Mini Me: Colin and James Farrell

LilSugar — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 09:00:08 PDT

Ladies' man Colin Farrell may have women swooning, but it's clear his priority is his lil boy. The actor's son James, who turns five this month, has his father's fine facial features. The duo shares similar bone structure, pursed lips, defined noses, inquisitive expressions and of course, that signature twinkle in the eye. We bet the boy will also inherit his daddy's heart - it was recently announced that Colin and fellow fathers, Jude Law and Johnny Depp, donated their salaries from The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus to Matilda Ledger.

Colin Farrell Opens and Softens Up

PopSugar — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 15:32:18 PDT

Colin once had a reputation as a partying bad boy, but now this sobered up lad has shown his sweet side. Last month we heard how generous Colin is when he took a homeless man on a shopping spree, and now he is talking for the first time about his 4-year-old son James, revealing that he was born with a rare form of cerebral palsy called Angelman Syndrome. Colin shows what a doting dad he is and how much he adores his son just the way he is. He said,

”With my son the only time I'm reminded that there is something different about him – that he has some deviation of what is perceived to be normal – is when I see him with other four-year-olds. Then I go “oh yeah” and it comes back to me. But from day one I felt that he's the way he's meant to be.... He took his first steps about six weeks ago and it was four years in the making. All the work is his, he worked his arse off for four years.”

Colin Farrell Is A Reformed Bad Boy

Molly — Mon, 09 Jul 2007 08:00:32 PDT

Colin Farrell looked pretty freaking adorable with his son James at LAX last week. Fine, Colin himself isn't looking his best in that fedora (though I do appreciate a little scruff), but it doesn't sound like it's bothering his new lady friend. The actor has been dating Muireann McDonnell, a 22-year-old student from Dublin, for at least six months and the two spent a romantic weekend in Vegas last week, avoiding the nightclubs entirely. Sounds like notorious Colin is reformed after all. Must be love. Wink.

Natalie, Colin, Christian, and Melissa Win Big at the Star-Studded Oscars!

Allie Merriam — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 14:56:06 PST

James Franco and Anne Hathaway kicked off the Oscars with a pre-recorded tour through the year's best film nominees, then they took the stage for a few live jokes. Their families even got in the act, with Anne's mother standing up in the crowd to tell her to stand up straight, and James's occasionally foul-mouthed grandmother expressing her excitement at "seeing Marky Mark!" Tom Hanks was on hand to announce a few early winners, then Kirk Douglas presented the best actress in a supporting role honor to a truly surprised Melissa Leo. Her speech was heartfelt after a grueling award season, though she caused the censors some alarm by uttering the F-word. She later, though, apologized profusely for the slipup. Don't miss all our press room updates including Natalie Portman talking about her baby!

Justin Timberlake and best-dressed Mila Kunis announced the animated awards before Javier Bardem and Josh Brolin stepped out in matching white jackets to present Aaron Sorkin with best adapted screenplay for The Social Network and further writing honors to the man behind The King's Speech. Anne Hathaway ditched her dress for a pantsuit to joke with Hugh Jackman during a musical number, and James Franco dressed as Marilyn Monroe, pink gown, blond hair and all, to introduce Helen Mirren and Russell Brand. A stunning Giorgio Armani clad Reese Witherspoon stepped out to open the envelope containing the name of the best actor in a supporting role winner - Christian Bale won for his role in The Fighter, and after giving a shout-out to the real-life Dicky Ecklund, he teared up when telling his wife she's his mast in the storm of his life. Fellow Australians Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman were up next as presenters, followed by Scarlett Johansson and Matthew McConaughey handing out the best sound mixing honors. Anne enjoyed many costume changes and wore seven glamorous gowns, everything from Valentino to Lanvin, and weigh in on which was her best!

