It is safe to say that Colin Farrell is one of the hottest actors, men, and definitely dads to come out of our fair Emerald Isle.

So, what better way to honour Father’s Day weekend than by hearing from the man himself.

The 39-year-old has two sons, James who is 12, and Henry who is 4-years-old. When asked what it means to be a father, Colin gave a seriously emotional response.

“It’s incredibly complicated, I find it, to be a father because I have no idea what I’m doing,” the new face of Dolce & Gabbana’s Intenso revealed in an interview with the brand.

“I haven’t read any books but I know that if I did they would just confound me even more,” he admitted.

“It can be a terrifying thing – but also there’s a great liberation in being a father… Because for the first time you are not the most important thing in your world. For the first time in your life you really have an understanding of what it is to love unconditionally. And it’s a pretty extraordinary gift.”

We just have dust in our eyes, we swear!

The True Detective star had his first child with American model Kim Bordenave in 2003. Mr Farrell fathered his second child, Henry, with actress Alicja Bachleda-Curus, but their relationship ended in 2010.
