Colin Farrell -- St. Alexander?

Colin Farrell's known as a philandering, dirty-mouthed, Hollywood bad boy -- but this week, he spent around $10,000 on a homeless man.
Colin Farrell
Rewind to 2003 when a local radio station offered $2,000 to anyone who could get the swaggering lothario into the studios -- when a homeless guy known as "Stress" pulled off the incredible feat. On Tuesday, the same vagabond was outside Colin's hotel, with Farrell not only remembering him, but sweeping him into his car for a shopping spree!

According to the Toronto Sun, Farrell took the man to Europe Bound Travel Outfitters, telling workers there to "Get him anything he wants." Stress picked up a $500 jacket, a backpack filled with socks, underwear, boots and a sleeping bag. After shopping Colin then went to an ATM, took out "a wad of twenties" and arranged to pay the dude's rent for a year!

77. Wow.....Way to go Colin....While it may have been somewhat contrived for the media, regardless, it was a nice gesture....And who cares if it was in the US or Canada.....He remembered the guy, and gave him another hand up in life.......Some people should be so lucky....Help your fellow man...........No matter what nationality.......

79. Yeah, Colin was in my town a few years back filming and he was shopping in a upscale glass gallery and met a lovely older lady who worked there, she is from his hometown, they talked alot about home, and he asked her to pick out something for a dear friend, something SHE would like, something very nice, so she did, and he asked her if she would giftwrap it, and as she handed it to him after he made his purchase, he pushed it back at her and said this is for YOU. I've been a fan every since.

80. That is so awesome. I wish more people were like that. What good is wealth to those who don't share it?

82. Now this is what I like to see! Rich people helping out others in the country they actually LIVE IN! Instead of flying to other countries to steal kids and calling it "Helping out". GO COLIN!
