I forgot to post this, this news is from a couple of weeks back and I found it VERY interesting. I also saw the show.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Forget playing Alexander the Great, Colin Farrell's greatest role has always been playing Romeo around Hollywood.

But with a shortage of ladies left to hit on, Colin must be finding it difficult to keep up his reputation. So he's turned to a slightly older model.

Seventy-year-old Dame Eileen Atkins, seen in Gosford Park and Cold Mountain, has revealed Colin tried it on with her on the set of their new film, Ask The Dust.


Coling Farrell and Dame Eileen Atkins

The veteran actress told ITV's Loose Woman how Colin went on a near three-hour crusade to seduce her - claiming he just wouldn't take no for an answer.

Dame Eileen didn't take him up on his offer but, when asked if she was tempted, she replied, "Of course I was!

"I said no in the end because he said, 'You won't do it because your body isn't as good as it was when you were young, isn't it?


Colin with his Alexander co-star Angelina Jolie - there were rumours of a fling

"He said, 'I don't care about that,' but that was why, because I'm too proud of how I looked when I was younger."

The Dame had initially refused to name Colin, referring to him only as a "stunningly gorgeous big film star, aged 28 years old".

But if she'd been trying to save Colin's embarrassment at being knocked back by an older woman, her agent put a stop to it and let Colin's name out of the bag.

Col's bedpost has been left like a toothpick after all the names he's had to notch into it.

Rumours are that Angelina Jolie, Britney Spears, Naomi Campbell, the list goes on have all fallen for his charms. However, Dame Eileen Atkins' is certainly one name he won't be carving in.

Yes, I heard that on the radio the other day. It made my day! There is still hope!

[Adriv]

Wow.... seventy years old??? Yikes! he´s running out of women?

[Catherine X]

Yes, I actually watched that episode of Loose Women while ill at home! I immediately went to IMDB and looked up men that Eileen had worked with. I could only come up with JRM who has worked with her, but I'm really not surprised it was Colin instead.

So anyway, if he's running out of women, why don't we Alexandrians go and find him?

And another thing: if Colin has 'a shortage of ladies', why doesn't somebody tell him about this website and all his devoted fans here? And while they are at it, tell Jared too They could meet Cindoo and Joanna in Italy, or everyone else in Pella. We could have a Colin and Jared Convention. But of course they would have to wear their Alexander outfits

Hi Ya'll. It's me LEAA. I just signed up today!!
This is my very first reply/comment!

I'm a little scared, not having ever done this before.
(Please be gentle with me.)

I have, however, for the last three hours, been reading all
the excellent conversation on this forum. I have, in some
cases, been laughing out loud and even a tear or two has been
shed. (Can I get more sappy?)

For some time now, I have been thrilled to see anything
Colin Farrell is even remotely connected to.
I was thinking I'm one of only a few (very intelligent
individuals, of course).
But, now I see there are more like me!!

"Hi, my name is LEAA and I am a ColinOHolic."

Guess what? I also have thought of Mr. Ledo quite often.
Ever since I saw him in "My So-Called Life" eons ago on MTV.
I've been watching that young man.
Beautiful, Beautiful eyes, mmm mmm...

Oh, sorry, I got side-tracked...

Back to Colin: O.K. don't freak out on me, but I still HAVE NOT
seen "Alexander". I know, sorry. Did anyone faint besides me?
I can't believe I said that out loud and in print! Ack!
I'm not sure where everyone is located, but I am guessing around the
world. For some crazy reason, I could not even find this movie
in any theater in my area. When I did finally figure out where it was
playing, it wasn't showing anymore. Played for a whole week.
Damn it all the Hell! (Yes, I stole that from Charleton Heston.)
Now, keep in mind, I'm from the U.S.A. extreme south.
Apparently, lots of folks only focused on one topic regarding
this movie. And we all know what that was.
(If you don't know what I'm talking about, let me know.)

