing the desire for a balanced look. Ross, curious as ever, asked if Farrell had any other piercing done. To everyone’s amusement, Farrell recalled hearing horror stories about the Prince Albert piercing and how he had never ventured into the realm of “downstairs bits.”
Farrell went on to share a hilarious anecdote about a fellow actor he knew who had a Prince Albert piercing. The actor used to tie an elastic band to his suitcase, attached to his piercing, as a party trick. However, one unfortunate day, one of their friends accidentally kicked the suitcase, leading to quite the commotion. It seems like Farrell has wisely opted to stay away from such endeavors.
The interview also touched upon Farrell’s journey towards a healthier lifestyle. Over the years, the actor has successfully battled his addiction to drugs and alcohol, and even quit smoking two years ago. When Ross inquired about his methods, Farrell shared a unique approach. He wrote a heartfelt letter to tobacco, expressing gratitude for being there and then ceremoniously burned it in a frying pan. The gesture seemed to have worked, as Farrell hasn’t smoked a cigarette since.
The conversation eventually shifted to Farrell’s two sons and how they have changed his perspective on life. He mentioned that his boys give him a newfound will to live, and experiencing life through their eyes has made it all the more enjoyable. He shared that spending time with them at the park and swimming are among his favorite activities.
As the interview drew to a close, Farrell briefly discussed his latest film, “Total Recall,” a remake of the 1990 action-packed classic. With co-stars Kate Beckinsale and Jessica Biel, it promises to be a thrilling summer blockbuster. He also teased his upcoming film, “Seven Psychopaths,” directed by Martin McDonagh, the mastermind behind the critically acclaimed “In Bruges.”
Colin Farrell‘s appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show was filled with laughter, sincerity, and a whole lot of entertainment. The charismatic actor’s ability to share personal stories with a touch of humor made for an engrossing interview. Fans of Farrell will eagerly anticipate his future projects and marvel at his continued success in both his personal and professional life.
