What has happened to Colin Farrell?
The UK tab Daily Mail recently spotted a man they claim is Colin Farrell looking like a ghost of his former self:
"The emaciated 32-year-old was snapped during a night out in Spain at the weekend. It was impossible to miss his hollow cheeks, sunken chest and stick-thin legs as he puffed away on a cigarette. There was speculation that Farrell had shed weight because of the demands of the film he is currently shooting in the southern Spanish city of Alicante. He is starring alongside Spanish actress Paz Vega and British film veteran Christopher Lee in a thriller entitled Triage. It tells the story of a war photographer who loses his best friend during a harrowing assignment in war-torn Bosnia during the early 1990s."
Other recent shots show him looking thin but with some sort of belly.
Let's hope it's all for the movie role.

@ PAUL

Thanks for setting the record straight. The effects of hardcore meth use has many variables. But they are mostly devastating. And it could take between hours, days or months or years, depending upon the person who's using.
And more and more I'm convinced that whoever that is in the picture looks like they may be dealing a combination meth/crank abuse coupled with some sort of HIV issues.
And for the record, I'm not a doctor, so this is only my opinion based on my own life experiences and from working closely with MSM, case management and HIV outreach.

if that is Colin Farrell on the right, it would indeed seem to be the work of meth. if you were unfortunate enough to see that skeevie sex tape, it absolutely looked like absolute desperado PNP. and in recent interviews he has come across very much like a junkie.
a genuine shame, as he was hotter than hot.

Mike, go to google and type in colin farrell and you will find it.
DW314....your Meth use apparently left you with a huge desire to use caps in your posts as well.
Farrell is supposedly clean and sober.....but somehow I doubt that.

Why does everyone who does meth party non-stop until they practically die? When I did it, I was responsible, made myself sleep (albeit by taking something), made myself eat, took tons of vitamins, and drank gallons of water. I didn't have unsafe sex, and was into mainly for the energy it gave me.
I didn't need to lose weight, so it didn't make me lose weight. I know it's an evil drug, but if you're smarter than than your ego and the need to self-destruct, you can overcome it. I wouldn't do it again, and am glad it's in the past, but actually some prescription meds are much worse (xanax).

I think he looks sexy. He was really getting chuncky. Now he just needs to shave and do some waxing.

He's the sexiest guy on the planet. This gaunt new look is indeed for his latest project. I hoe he's doing it in a healthy way and can't wait for him to get back to normal. I've seen him 2x in person and he has a sensuality that transcends his looks. My fave stud.

Chad, because they suffer from the disease of ADDICTION. With regards to your own reckless drug use (mixing drugs), please consider yourself very lucky.

Thanks Joshua.

I hope that isn't Colin on the right. Whoever the poor soul is he looks as if he's wasting away from the Mass of St. Secaire. Send up a prayer for him!
