T.i. explain a lot: Irish actor Colin Farrell is opening up and talking about his 6-week stint in rehab and how it finally cleaned him up after half a lifetime of hard partying.
"Basically, I'd been fairly drunk or high since I was 14. I was very drunk and high for 16 years, so it was a tough life change, and I was dying. I'm one of the lucky ones."
Going on the British program, Friday Night With Jonathan Ross, the 32-year-old actor revealed that he checked himself into a six-week program in 2005 after completing filming on Miami Vice, saying, "I was just done."
Farrell admits making such a drastic change in his life was a struggle but he was at an end otherwise. "For me, there was no choice really to be honest with you. I was pretty sick."
He adds, "At the beginning it was really hard. I began to burrow myself out of the haze that I had buried myself in so deeply.
"I was struggling to keep my s**t together a lot of the time. A lot of my energy was spent trying not to have a complete meltdown."
