Now sober: Irishman Colin Farrell - © Lee Roth / RothStock / PR PhotosThe 32-year-old actor - who recently revealed he has recovered from his alcohol and drug addictions - feels uncomfortable when he is pitied.He said: "Don't feel sorry for me. I mean, at the end of the day, the smallest violin wouldn't or shouldn't play for me because I had a lot of fun and a lot of good times. "I hate to go on about it but I was just lucky enough with support from various people find a way out. I'm very grateful."Colin also revealed his life has completely changed since he stopped relying on drink and illegal substances.He added to US TV talk show host Ellen DeGeneres: "It has been a massive life change for me - someone who was drunk for 15 years, high for a good few as well. I just cut that out of my life. "It took a while. It's not a very comfortable place to be in after you've been out of your mind for a good while."
