Colin Farrell - © Lee Roth / RothStock / PR PhotosThe 'Phone Booth' actor developed a taste for alcohol in his early teens and admits he needed to quit before he got seriously ill.He said: "I'd been drinking since I was 14. I was pretty sick. At the beginning of recovery I found it really hard. "For me there was no choice. It was tough but I was dying. I was struggling not to have a complete meltdown. I was just gone. I'm glad I'm out of that cycle, I'm very lucky."The 32-year-old star also insists he was serious when he propositioned 73-year-old actress Dame Eileen Atkins for sex three years ago - and has vowed to try and seduce her again.He added: "The one that got away! I gave it all that I was worth. She's an incredibly attractive woman, wicked. I fell at the first hurdle, my ego couldn't take any more refusals. I saw her in New York and said our time will come. It's unfinished business!"
