Colin Farrell Reveals Liz Taylor 'Affair'

Colin Farrell has revealed he had a romantic relationship with Elizabeth Taylor shortly before she died.

The Irish actor made the revelation as he appeared on The Ellen Show on Monday (16 December), and said they were very close, but did not consummate their romance.

Taylor, 70, died in 2011.

Speaking to host Ellen DeGeneres, Farrell explained: "It was kind of like the last, it feels like in my head, not her, I'm projecting, but the last kind of romantic relationship I had, which was never consummated."

The 37-year-old father-of-two added that the pair first met while Farrell was waiting for his son to be born in hospital four years ago.

"We were in Cedars and I bumped into – it was about an hour before Henry arrived – and I bumped into somebody outside the lift," he said. "It was Elizabeth's manager and her close friend Tim Mendelsohn and they said 'What are you doing here?'

"I said my son's about to be born. They said 'Oh'. I said 'What are you doing here?' And they said 'Well Elizabeth's having a stint put in her heart... and I said, 'Will you tell her I said hello? She probably won't know who I am'.

"And they go, 'No, she knows who you are', and I went 'Wow, cool. Well, tell her I said hello and I wish her the best', and they said, 'Will do'."

The actor went on to say that Taylor's team later sent him flowers following the birth of his son.

"I then cheekily about a week later said, 'Listen is there any chance I can go… can I go and see her?' That was the beginning of a year and a half or two years of what was a really cool...

"I just adored her. She was a spectacular, spectacular woman. I wanted to be [husband] number eight but we ran out of road."

In 2011, in an interview with Harper's Bazaar, Taylor once spoke about Farrell, saying: "I love Johnny Depp, and I love Colin Farrell – both brilliant, nuanced actors with great range."
