Home-cooking is Hard to Resist: Colin Farrell Admits he Eats “Sh*te” When He’s in Ireland

There’s nothing like a bit of home-cooking every now and then. In fact, here in the Her.ie offices there’s nothing we love more than a good old Mammy-dinner (you know the kind of feed we’re talking about here!).

Unfortunately for Colin Farrell, the awesomeness that is Irish food is playing absolute havoc with his generally healthy diet.

The Irish Daily Star reports that the actor has confessed his healthy L.A. diet is completely thrown out the window every time he comes home to Dublin.

The reformed-bad-boy-turned-health-fanatic has confessed that he eats nothing but “sh*te” every time he’s at home.

“I’ll go home to Dublin and I’ll eat absolute sh*te,” said Colin.

“Kebabs, fish and chips, lashings of butter on bread…nonsense stuff that you should be eating once a month when you’re six years old if you’re lucky – not a fully grown man who’s bingeing,” he added.

But the good news is that a change in scenery is all Colin needs to get back on the straight and narrow (is he dedicated or what?). As soon as Colin touches down in L.A., he can usually get back into his healthy lifestyle without a hitch.

“I mix it up. I live in extremes. I’ll do that then I’ll come back and clean my system out,” he said.

Colin has also admitted that as part of his new healthy lifestyle, he’s learned to love going to the gym and working out.

“I love the gym. I do now. I don’t love running on the treadmill but I kind of like the feeling after. So it’s worth it. I like the ritual of going to the gym,” he added.

Maybe, instead of working in films, Colin should just become a personal trainer? We have a feeling that we’d enjoy our workouts a hell of a lot more if they involved staring at Colin Farrell for forty minutes at a time…
