Heart-throb Farrell’s star continues to rise in Hollywood

LIFE just keeps getting better for Ireland’s new star in Hollywood, Colin Farrell, who this week presented an award at a glittering showbiz extravaganza in Tinseltown.

The Dublin heart-throb, who the critics have described as the new Brando, presented the prestigious European Film Award at the Hollywood Film Festival, which was attended by some of the best-known stars in the business.

Currently making $2 million a movie, the son of former Shamrock Rovers footballer Eamonn Farrell looks set to eclipse the success of other Irish Hollywood favourites like Liam Neeson, Pierce Brosnan and Gabriel Byrne.
