All you need to know about the family of Colin Farrell, Irish actor turned Hollywood star

In 2002, hunky Irish actor Colin James Farrell emerged as one of Hollywood’s most-sought-after lead actor after appearing in Steven Spielberg’s Minority Report (2002). Over the next year, he was in a string of other major feature films and was even referred to as the ‘man who stole the movies’.

Date of Birth: May 31, 1976

Zodiac Sign: Gemini

Colin’s story wouldn’t be complete without the input of his only brother Eamonn. The older Farrell became a director of a Dublin performing arts academy for youths and succeeded in talking his brother into taking an acting class. The Recruit (2003) actor agreed and that was how he landed his first television commercial within a short while.

He got a few more jobs then found his way to London to further his career. Farrell appeared in a stage play which Kevin Spacey saw and was highly impressed by his talent. Spacey cast Farrell in his gangster flick Ordinary Decent Criminal (2000) and made the necessary call backs that launched the handsome talent into Hollywood. Keep reading as we bring you details about the people Farrell calls family.

    worth noting that for at least 15 years, Claudine has been Colin’s professional assistant and occasional manager. I think she started with The Recruit
