G Colin Farrell Jan 05Colin FarrellHe's boasted about his love of the wild life, but it seems it's all got too much for the rough 'n' ready Irishman.

Colin Farrell has checked into rehab after reportedly collapsing at a party.

The one-time Ballykissangel actor, who is currently filming his role as Sonny Crockett in the film remake of Miami Vice in Uruguay, fell ill at a production shindig.

He was treated by a private doctor and has since checked into rehab.

"Colin Farrell has checked himself into a treatment centre for exhaustion and a dependency to prescription medication which was prescribed to him for a back injury," his LA rep, Danica Smith, told the press.

Col will need to get back on his feet soon to complete a hectic schedule of films in the coming year.

He's due to appear in a Bob Dylan biopic alongside Cate Blanchett, thriller Borgia with Scarlett Johansson and Pride And Glory with Nick Nolte.

He's also still locked in heated negotiations with ex-girlfriend and Playboy model Nicole Narain who wants to distribute a sex tape they made some years back for profit.

Sounds like a rest would do him good.
