Washington: Irish actor Colin Farrell thinks that he was probably high on drugs and alcohol when he taped his infamous sex session with Playboy model Nicole Narain.

Farrell, 32, even took Narain to court in a bid to try and stop the distribution of the sex tape in 2005, but now he has admitted that the footage wasn’t so bad for his career. The only thing he seems to regret is that Narain had put the idea of a sex tape to him when he was not sober. “I think I was high… It seemed like a good idea at the time,” Contactmusic quoted him as saying.

The other reason he fought so hard to have the footage off the Internet was because he feared his mother’s comments if she saw it. “God forbid, she’d tell me something like, ‘Oh you remind me of your father at certain angles’,” he added.
