So-called "Hollywood bad boy" Colin Farrell has revealed that he saw a psychiatrist for six months around age 18, because drinking and drugging had left him depressed. The headshrinker, despite a valiant effort, was unfortunately unable to do anything to reign in Farrell's colossal ego.
The star of the newly released flop, Alexander, says in an interview with Britain's Sunday Times Magazine: "I wrote down everything that I did, every drink that I had, every other thing, and he just went, 'You're wondering why you're depressed – have you read your shopping list?'"
Farrell believes the psychiatrist helped because he made him realise how self-destructive he was. However, this has not stopped the Irish actor from drinking, drugging, and making illegitmate babies in recent years.
