Colin Farrell Didn’t Sugarcoat His Past Behavior As He Recalled How He Once Annoyed Tom Cruise On 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.”
