Colin Farell turns Santa for sick children

London: Colin Farell seems to have put his wild days firmly behind him as he spent his Christmas holiday bringing toys to sick children in a hospital.

The dad-of-two who used to grab headlines with his rehab stints and numerous romantic liaisons played Santa to the little ones at Our Lady`s Children`s Hospital in his hometown of Dublin, Ireland, handing out presents, reported Contactmusic. "Farrell has made several visits to the centre in previous years, adding. He keeps a low profile when he comes in. He doesn`t want photographers or anything," said a source in the hospital. "He has bought (video game consoles) Nintendo DS and Wiis for them and plays with them for hours. He`s really popular with the staff and really genuine, and the kids really love and appreciate his visit," added the source. The 33-year-old actor and girlfriend Alicja Bachleda welcomed a baby boy, Henry Tadeusz Farrell, in October this year. Henry is the second child for Farrell, who has a 6-year-old son, James, with model Kim Bordenave. PTI
