Colin Farrell: First Son 'James Saved My Life'

Colin Farrell: First Son 'James Saved My Life'

Colin Farrell takes the cover of Men’s Health UK‘s September 2012 issue, on newsstands now.

Here is what the 36-year-old Total Recall actor had to share with the mag:

On how becoming a father changed him: “What my first son James did was allow me to care for something in this world when I couldn’t care for myself. James saved my life.”

On his son picking up his bad habits: “I’m very aware of trying to be as judicious with my language as possible. I had my kid saying ‘sh*t, sh*t’ when he spilled something the other day. At least it was an appropriate use of the word.”

On his plans for the future: “I want to be as decent and supportive a dad and friend as I can be, and to travel the world like I used to with my mind, but now with my body. I want to be inspired by what I’m able to do. Because I’m a lucky b*stard.”
