Colin Farrell: I eat chocolate waffles now instead of drinking beer

The Irish actor quit swigging lager and started scoffing

Colin Farrell

Former hellraiser Colin Farrell, 31, entered rebab in 2005 after confessing to heavy drinking, drug taking and womanising.

A sex tape of him and Playboy model Nicole Narain was a huge success after being leaked on to the internet but big-budget movies Alexander and Maimi Vice failed to set the box office alight.

The actor is hoping for a better reaction to new movie In Bruges, a comedy. A surprising choice, as Colin admits: 'I'm not known for having a funny bone in my body.'

And, of course, the recovering alcoholic had to shoot all his scenes cold stone sober.

'I couldn't go near the beer,' he says. 'That was the irony about working in Bruges at this stage in my career. They have 480 beers. I could've had a different time two years ago! I had chocolate instead. I had a lot of chocolate waffles and crêpes.'