So, when you all are discussing senior Colin's rear, I am very
jealous. Now, before everyone answers or emails, YES, I do
know that Alexander is now out on DVD. It's about damn time!!
Any other vitally important body parts I should be looking for
in Alexander or any of his other movies? Let me know.

Also, the fact that he may occasionally prefer a slightly older
woman, well damn! I'm not saying I'm alot older than him, but
I could certainly help him out in that area.

Anyway, are you all bored with me yet?
I'm just so thrilled to have found you!!!

Why do I feel this way about him? Well, I have put together
a list of, what I consider, his most valuable/appealing/sexy/
important/wonderful/fabulous.... (Oops, I'm gettin' carried
away again.)

Colin's ASSetts:
(This is just a small list, as there is not enough room
on this forum for everything. I'm sure you agree.)

REAL EMOTIONAL EYES (He says alot with them, without
uttering a word.) (I think I just swooned, yes definately
swooned.)

BEAUTIFUL DARK HAIR (Well, now here is something I am
very partial to. I really love men with dark hair and
light eyes. Not that Colin's eyes are very light brown.
But, sometimes in certain views and pictures of him, they
are such a soft golden brown. Again I say, mmm mmm.
Also, yes, I will go on record as saying that I absolutely
hate the way he looks with that blonde hair. I know, brutal,
but I must be honest. Especially, the photos of him in
which he is made to look very young. Page-boyish. Ug!)
(Actually, if he was standing in front of me, in person,
I could possibly change my mind.)

GORGEOUS THICK EYEBROWS (Oh my, I love the way his left one
is lower than his right. If you haven't noticed, which I doubt,
check it out.)

BEAUTIFUL BUTT (I know, that goes without saying. And, yes I already
said "ASSetts". I just wanted to make sure we were absolutely clear
on this subject. (Check him out in Recruit, in his nice black, underware.
When he is standing in the bathroom. Yousa!! ))

My favorite Film, without a doubt (well so far) has to be The Recruit.

Oh my gosh, ...

(I would just like to make a statement here that if I was allowed,
I would say something else besides "Oh my gosh". But, I don't
want to get in trouble or kicked out of here.)

...that part where he and Layla are standing in the parking garage
and then subsequently at her place, has got to be the sexiest
of him yet. When he says, "There is not enough time..." in
the parking lot and then when they are ripping each other
clothes off and he grabs her arms and throws them above
her head, oooh baby... I will probably have to buy a new
dvd because of that. Due to extreme wear. I'm surely not
the only one!

Also, in Recruit, when he is going through that horrible part
(I call it the "Dungeon" scene. He is just so pitiful and
you can tell he is just about to totally lose it. I love it when a
man can show his weak and vulnerable side! (And he does it
so well.) I just want to scoop him up and take him away.

To me, he looks so sexy when he has that dark/5 O'Clock shadow/
stubble/needs a shave thing going on. I especially like the photos I
have been seeing of him from New World. Now, don't get me wrong
here, I usually prefer a man with short hair. But in these photos, he
looks absolutely irresistable and hot!! Anybody know when that is
or has been slated to be in the theaters?

I'm hoping that you all will understand the need for me to do some
"Colin Venting". No one else understands the need to discuss
him at length, covering various topics of interest and
importance. Others just don't get it!

O.K. Well, it is near early morning here and I think I'm starting to get
Carpal Tunnel Syndrom from typing. Of course, if Colin was here
with me, I'm sure I could somehow work through the pain.
mmm mmm...

Did I do O.K.?? Write too much? Go on too long about Colin?
(Not Bloody Likely!! (Yeah, I stole that from Seinfeld. )
I'll be waiting to hear from ya'll (There's that southern again.)

[apelles]

WOW!! Epic post You are so lucky because you have Alexander to look forward to.Get the dvd, sit back,with the phone off the hook,a nice glass of wine and prepare to be blown away.Enjoy.
