Colin Farrell turns on charm for home fans

You can take an Irish lad out of the country but you can’t take away his charm — something Hollywood actor and proud Dubliner Colin Farrell is a constant testament to.

With a twinkle in his eye, the A-lister, who was born and bred in Castleknock, delighted fans in his home county yesterday as he winked and smiled and chatted his way down the red carpet, attending the premier of his new film The Lobster.

Hundreds gathered outside the Light House cinema to get a glimpse of the star, with a lucky few managing to blag autographs and steal selfies with him.
