Colin Farrell in an ascot: dashingly sexy or much too fancy?

We saw the photo call for The Way Back yesterday – the set of photos were amazing, just for Colin Farrell’s sheer hotness, little Saoirse’s stunning beauty, and Jim Sturgess’s incessant pillow-weeping. Last night was the London premiere for the film – and Colin showed up in what I can only identify as an “ascot”. Is that right? At first I thought it was a clown tie that Colin was wearing for fun, but Colin is really trying to bring the “Brad Pitt in Tom Ford” ascot vibe, isn’t he? Thoughts? Can Colin pull this off? He’s always been an eccentric dresser, almost a mini-Johnny Depp. When someone like Pitt wears an ascot, it seems like an aspect of his dandiness, his fussy dressing. On Colin it seems like a way to pick up women, right? Like, “Baby, do you like my ascot? It’s the perfect length to tie your wrists together while I’m boning you like there’s no tomorrow, love.” Verdict: Colin can pull off the ascot. And I would pull it off… with my teeth.

The rest of them… here’s Jim Sturgess. I actually felt kind of bad yesterday when I claimed that Sturgess looked like the kind of guy who would pump for a minute and then burst into tears. So I looked up some videos of him singing. Um… okay, he was totally the kind of guy I would have been in love with when I was 18 years old. He’s also a pillow-weeper, for the love of GOD. There’s a reason you fall for guys like that when you’re 18 years old – you don’t know any better. You think when a guy pumps for a minute and bursts into tears, it’s because of his sensitive soul. It’s not. It’s because he sucks. Also: the boy has bangs trauma. Like, Peggy Olsen-in-Mad-Men level of bangs trauma.

Saoirse! She’s so pretty. I really, really hope that Colin isn’t tying her up with his ascot.

  4. REALIST says:

    Campy, especially with his expression- I like!

  5. bellaluna says:

    The pattern of the ascot coordinates with the rest of his outfit; he wears it almost subtle-ly. It’s not like looks like Fred (?) from Scooby-Doo.

    I believe Saoirse is 16 or 17 now. Don’t think she’s 18 yet.

  6. Samigirl says:

    @bite me-you think that would stop Colin? Or her, for that matter?!

    And yes, he looks REALLY fab in the ascot.

  7. Mika says:

    Allow me to be an outdated snob for a moment…. Ascots are actually officially casual wearm, far more casual then ties. At my old college, boys would be kicked out of the dining hall for wearing ascots.

  8. sapphire says:

    I know alot of you have the hots for Colin, but I’m just not getting it. He looks blank-vacumn behind the eyes.

  9. spinner says:

    Oh yes…he would slowly remove the ascot & lightly run it over my…

    Looks like I need a private moment.

  10. LOVE ANGELINA says:

    I liked how he looked yesterday. However he is still a hot piece.

  12. Bailey says:

    Hot! Now I must close my cubicle door and … have a moment to think about all kinds of uses for that ascot.

  13. Jackson says:

    Oh, Lordy. I’ll take two please. Merry Christmas to me!

  14. Oi says:

    Blink Jim….blink…

  15. padiddle says:

    he’s my forever dong. Damn him and his sexiness.

  16. original kate says:

    the ascot needs to go. in fact, all colin’s clothes need to go; i can help.

  17. LittleDeadGirl says:

    I like the clothes, cause Colin can pull them off, but I dunno about the facial hair. I’ve never had a problem with well groomed facial hair before but on him it’s just … fussy. But all that aside him naked I’d not care too much about ANYTHING else …

  18. gg says:

    YUMMY and still needs a shave.

  19. tooey says:

    I was all set to hate on the ascot, but I like it. Plus, I can use it to tie Collin to the bed later…. ;p

  20. Cruisin_Through says:

    He’s so uber hot! Leave that little girl alone and get over here !

  21. SuperSleuth says:

    ROTFL Spinner!!:)

    The ascot is the new metrosexual accessory: “…an object or device not essential in itself…”

    Unfortunately straight men should never wear them, and gay men can only hope to bear them.

    I read a review of an ascot the other day on the US Land’s End website, and I laughed. Several of the men thought that they made poor scarves. “Why are they short?” and “Way to short to keep me warm!” I wanted to scream out, they aren’t scarves!

    For some reason, they’ve made their way back from France and England. Sadder still, the men in Montreal all seem to like to wear them, but this is the city that brought the lumberjack plaid back from the 1960s.

    I doubt that many know lumberjacks, like my dad, wore them both in the woods, and on cold day when the cow’s stall needed a good shoveling!

    Personally, I don’t want to wear clothing that everyone else is wearing, but hurry, because Land’s End is still selling it’s ascots for 6.99 each, and that’s a good savings, considering they were originally 19.99, but again, they won’t keep your neck warm!

    My eyes just came twice of their own accord!!

    Too much SEXY! My lord, there has to be a law against that man somewhere. Trés bon! Especially love the dumb sunglasses sitting up in that don’t give a shit hair. I’d do him just for that.
