One of the more interesting sidenotes about Elizabeth Taylor’s funeral was that Colin Farrell was one of the few celebrity attendees. Many of us were like “Um, they were friends? Ugh, Colin had sex with Elizabeth, didn’t he?” Because Colin has sex with everybody. Even older ladies. Well, Colin has given a new interview in which he discusses his friendship with Elizabeth, and how their relationship started. He doesn’t come right out and say that they had sex, but I would be willing to wager money that he at least tried to go to bed with her. You know he was up for it.

Colin Farrell was one of the few non-family members who attended Elizabeth Taylor’s private funeral last week — but why?

“How did we become friends? You know, the old story of boy meets girl, the boy pesters girl with too many phone calls at inappropriate hours of the night,” Farrell, 34, tells Access Hollywood.

“I was just lucky enough to become her friend in the last year and a half,” the actor added. “I adore her…still.”

Taylor, who passed away of congestive heart failure at the age of 79, spoke of her fondness for Farrell in the March issue of Harper’s Bazaar.

“I love Johnny Depp, and I love Colin Farrell,” she told Kim Kardashian, who conducted the interview. “They’re both brilliant, nuanced actors with great range.”

As a result of their unlikely friendship, the Horrible Bosses actor was asked to recite Gerard Manley Hopkin’s poem, “The Leaden Echo and the Golden Echo,” at Taylor’s funeral.

“Elizabeth chose it. It was a tricky poem as well,” Farrell laughed. “Even in passing she had me under the thumb, sweating bricks.”

Farrell admits he’s still having a hard time coping with the loss of his friend. “I just miss her,” he said.

Aw, that was really sweet. I enjoy Sober Colin so much more than Drunk Colin. But you know, Elizabeth still enjoyed getting liquored up, especially in her later years. She was a frequent of many Hollywood gay bars, where the drinks were strong and the boys were adoring. Considering that Colin puts a time frame on their friendship – a year and half putting it in his post-rehab frame – I’d say they probably were not drinking buddies. Well, Colin wasn’t drinking. I’m sure Elizabeth was. And I’m sure she adored her little Irish friend. So sweet!
