Hollywood A-lister Colin Farrell has opened up about his sobriety.
The Dublin heartthrob has spoken openly over the years about his battles with alcohol and drug addiction, but nowadays he said he feels “mad lucky”.
Farrell has lived in Los Angeles for almost 17 years, and while he has made his life there, he admits Ireland will always be “home”. L.A. means more to me than I thought this city ever would.

"But when I go home, it makes sense to me in a way that no other place would have the business making sense to me. If I’m in Los Angeles and I say, “I’m going home,” I drop it about two octaves. That place is deeper in me,” he said.
Speaking to Jamie Lee Curtis for Variety about their sobriety and their legacies, Farrell said he had a “suspicion” before he was sober of how “painful life could be”.
“But I had no ability to hold that without being self-destructive and without living in it. I don’t live in that now. I feel these things that we’re talking about, at times.
"And I consider life greatly at times. And other times, I’m as frivolous as I was when I was 6 years old on a good day,” he added.
