Hollywood hunk Colin Farrell has opened up about his personal life admitting he’s happily single and in no rush to change his relationship status.
The Irish actor plays a single man desperate to get into a committed relationship or risk being transformed into an animal in his new film The Lobster however in real life, the unattached star is perfectly happy flying solo.
“In my life I’ve had relationships with women that weren’t in the public eye that have been pulled into the public eye as a result of the nonsense of celebrity and being close to me, and I hate that and I hated that for them,” he said.

“And so that would be just another thing that would lead into my reticence to being in a relationship.”
Speaking to the Associated Press, the 38-year-old Dubliner added that being in a relationship isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
“I have one friend who just broke up and he’s been in a relationship for six years, and before that he was married for 15 years, and he just broke up and our other shared friends who are in relationships are doggedly pursuing him — ‘I have this person you have to meet,'” he said.

“But I’m just like, ‘Just let him (rest.)’ And part of me goes, ‘Is that misery loves company?'”
