Colin Farrell reveals the 'honest truth' about his dating life

Colin Farrell could probably be considered one of Hollywood’s most eligible bachelors, but the actor has admitted he hasn’t dated in years.

Farrell has two sons; James 11, and Henry, 5, and his focus has been on them as well as his career in recent years. He will appear alongside Vince Vaughn in the upcoming second season of HBO’s True Detective this summer.

He told Sunday Times about his non-existent love life, “I have not dated for, ooh, four years now. 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.”

Farrell went on to say it’s actually a “relief” to be a father, since he’s not so focused on himself all the time.

“It’s not all about you anymore, which is a relief. It’s about a bigger world, and helping them find their place in it,” he explained.

Farrell’s reputation as a Hollywood bad boy has died down in recent years and undoubtedly, fatherhood has something to do with that.

"It's not about ‘me, me, me, the loudmouth' any more—and that takes the pressure off me to live up to those old expectations,” he said.
