Colin Farrell took a homeless man on a $2100 shopping spree in Toronto. Colin had the met the guy years ago while filming a movie, and decided to catch up with him. The Daily Mail reports:
Farrell reportedly told shop assistants, “Get him anything he wants. Whatever he needs,” before shelling out $2,100 (£1,050) on new clothes and outdoor gear at Toronto’s Europe Bound Travel Outfitters store. Staff helped the homeless man, known as Stress, and Farrell pick out a coat, a sleeping bag, and a rucksack stuffed with socks, boots and new underwear.
“He was a cool guy. He doesn’t act like a movie star,” store manager Dave Mott said.
But Colin’s generosity didn’t end there.
According to newspaper the Toronto Sun, after the shopping spree, Farrell asked Mott for directions to the nearest bank machine, where he withdrew a wad of $20 (£10)notes for Stress.
Now Stress reportedly plans to take a bike trip around Farrell’s native Ireland.
Wait a minute. I don’t know many homeless people that plan on taking international flights to go bike-riding. I do know a homeless guy who will wash your windows for half a hash brown. Though he does a really crappy job. Sure he’s only got a three month old magazine and his own spit, but show some pride in your work, Hash Brown Joe. I even threw in a ketchup packet. Yeah, Colin Farrell bought you a Lexus, so what? I gave you Heinz ketchup. That’s the Lexus of ketchup.

Wow. Wouldn’t it have been more useful clean him up, get him a job, etc. etc.? That money can only last through so many trips to Europe.
kathy | September 14, 2007 at 12:46 pm

Imagine how much alcohol he’ll be able to buy after the cameras go away and he sells all that stuff. Lucky bum.

Colin is so caring and generous! Let’s all fuck him!
jonny | September 14, 2007 at 12:52 pm
He’s not taking a bike trip, the store manager is.
H | September 14, 2007 at 12:52 pm
“Farrell met “Stress” four years ago when he was in Toronto shooting a movie. Back then, he helped “Stress” win a $2,000 prize.”
Looks like the cat’s already come back, Lola.

That first line
Wait a minute. I don’t know many homeless people that plan on taking international flights to go bike-ridin.
Cracked me up.
FRIST!!! | September 14, 2007 at 12:53 pm
Half a hash brown oh my god that’s funny!!!!!
#4, he did, he got him a sleeping bag. Home sweet bag..
ssdd | September 14, 2007 at 12:56 pm
He helped a homeless person because he can relate…. .~.Lookswise.~
Colins hair looks greasy .. ..he looks like he hasn’t had a bath in months… his eyebrows are so bushy he probably has lice in them … hi fingernails look dirty and his knuckles are stained…………and that jacket looks like it was purchased from the Dollar Store………….He is a dirty bastard.
Barry LeFarge | September 14, 2007 at 12:58 pm
Colin Farrell news items are much better when they’re about his sex videos with Playboy models. Lets stick to those

Tatiana | September 14, 2007 at 1:01 pm
WTF? Something tells me this guy is NOT homeless.
kilgoretrout | September 14, 2007 at 1:01 pm
Those quotes leave out the biggest part, Farrell also bought him a condo for one year. It’s in the Toronto Sun article.
FRIST!!! | September 14, 2007 at 1:01 pm
OMG #16 funny
The press is retarded | September 14, 2007 at 1:03 pm
Funny how the press can’t get anything right!
It was actually David Mott the Manager of the store that is taking the bike trip. Some dum dum reporter got the story mixed up.
Colin got the guy an apartment and clothes…and no one even knew about it. The homeless guys in Toronto have all been talking about it, and a reporter that talks to them about the stars during Film Festival found out.
I love bashing celebrities as much as the next person but get the story straight!
heather | September 14, 2007 at 1:03 pm
You idiot…the homeless person isn’t taking a bike around Ireland, a guy quoted in the article is.
Mike | September 14, 2007 at 1:06 pm
he seems to have friends regardless of their personal status. a local (formerly) homeless guy I know in my neighborhood used to work on his motorcycles…Farrell would come out to say hello and shoot the shit with him sometimes. seems to actually be a decent guy…who knew.
jrzmommy | September 14, 2007 at 1:08 pm
No, Heather…YOU idiot……………Staff helped the homeless man, known as Stress…….Now Stress reportedly plans to take a bike trip around Farrell’s native Ireland.
You musta really aced the SATs in reading comprehension.
jrzmommy | September 14, 2007 at 1:09 pm
but I digress…………..he should hop on the bandwagon and just adopt the dude.
Stink | September 14, 2007 at 1:09 pm
WTF? A prego has been, Larry Nobody, Kid Cock and this who cares story? No pics of tits today is a bad day for the superficial!!!!!

