Colin recently opened up about his past and what led him to check into rehab.

“I became a parody. Everything was magnified: the opportunities I had, the money I earned. So the smokescreen [I created] was magnified: it was the one true consistency I had. That was like a cancer after a while. If you build a dam, water becomes a bigger version of itself,” Colin expressed (via The Telegraph). “Then the dam broke, and I thought, ‘I don’t know who I am any more, what I’ve become.’ One of the most liberating days of my life was in rehab, when I realised how many fears I had. Was I smart or dumb? Was I a good lover, son, father, actor?”

FYI: Colin is wearing Dolce&Gabbana.
