Colin Farrell is trying celibacy, he’s tried everything else


Colin Farrell has had enough. Like a glutton who bottomed out in a bowl of ice cream, Colin is swearing off women. How many was finally “enough” for the Irish hottie? God knows. My estimates would put the number in the four-digit range.

Colin broke up with journalist Emma Forrest last month, after a year-long relationship. The rumor was that Emma might have broken it off with Colin, but perhaps Colin just had enough. Last week the rumor came out that Keira Knightley was helping him through his heartbreak, but she was just seen out in Berlin with her boyfriend, Rupert Friend. Contact Music has more:

Hollywood lothario Colin Farrell has sworn off women following his split with writer Emma Forrest last month (Feb09).

The Irish charmer and reformed bad boy has been linked to a number of A-list women, including Britney Spears, Paris Hilton and Angelina Jolie.

But now he’s planning a period of celibacy.

Rather than use his break-up with Forrest as an excuse to revert back to his womanising ways, the Alexander star has declared he’s staying away from women to focus on his career, telling pals, “I’ve had enough of women.”

A friend of the actor tells British tabloid the Daily Star on Sunday, “He has a whole new outlook on life. As far as he is concerned he finally has the right work/life balance. And, for once, that doesn’t include women.”

Farrell, 32, is currently filming The Way Back in Bulgaria.

Concerned with “the right work/life balance”? I believe this is called maturity. This is called “not being in your twenties anymore”. This is called “not buying every girl in the bar a drink and then taking them all back to your hotel room for a drunken orgy”. I applaud Colin’s new-found maturity and outlook on life. Perhaps when he comes out of his self-imposed vagina-exile, he will be a better man, a man more willing to be in a serious, committed relationship. But I’ll still miss the old womanizer a little bit.

    Yea, he is looking less hot every day and I thought he was hot years ago

  3. RAN says:

    Agree… he’s far from cute… maybe it’s a survival tactic so he’s not embarrassed in public by rejection..?

    Well put together article – I like how the ‘tie in’ was made between the Kiera Knightly post and this post. It keeps the integrity of the old gossip and new gossip intact.

    Celibacy normally doesn’t work, but the people who I’ve always heard try it are either virgins, or have barely had sex.

    Maybe since this is someone who has known nothing BUT sex, he can actually stay celibate for a little while…

    Dr Oz is promoting sex for heart health… Colin I want you to live a long life – forget the celibacy thingy. Besides giving up all your addictions at once must be crushing.