Dude,
This is the funniest thing you have ever written!!!!! Thank you, I’m in tears!!!!!!!!!!
bottlesandcansjustclapyourhands | September 14, 2007 at 1:14 pm
how’d he find him years later? How is anyone homeless in a socialist nation?
jonny | September 14, 2007 at 1:15 pm
jrzmommy,
Wrong. The store manager is taking the trip. This has been reported all over the net. Whoever wrote the article got it wrong.
Oh, wait. Fist yourself.
Randy Swisher | September 14, 2007 at 1:16 pm
Turns out the homeless dude has 5 hot sisters. So there you go.
Jimbo | September 14, 2007 at 1:18 pm
Who is this homeless dude in the picture?
Miggs | September 14, 2007 at 1:18 pm
Nice picture. I think that’s when Colin was on a talk show and they showed him a picture of Stress masturbating to all the pictures of Colin that he had plastered on the walls of his new condo.
jrzmommy | September 14, 2007 at 1:18 pm
Hey jonny…why don’t you show me how, cocksucker.
Conan O'Brien | September 14, 2007 at 1:19 pm
“Colin, please help me welcome our very special guest, Amy Winehouse!”
BunnyButt | September 14, 2007 at 1:22 pm
At least in this pic, Colin’s looking a lot like the scary homeless guy living in the park near my apartment, so clearly Colin’s able to identify with the homeless on multiple levels.
But, seriously, nice of Colin to help out someone in need, even if Colin is a disease ridden ho.
Andy Stitzer | September 14, 2007 at 1:23 pm
Good lord, everybody’s got the bike part wrong. The store manager is a gay virgin, and when he saw Colin he said “I hope you have a big trunk… because I’m puttin’ my bike in it.”
fixed | September 14, 2007 at 1:30 pm
“Now Stress reportedly plans to take a bike trip around Farrell’s native Ireland, begging for whiskey.”
jonny | September 14, 2007 at 1:33 pm
jizmommy,
Just be a man, admit you were wrong, and get on with your life. Don’t EVER post here again.
hello..... | September 14, 2007 at 1:34 pm
you have your story wrong. it’s not the homeless guy who’s planning the bike trip, it’s the manager of the store where the gear was purchased.
get your facts straight if you’re gonna make fun of the guy.
FRIST!!! | September 14, 2007 at 1:36 pm
#38 Look above you
Al Zimers | September 14, 2007 at 1:37 pm
It wasn’t that Stress dude, it was the store manager dude who talked about the bike trip. I can’t believe nobody has noticed this error yet.
jrzmommy | September 14, 2007 at 1:37 pm
OOOOH—it’s Jonny the Superficial Crowd Police……okay, half a mea culpa as I wasn’t there and can only go on what I read……so, yeah, mea culpa, but you’re still a cunt and there’s no one to blame for that but yourself.
SKEET SKEET SKEET!!! | September 14, 2007 at 1:38 pm

jonny | September 14, 2007 at 1:40 pm
Never mind all that shit. Has anyone noticed he said it was the bum who is going on the bike trip, when it’s actually the store manager?
joLIE | September 14, 2007 at 1:41 pm
Media whore. he must have caught the ‘fake chairty to make yourself look good’ bug from Jolie.

Jizmonkey,
I told you not to post here. I can see reading isn’t your strong point, but it’s not like there were a lot of long words.

OMG! PANIC!!! It wasn’t the homeless guy! AHHHHHH–RUN! RUN! Someone misreported the story! DEAR GOD, SAVE US! HIDE YOUR CHILDREN! THE SKY IS FALLING! HELP! HELP!
Bunch of overreacting fucking faggots
Shut Up | September 14, 2007 at 1:42 pm
