A psychiatrist asked him to write down how much he did in a week – 20 ecstasy tablets, four grams of coke, six grams of speed, half an ounce of hash, three bottles of Jack Daniels, 12 bottles of red wine, 60 pints and 280 cigarettes.

But one of the most bizarre claims came from veteran British actress Dame Eileen Atkins. She claimed that Colin spent nearly three hours begging her to sleep with him – three weeks before her 70th birthday. She turned him down.

His boozing and womanising have become legendary since he arrived in Hollywood seven years ago – and he has rarely been seen in public without a drink, a female companion, or usually both.

He has been linked to a string of stars, including Demi Moore, Kate Beckinsale, Britney Spears and Angelina Jolie, and was married to actress Amelia Warner for four months in 2001 – a romance he summarises as “too fast, too young”.

Colin has recently been said to be seeing actress Lake Bell, 27, who he met making Pride And Glory. But he says: “I don’t have a better half or significant other. I’ve found a love I never thought I’d find with my son.

“And with my life as it is now, it would be very hard to have somebody – for them and me. I’m never in one place for longer than three or four months and have been living in hotels for seven years.

“Plus, I find that the work takes a certain amount out of me and as much as it would be nice to have somebody to pick me up a little bit, sometimes I just want to be on my own with my own thoughts. I’ve been lucky enough to have been in love a few times and I’ve felt how wonderful it is. But it comes with a lot of responsibility and pressures.
