Farrell staying away from women

Colin Farrell has sworn off women following his split with writer Emma Forrest last month.

The reformed bad boy has been linked to a number of A-list women, including Britney Spears, Paris Hilton and Angelina Jolie.

But now he's planning a period of celibacy.

Rather than use his break-up with Forrest as an excuse to revert back to his womanising ways, the 'Alexander' star has declared he's staying away from women to focus on his career, telling pals, "I've had enough of women."

A friend of the actor told the Daily Star on Sunday: "He has a whole new outlook on life. As far as he is concerned he finally has the right work/life balance. And, for once, that doesn't include women."

Farrell, 32, is currently filming 'The Way Back' in Bulgaria.
