Colin Farrell helps the quasi-homeless

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.

    “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.

    Those quotes leave out the biggest part, Farrell also bought him a condo for one year. It’s in the Toronto Sun article.

  20. 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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.”

    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.

    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.
