Colin Farrell is surprised he still gets acting jobs

Colin Farrell is surprised he still gets acting jobs.

The 'Total Recall' star, who got his break with sci-fi hit 'Minority Report' in 2002, later spiralled out of control and ended up having to go into rehab for drug abuse in 2005.

Colin told Britain's Men's Health magazine: 'I had burned so many bridges in the film industry that I couldn't get a f**king meeting. But now I'm just enjoying life...

'One of the big things I was drawn to about drugs was the ritual.'

The 36-year-old actor confessed that although he likes to party, makes sure he fills himself with nutrients the rest of the time.

He said: 'I don't put the same level of energy into healthy living as I did into unhealthy living but I eat really well, drink loads of green tea and take a load of vitamins.'

Although his less harmful lifestyle is beneficial to his career, Colin is somewhat disappointed that his life turned out so simple.

He added: 'It's so boring... life has mutated to take on this sweet simplicity that I am really f**king OK with.'
