WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE WORLD OF FARRELL THESE DAYS?!

Alicja Bachleda-Curus is certainly well and truly now putting her 'bikini' body on the map in Hollywood.  The beach photos of the new mother flaunting her post baby body in Mexico however, do appear to be sending out mixed messages if you read the various articles now posted all over the net.  Some seem in awe of her ability to lose her baby weight with such speed, some suggest surgery has taken place, others that a strict diet and exercise plan has been endured, while others believe newborn baby Henry, may have been premature, and so this must be the reason for her getting her figure back so quickly.

Whatever the reason for Alicja successfully managing to regain her figure... for her, for Colin, for work, or from sheer exhaustion... and it is exactly here, that those fabulous beach babe pics start to lose the wow factor.  Reading the 'headlines' and between the lines of all these articles (including mine), there brews a disturbing underlying cause for concern.  As in that uncomfortable feeling of disbelief along with an uncomprehended feeling of awkwardness.  In other words: how can a new mother who gave birth as so many have clearly stated, "JUST" seven weeks ago: want, and warrant what is rapidly becoming seen as a 'romantic' vacation... whether in Mexico, or indeed on the moon?! 
 

However, having said that, we of course don't actually know if the new parents do have the company of their newly seven week old son, and they are in no way prepared to declare one way, or the other, to us.  Why should they... they haven't felt the need to share him with the world so far?  And I think we could all reasonably understand and respect their wishes for wanting such privacy.  We may not have liked it, surely felt a little put out that they didn't want to involve us, but ultimately, we did 'understand'... but then... 'Hello Mexico'?!  No obvious, or even hinted signs of a baby in transit, and thus immediately giving the 'impression' of being 'just the two of us'.  Just the two of us with our new camera playing I spy with ourselves... just the two of us on the balcony in various states of undress... and now on the beach keeping it clearly discreet and private?!  Yes... evidently the much needed privacy to be left alone to enjoy those first precious months with your new bundle of baby joy has somehow, strangely lost it's credence.
 

I know Hollywood stars such as Colin Farrell have the right to their own life and one with privacy is and should be allowed too, but, and although 'he' may wish it to be meaningless, but, 'but' is in fact rather significant, for example if you make your living out of being in the public-eye then should you perhaps not also respect the 'right' of your public, or at the very least appear to be seen, or extending some degree of higher moral courtesy to those lessor mere mortals called fans?  You remember, yes those people who actually made it possible for you to be in the position you are, and in a career you once so yearned for and now find yourself...  as well as indeed one your good lady mama is also wishing to share and find a position of her own.  

I am a fan of Colin Farrell the actor, and I will, I suspect remain so for as long as he continues to want to be in front of a camera.  However, as a fan I also bought into the whole 'image persona' that was marketed as 'Colin Farrell', and that he encouraged, wanted, needed and completely courted us with in order to make it as an actor. He made it to Hollywood: we followed.  He had some massive ups, and then some costly downs: we stood by him.  And so now we have newly, reformed Colin: we have remained faithful... but has he?

Yes, we know Colin no longer wants us to regard him as the 'big' Hollywood actor that he once craved, however, he is still an actor is he not?  He still makes films, and if no-one at all went to see those films then what would be the point in him acting any more?  So we continue to stick to him like super glue, much to his ever growing discord it feels like nowadays.  So Colin does not 'need', or 'want' us any more... except of course until his next film premiere.  And his 'private life' he will now guard with balls of steel... except until he, or anyone who is his, needs a little exposure to gets things kick started in order to let the world know you're available for work.

Quite why, Colin has become so 'anti' fan these days is beyond me... he always claimed he was grateful to his fans, jestingly lapped it up, and more importantly genuinely appeared to appreciate the adulation, voiced his humbled acknowledgement at the privileges that came his way through the mega bucks and glittery trappings of fame, and accordingly expressed his thanks for being able to live in such a relatively safe environment, be a financially viable candidate, and enjoy the security of luxury that his career has allowed him.  So why he has now decided to enter into a withdrawal from the very ones who want nothing but good things for him, is as I say, beyond me.

There are a few sayings that comes to mind: Be careful what you wish for... it may come true.  Along with 'Don't bite the hand that feeds you' and finally... 'I don't recognise you, I've changed a lot'!
