Farrell quits smoking
A former chain-smoker, the Irish actor has often had to wear a nicotine patch to satisfy his cravings while filming on sets where the habit is banned, and now he has ended his relationship with cigarettes in a bid to get healthy.
He tells America's InStyle magazine, "It was time. I was a 40-cigarette-a-day smoker, but I wasn’t enjoying it. So, on my 34th birthday last year (31May10), I spent a day with a pack and consciously looked at every single puff until I smoked the last one at 11.55 that night.
"I did a whole ritual thing by writing a letter to tobacco, giving it as much significance as I possibly could. I’m done with it."

Moore wants to help boxing hero fund gym dream
Dewey Bozella was incarcerated for over three decades for a murder he did not commit. He was released in 2000 and was handed the Arthur Ashe Award for Courage at the annual sports prizegiving in Los Angeles after turning his bitterness into a love for boxing and a desire to help troubled youngsters avoid jail.
Accepting his award at the glitzy gala, Bozella revealed the New York boxing gym he had been training and teaching at had recently closed down - and now he was determined to open his own place, but he needed help.
Touched by his story and his acceptance speech, Moore took to Twitter.com and wrote, "The true hero of tonight's Espy awards Dewey Bozella. pls (please) send me any info on how 2 (sic) keep his dream alive of having his boxing studio 4 (sic) kids."

Fans name Yates best Potter director Share 0diggsdigg
Four different directors have helped bring author J.K. Rowling's boy wizard books to life on the big screen over the past decade, but Yates has emerged as the clear fan favourite in a new MTV poll for NextMovie.com.
He took charge of the final four films - Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, The Half-Blood Prince, and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 and Part 2 - and came out on top with 62 per cent of the votes.
Chris Columbus (Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and Chamber of Secrets) came in a distant second with 18 per cent, while Alfonso Cuaron (Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban) earned 12 per cent, followed by Mike Newell (Goblet of Fire) with eight.
Meanwhile, Helena Bonham Carter's Bellatrix Lestrange was named favourite villain, and the death of Professor Dumbledore (played by Michael Gambon since 2004), was voted the most unforgettable moment.
The final Harry Potter movie is released in America on Friday (15Jul11).
