Here are some new photos of Colin Farrell in New York City yesterday, where he seemed to be filming Winter’s Tale in… the Hudson, maybe? Maybe some kind of barge? Whatever. Winter’s Tale is that film that seems to be, like, “a modern fairy tale”. I think Russell Crowe plays the bad guy and Jessica Brown Findlay (Lady Sybil from Downton Abbey) is the girl/princess or something.

Really I’m just writing about these photos because I was startled by Colin’s hair. I didn’t realize he had shaved the sides of his head and he had some long hair up top. Maybe it’s just my generation, but this is a surprisingly familiar look to me. When I was 13-15 years old, many guys had this haircut. Specifically, most of the skaters and “punk” kids had this hair. Basically, the first five guys I ever made out with had hair exactly like this. What is about Colin Farrell that always makes me think of my sexual past? I think it’s because I boned a guy who looked like a weasel-y version of Colin when I was in college.

Other Colin news… he recently signed on to costar with Anthony Hopkins in a “supernatural thriller” called Solace. The gist? “An FBI detective seeks the help of a retired and reclusive doctor, to try and solve a series of grisly murders. The doctor was a wiz at the murder game, but lost his mojo when his daughter died tragically. Desperate, the detective presses the doctor to come out of retirement for one more case. Farrell will play the serial killer, putting him mano a mano against Hopkins. They’ve yet to cast the detective.” Haha – I thought Colin was going to be the FBI guy. Not with that hair!!
