Yesterday, somebody was trying to tweet me suggestions for Hot Guy Friday, and she listed “Jude Law, Colin Barrel…” Which really should be Colin Farrell’s handle, right? We could call him Colin “Double Barrel” Farrell. It’s kind of perfect. Anyway, Colin is on today’s Ellen DeGeneres show, and he’s really trying to win us over. Like, he doesn’t want us to think that he’s out there, boning randoms whenever the urge strikes. Oh, Colin. I don’t believe you.
Despite his playboy reputation, Colin Farrell is a one-woman kind of guy. During a Friday appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the 34-year-old Horrible Bosses actor says he’s single — and he’s not exactly on the prowl, either.
“I was never much for dating,” he explains. “I was much for a few things, but I kind of usually went decent-ish amount of time.”
“So you’re a monogamous person?” host Ellen DeGeneres asks.
“Yeah?” Farrell, who has two sons from two different relationships, responds.
“That was a question,” DeGeneres, 53, laughs. “That was not an answer.”
“No, I think when I answer yes to something like that, I’m kind of shocked myself that I’m answering yes,” Farrell explains. “That’s why it was a question. I’m kind of like, ‘Colin do you really believe yourself?'”

The subtext: Colin isn’t even a good enough actor to pull off the monogamy line. I think Colin wants to believe it of himself: that he’s the kind of guy who is looking for a stable, monogamous relationship. And hey, maybe he is. Maybe he’s a serial monogamist who goes from one stable relationship to another. But I doubt it. I think that even though he’s sober and his life is on a much healthier track, Colin will still bone pretty much any girl, at any time. By the way, that’s why I’ve always kind of loved him too: realistically, I have a shot. He will bone anything, ergo, he will bone me. I have a shot with him for one night (or one hour, whatever).
In other Colin news, he’s signed on to work with his In Bruges director again, in the film Seven Psychopaths (horrible title, I hope they change it). He’ll be working with Sam Rockwell (yes!) and Christopher Walken. Also, you know how Colin is doing the Total Recall remake? Ethan Hawke just signed on too. Yay!
