COLIN'S INTERVIEW ON THE "LATE LATE SHOW"

QUOTE: 
Colin Farrell has revealed how happy he is as a father to two sons, including even when he is changing diapers. He has taken five months off so far to be with them in Los Angeles and does not expect to work again until June

The star was on Ireland's "Late Late Show" and spoke about his children in frank terms.

He said he has been home with his four month-old son Henry for the past few months and relishes diaper duty. He met Henry’s mother, Alicja Bachleda, during the filming of "Ondine," his latest movie set in Ireland, which premiered there this week.

“It’s an honor he told host Ryan Tubridy, about changing diapers “it's actually good crack (fun), he is so lovely.”

He said he found changing diapers "easy" but would not have liked to do it in “the days of towels and pins.”

He has also been spending more time with his other son James who is six with actress Kim Bordenave. James has Angelman Syndrome, which makes it very difficult for him to communicate.

He said he and his child "communicate with signs…" and also with “expression and energy.”

Sometimes he said it can be frustrating, as the time when his son had an ear infection and they didn’t know for weeks. "I said 'Sorry little man’" when he eventually found out, he said.

He revealed he and Bachleda did not become involved during filming but rather afterwards when some scenes were reshot. “We took a closer look at each other,” he said.

WHOOPS... SLOW DOWN SPEEDY!




Oh this story did make me laugh... seems not even Mr. Farrell is above the law!

Hollywood movie star Colin Farrell has been fined for a late-night speeding offence in Bath.  

The Phonebooth and Miami Vice actor was caught by a speed camera driving at 45mph in a 30mph zone in his Range Rover in London Road.

The father of two was snapped at 1.49am on June 27 last year.

He failed to appear at Bath Magistrates Court yesterday to answer two charges, but instead sent in a handwritten letter of apology.

The 33-year-old, who holds an American driving licence, pleaded guilty to both the speeding offence and failing to provide information identifying the driver of the vehicle.

He said the car was registered to a film production company based at Ealing Studios in London.

His letter said: "I sincerely apologise for not having responded to the original notice of intended prosecution as the initial notice and further correspondence in regard to the speeding offence were delivered to Ealing Studios.

"I am, and have been, residing in the United States and therefore have not received or been aware of the information regarding this offence.

"The Range Rover was registered at the company address and therefore the correspondence was delivered there.

"I look forward to resolving this matter with the court's assistance and once again apologise for the lapse in correspondence due to the mishandling of address material by the production company at Ealing Studios."

Magistrates heard that Farrell did not have any other driving licence endorsements in the UK.

The Dublin-born actor was fined £60, ordered to pay £35 in costs and a £15 victim surcharge, and has been given three penalty points on his licence.

Farrell, whose latest film, the Oscar-nominated Crazy Heart, will reach UK cinemas next month, has been given 21 days to pay his fine.

The fixed speed camera on London Road was installed in 2005, although the road is notorious for its nose-to-tail traffic.
