At the beginning of his career, the "Total Recall" actor was considered one of Hollywood's to bad boys, but now that's he's a father of two, Colin Farrell's dating life is not even the shadow of what it once was, having been outside the dating world for a full four years.
In the past, Colin Farrell's dating life was the subject of constant media speculation, as about 10 years ago it seemed like he was going out with some of the most beautiful and talented women in show business, including pop star Britney Spears, Demi Moore and even Oscar-winning actress and Brad Pitt's current wife Angelina Jolie, who worked with Farrell in Oliver Stone's epic "Alexander" along with Jared Leto.
These days, Colin Farrell's dating speed was decreased considerably, according to E! Online, as the new "True Detective" star has confessed that, between work and taking care of his two sons, he doesn't have time to go on dates anymore.
The Daily Mail reports that the amazing Colin Farrell dating confession came during a recent interview with the British paper Sunday Times, as he said that not only he was currently too busy to go out with new women, but he had also basically lost interest in the chase.
Considering how heavily crowded Colin Farrell's dating past is (even reportedly involving two-time Oscar winner and Hollywood Golden Age legend Elizabeth Taylor before her death), there's little surprise to see that the actor's taking some alone time now.
"I have not dated for, ooh, four years now," the actor said, according to The New York Post's Page Six. "It's just not happening, what with the work, the kids and my life. I know it's not what people expect to hear, but that's the honest truth."
Now that Colin Farrell's dating life has calmed down, he pours all his heart into his work - including "True Detective"!
