I generally do not like to speak ill of minors on this blog, but Henry Farrell and I need to have some words. Colin Farrell stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show to promote not one but two (very different) movies he’s got coming: After Yang and The Batman. Since Lent is almost upon us, Ellen decided to get all our sinning out on the table and threw up some shirtless shots of Colin running. She noted that he enjoys his short shorts for his daily jogs and how they are en vogue currently. That was when Colin said that his youngest son, Henry, is actively campaigning against the bum-huggers! According to Colin, Henry begs his father not to wear them, despite Colin’s counter arguments. Henry – why do you hate us?
Colin Farrell‘s son is not a fan of his running attire!
The 45-year-old The Batman actor stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show for an interview airing on Monday
During his interview, Colin shared how his youngest son Henry, 12, really feels about him wearing short-shorts when he goes running.
While Ellen mentioned that short-shorts “are in now,” Colin quipped, “my youngest son would disagree vehemently with you.”
“He’s mortified,” Colin added. “He says, ‘Please dad, do not wear the short shorts.’”
“But I tell him they feel good,” he continued. “it’s not a ‘fashion thing’, Ellen. Camel toe is never in. We’ve had this conversation.”
I posted the clip below because it’s Colin Farrell and I would never deny you Colin Farrell. I was going to say that Colin and Ellen are really cute together, like siblings. But then Ellen plays a montage of them kissing that got me hot under the collar, so my sibling comments became inappropriate. As for this short shorts argument, I’m going to side with Colin, for obvious reasons. But I also know they are more comfortable for a lot of runners. Honestly, when you live in LA, you get used to people walking around in some wild stuff, so I wouldn’t probably notice a jogger in shorts that should make me blush anymore. However, I am not a 12-year-old boy, and that jogger is not my father. I do know that changes the game considerably, so I probably should side with Henry. Fortunately for us, Colin looks sexy in everything he wears. That man works a pair of jeans like a Dutch Master on an empty canvas.
Which explains why it took four hours to turn Colin into The Penguin for The Batman. It’s hard to cover that much sex. But it sounds like they did it, and that Colin had a blast with his character. And he is unrecognizable, both in appearance and voice. Apparently even Jeffrey Wright, who’d met Colin before, walked right past him with no idea who he was. Maybe if The Penguin was wearing short-shorts we’d know who was in there.
