“Who Did I Think I Was?”: Colin Farrell Is Being Praised For Not “Sugarcoating” His Past Behavior As He Revealed How He Once Left Tom Cruise Annoyed On A Movie Set

The Irish actor revealed in a 2008 interview that he’d struggled with alcohol and substance misuse since he was 14. “I was very drunk or high for about 16 years; it was a tough life change. But I was dying, and I’m one of the lucky ones,” he said.

Colin first entered rehab in 2005, and while he’s been sober since 2006, he checked himself into a rehab facility in 2018 as a “preemptive measure.”
