A New Man: Colin Farrell Stops Smoking And Starts Working Out

While Colin Farrell still LOOKS like the same Hollywood hottie we've known since he hit the movie mainstream in 2002, he SOUNDS like a completely new man.

In an interview in August's issue of InStyle magazine, the actor shares he's finally stopped smoking (Yay!) and started working out!

We're SO happy to hear Colin has decided to adopt a healthier lifestyle because that means his hotness will be around for years and years to come! The former 40-cigarette-a-day smoker discussed his decision to quit with the style mag by saying:

"It was time. I was a 40-cigarette-a-day smoker, but I wasn’t enjoying it. So on my 34th birthday last year, I spent a day with a pack and consciously looked at every single puff until I smoked the last one at 11:55 that night. I did a whole ritual thing by writing a letter to tobacco, giving it as much significance as I possibly could. I’m done with it."

We didn't think it was possible, but this man just became even MORE attractive now that his lungs are smoke free. He's even opened his mind about exercise too.

Farrell, who once said his only source of nutrition was the Carlsberg Beer Company, admitted he's become a bit of a "flip-flopper", sharing:

"I've gone completely to the other extreme. I don't get a release of seratonin anymore by filling my body with alcohol and drugs and communing with people late into the night at Chateau Marmont, bon vivant that I once was. I take vitamins and supplements, and I'm LOVING working out now. I'm a complete flip-flopper!"

Colin Farrell can currently be seen in theaters being a horrible person in the comedy Horrible Bosses. As the summer continues, the actor will go from horrible to evil when he appears as the seksi vampire next door (trying to kill your girlfriend) in Fright Night.

Being scared never felt so good! Ha!
