Flasher Farrell: I liked heroin

Wildman actor Colin Farrell claimed he would calm down after the birth of his son, James, a year ago.

But it appears he is back to his foulmouthed worst, after confessing to a love of flashing and having tried heroin.

The 28-year-old star of Phone Booth and Minority Report became known as 'C**k Out Colin' on the set of Alexander, the historical epic filmed in Morocco earlier this year, for regularly revealing his crown jewels.

He said: 'I wore a dress for two months. The pockets were holes in the side, so I used to do the silly thing where I'd get my b******s outside.'

Asked about drugs, he said: 'I've smoked heroin a couple of times but I knew where it was going. It seemed pretty f***ing nice at the time. I've always been good to dip in, and dip in heavy, and then get the f**k out.'

The Dubliner told a US magazine that he first smoked cannabis at 15 and took ecstasy when he was 16. His early modelling jobs - including a TV ad in which he wore a G-string - were purely to earn money to buy drugs, he added.
