COLIN Farrell has spoken out about his former wild ways saying that he was ‘terrified’ of making love sober.
The 37-year-old Irish actor - who is interviewed in this Wednesday's Irish Post - has a history of wooing women but said that his first fling after going clean left him petrified.
Speaking to Elle, Farrell said: ''I worried I wouldn't be able to talk, full stop. I hadn't uttered a word sober in about 15 years... I made love to a woman about two and a half years after I got clean, and it was one of the most terrifying moments of my life.
''It was in the afternoon. The windows and the curtains were open. It was lovely, and, to be crass, it wasn't f**king.
''She was very gentle. But it was terrifying. Because I was just used to drunkenness and dark rooms and clubs and toilets and wherever.''

He said: "I’ve had arguments with friends about this. For me, I don’t know if it (monogamy) is possible. I’m not saying it’s not possible. I have been monogamous in relationships. But I’m not in a relationship now.
“So they haven’t worked. So it wouldn’t stand up in court. I don’t believe that marriage is for everyone.’
