Colin: 'chuffed' to be a dad

Hollywood star Colin Farrell says he is "chuffed" that he will become a father later this year.

The Irish actor - soon to be seen opposite Al Pacino in The Recruit - was reported to have had a liaison with a model, but her name has not been revealed.

Farrell told ITV1's This Morning in an interview to be screened today: "Yes it's true - I am going to be a dad."

The actor has built up a reputation as a hellraiser since finding fame in the US, after graduating from TV's Ballykissangel.

For instance, he has boasted about a string of one night stands.

And he recently accompanied Britney Spears on a night out.

Farrell, who starred in Daredevil and Minority Report, told This Morning: "It's cool. I'm chuffed, so over the moon. [The baby is] due in about six months."
