Colin Farrell's grave drinking
Saturday, 11 October 2008
Colin Farrell says drinking almost killed him.
The 'Phone Booth' actor developed a taste for alcohol in his early teens and admits he needed to quit before he got seriously ill.
He said: "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."
The 32-year-old star also insists he was serious when he propositioned 73-year-old actress Dame Eileen Atkins for sex three years ago - and has vowed to try and seduce her again.
He added: "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!"
