Some homeless guy in Toronto sure was lucky this past week. The homeless man, only known as David, was living on the streets near where Colin was living while filming the movie The Recruit and the two became friendly towards each other back in 2003. First, he helped out poor David then by attending a local radio promo that advertised if you could bring in Wild Man Colin, you would win $1,000.00. Well Mr. Farrell decided to take the homeless man into the station, therefore, giving David the quick cash.

Flash forward to this past week where Colin met up with David again, who is still living on the streets. David told Colin that his sleeping bag had been stolen. Colin quickly fixed that situation by taking David to a local camping store where he stocked David up with camping gear, pants, socks, shoes, hats, boots, and a new sleeping bag. Before dropping David off for a burger, Colin provided him with some much needed cash. Colin is apparently really surprised by the attention he’s getting for doing this…

His friend tells UsWeekly: “He doesn’t do it for publicity. When he does premieres in Ireland it always goes to charity. He’s always doing things like that but he never talks about it. People dwell on the bad boy, but he’s a nice, normal person and financially in a position to help people.”
