Colin Farrell, Hollywood’s very own fountain of youth, was spotted strutting his stuff after a yoga class in Los Angeles on Tuesday, August 27. But this wasn’t just any casual stroll out of a yoga studio – no, no. This was a shirtless exit that could’ve caused a minor earthquake in the hearts of bystanders. We’re talking “where’s-my-fan-and-smelling-salts” levels of swoon.
At 48 years young (yes, young – the man is defying time itself), Farrell was captured flaunting his torso, making us all question why we ever skip leg day, or any gym day, really.
But here’s the thing, Colin isn’t just flexing for the sake of flexing (though we’re not complaining). He’s been a devoted yoga enthusiast since 2013. In an interview with Access Hollywood, he waxed poetic about the ancient practice, saying, “It’s very easy to live where you remain in your head… blah blah blah, and you’re thinking about life, Netflix queues, and what your cat thinks of you. Yoga helps you shut all that nonsense down and just put you back in your body.”
Translation: Yoga is basically Farrell’s secret sauce to looking like a sculpted marble statue while the rest of us are still trying to touch our toes without pulling a hamstring.
Now, if that wasn’t enough to make you love him more than your morning coffee, here’s the tear-jerker. Colin recently opened up about his 20-year-old son James, who was diagnosed with Angelman Syndrome. Like the real-life superhero he is, Farrell didn’t just sit around with all that emotional weight – he started a charity to help others affected by the syndrome. Seriously, can this guy be more of a legend?
So, if you want to feel all warm and fuzzy inside (and maybe a little guilty for skipping that yoga class), head over to his foundation’s website for more info. But fair warning: your admiration for Colin Farrell may reach levels previously thought impossible.
