Farrell on Fatherhood - AccessHollywood
- Thanks Kathryn
Colin Farrell's film Phone Booth opened in theaters on April 4.
It's the first movie he is carrying all by himself. Access
Hollywood's Billy Bush sat down in New York for an interview with
the Irish bad boy. Hollywood's wildest bachelor talked about his
impending fatherhood.
Billy Bush: You're going to be a father. Does your life change?
Colin Farrell: I'll tell you in six months.
Billy: Do you envision yourself going out and having fun and
doing what you want?
Colin: Yeah, yeah… I'm going to be working as well and
fortunately I'm having a child with an amazing woman. We're going
to figure it out as we go. We will bring the child up in love and
make sure it's as safe as it can possibly be. That's the only
thing I'm sure of in me 26 years.
Billy: It's very respectable. I don't know if you give yourself
that kind of credit, but we've heard stories of someone getting
news like that and as a 26-year-old you might run, hide, or deny.
Colin: There were some very, very interesting suggestions and
possibilities that were offered up and how it should be dealt
with.
Billy: Can you give me one of them?
Colin: You can guess.
Billy: What was your first reaction to the news?
Colin: I just knew I wanted to have it. I was f****** smiling
from ear-to-ear. It's nerve racking for sure. Jesus Christ, me,
I'm a big f****** child myself, man. I'm a mess half the time,
myself. I'm the luckiest little bastard in the world. F*** all
these red carpets and premieres and s***, I'm bringing a child
into the world.
Billy: Here's the scenario: the baby you're having is a girl,
it's 24 years from now...
Colin: Ooh s***!
Billy: She comes to you and says, 'Dad, I'm pregnant. The
father smokes, he loves to drink, he loves to party, he's a wild
man, he loves the ladies and I'm not marrying him. What do you
say?
Colin: I put my arms around her and tell her I love her and
that it's all going to be fine.
