Colin Farrell has checked into rehab for drug addiction and exhaustion.
The Irish hellraiser became addicted to prescription painkillers after being given them for a bad back.
He reportedly went into a treatment centre after collapsing at the wrap party of his new movie 'Miami Vice', on Sunday (11.12.05). Farrell's Los Angeles publicist, Danica Smith, said: 'Colin Farrell has checked himself into a treatment centre for exhaustion and a dependency to prescription medication which was prescribed to him for a back injury. 'No other comments will be made at this time.' A source is quoted in Britain's The Sun newspaper as saying: 'Colin faced his demons and decided to get clean.' The wild star is known for his love of women and partying. Last year, he confessed to a magazine that he had even smoked heroin. He admitted: 'For some reason, it seemed pretty f*****g nice at the time. There was nothing I wouldn't have f*****g done. Whatever was around.'Copyright 2005 BANG Media International
