Forever Heartthrob Colin Farrell Is Polished in a Suit and Sneakers

Iconic noughties heartthrob Colin Farrell has just resurfaced on the streets. The 42-year-old actor—famous for his brooding stare, his peppered facial hair, a one-off tryst with Britney Spears, and his overall bad boy demeanor—was spotted today in New York City. He had appeared on Good Morning America, where he was promoting his latest film Dumbo, in which he plays a one-armed Southern World War I veteran tasked with training the titular young elephant to fly. But back to the clothes: He wore a shiny steel blue Etro pinstripe suit with his classic laissez-faire touches, going sans tie and picking a pair of plain Adidas sneakers in lieu of a stuffy dress shoe.

Call it relaxed! Call it cool! Farrell makes suiting up with ease look, well, easy. Male cleavage has been in for a while, so it is refreshing to see Farrell let his pectorals breathe. And sneakers are, of course, a stellar way to anchor buttoned-up attire. (Phoebe Philo has been doing it for years!) In other words, Farrell’s effortless look puts him back on our radar as our favorite ’00s teen dream, only far better dressed.