Mandy Moore was soon on stage, having changed from her gold Monique Lhuillier into a strapless blue number, to perform a track from Tangled nominated for best original song with her costar Zachary Levi - Gwyneth Paltrow later sang a number from Country Strong, but Randy Newman ended up taking honors for his music in Toy Story 3. Amy Adams and Jake Gyllenhaal teamed up to present the best short honors before the much-anticipated Twilight moment, which was an auto-tuning the movies and our favorite Twilight stars. Sherlock Holmes buddies Jude Law and Robert Downey Jr. joked about RDJ's checkered past together on stage, then Celine Dion took the stage to sing during the "In Memoriam" montage.

Subtle sparkling Halle Berry had the microphone afterward to say a special tribute to legendary actress Lena Horne. The big awards came quickly next, with Tom Hooper clinching directing honors for The King's Speech and mentioning that he shares "a triangle of man love" with his stars Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush. Jeff Bridges presented Natalie Portman with her best actress statue, and the Black Swan star tearfully thanked her "love" Benjamin Millepied for giving her the best role yet - becoming a mother. Sandra Bullock handed off the best actor gold man to Colin Firth, who managed to repress his urge to dance long enough to get out his words of thanks. Love for his movie kept coming, as it even picked up the best picture! This was another great night for Hollywood and a year of film - make sure to catch up on all our coverage from the press room, fashion and beauty news, and stay tuned for all the action from the afterparties!

Zach Galifianakis Says Making Puss in Boots Made Him Feel "Like a Kid"

Shannon Vestal — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 05:30:00 PDT

Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek may be the focus of this week's animated release, Puss in Boots, but their feline characters spend much of the movie being upstaged by an egg. It's because that egg is Zach Galifianakis - the comedian voices Humpty Dumpty in the Shrek spin-off. I caught up with Galifianakis recently to talk about the great experience he had working on the film, why it made him feel like a kid, and his role in another highly anticipated film, The Muppets.

BuzzSugar: You don't do voice work on animated films that often. Why did you pick this movie?
Zach Galifianakis: They asked me to do it. For years nobody asked me to do anything, so I'm still in that kind of honeymoon phase where I'm like "Yeah!" When they asked me to do it, I watched the Shrek movies [because] I hadn't seen them before. I got really excited about it, I thought that the Shrek movies were really cute. I'm not a big animated movie person either. I don't really gravitate toward animated things, especially a movie. But they asked me to be a part of it, and in the first couple of times I [recorded], my confidence wasn't that great, but I have to say: It's so much fun. So fun to do. I wish everybody could get a chance to do it. It's so fun. Every time I was recording, I was in the best mood. I'm as cynical as they get, and I always roll my eyes at this business, but I gotta tell you, I felt like a kid. I loved it. I really did.

Buzz: Did you ever get to meet the other actors you were recording with?
ZG: [Joking] The courts asked me to stay away from all the other actors. No, I met all the other actors today. I hadn't met any of them. First time.

Horrible Bosses

In this dark comedy, Jason Bateman, Charlie Day, and Jason Sudeikis star as three friends who are fed up with their respective bosses and hatch a plan to kill them. The evil employers are devilishly good, with Jennifer Aniston playing against type as a filthy-mouthed dentist, Colin Farrell as a balding, drug-addict loser, and Kevin Spacey as a villainous CEO. The very funny ensemble cast is made even better thanks to a great script. The extras on the DVD include deleted scenes and a few making-of featurettes.

Green Lantern

Ryan Reynolds dons a CG green suit to play superhero Green Lantern, the alter ego of pilot Hal Jordan. When Hal intercepts a crashed alien craft and receives a special ring, he becomes part of the Green Lantern Corps and fights intergalactic villain Parallax and scientist Hector Hammond (Peter Sarsgaard). He also finds time to romance fellow pilot Carol Ferris (Blake Lively). While it's not the standout superhero film of the year, Reynolds is a charming lead. DVD extras include additional scenes, featurettes, an extended cut, and a preview for Green Lantern: The Animated Series.
