Colin Farrell is only 98.7% Irish.

In this video with Wired, Colin Farrell and Danny DeVito answer the most asked questions about them on the internet, and the results are great.

Although most of the questions that are asked are fairly basic, their answers are certainly not.

Speaking about the fact that he auditioned for Boyzone (he sang ‘Careless Whisper’, by the way) way back when, he said that “Two of the members of the boyband had dead mics and I couldn’t even be one of them”.

Unsurprisingly, one of the most searched questions about Colin Farrell was: “Is Colin Farrell English?”

You can only imagine how that went down. DeVito mocked him for being overly Irish, while Farrell himself said that he is exactly “98.7% Irish”, according to an ancestry test.

If you haven’t had enough of the Dublin man by now, you can catch JOE’s interview with him here, where he discusses Dumbo, the saddest movies ever, and It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia.
