At 34 years old he is considered a modern day Lothario who has been linked to Angelina Jolie, Britney Spears and Naomi Campbell over the years and is currently rumoured to be dating Rihanna. <\/p>\n

But while Colin Farrell has been linked to woman of all ages there will be one relationship that will no doubt shock fans. <\/p>\n

Colin has recently opened up about his close friendship with Hollywood legend Elizabeth Taylor, who passed away a week ago. <\/p>\n

\n

Unlikely relationship: Colin Farrell has revealed that he had a close friendship with Elizabeth Taylor<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The pair became so close in fact that Colin was one of the few outsiders who joined her family at the private funeral last week. <\/p>\n

Colin told Access Hollywood: \u2018I was just lucky enough to become her friend in the last year and a half . I adore her\u2026still.\u2019\n<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Phone Booth actor revealed how the pair had met and said: \u2018How did we become friends? <\/p>\n

‘You know, the old story of boy meets girl, and boy pesters girl with too many phone calls at inappropriate hours of the night.\u2019<\/p>\n

\n\"Intimate:<\/p>\n

Intimate: The Irish actor was one of the few friends invited\u00a0 to Taylor’s funeral last week and even read a poem chosen by the actress<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Elizabeth, who passed away at the age of 79, had hand-picked the poem for Colin to say at her funeral.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the poem The Leaden Echo and The Golden Echo by Gerard Manley Hopkins he said: \u2018Elizabeth chose it. It was a tricky poem as well. Even in passing she had me under the thumb, sweating bricks.\u2019<\/p>\n

\n\"(Older)<\/p>\n

(Older) ladies’ man: Dame Eileen Atkins revealed in 2005 that Colin had attempted to seduce her<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Elizabeth was interred at the Great Mausoleum at Forest Lawn Memorial Parks and Mortuaries in Glendale, California, the same place Michael Jackson, her close friend, was laid to rest in 2009.<\/p>\n

In the March issue of Harper\u2019s Bazaar Elizabeth spoke about Colin in an interview conducted by Kim Kardashian.<\/p>\n

Elizabeth told the reality TV star earlier this year: \u2018I love Johnny Depp, and I love Colin Farrell \u2013 both brilliant, nuanced actors with great range.\u2019<\/p>\n

And the National Velvet star isn’t the only older woman – or Dame – who Colin has held a torch for.<\/p>\n

In 2005 Dame Eileen Atkins revealed how the Irish actor had spent over two hours attempting to seduce her.<\/p>\n

During an appearance on Loose Women, the actress said: ‘I was doing a movie and three weeks before my 70th birthday, a simply stunningly gorgeous big film star aged 28 years old, came into my hotel room for sex without strings.<\/p>\n

The Gosford Park star, now 76, didn’t give away the name at the time, and says she refused his advances, but added: ‘It was pure bliss and it made me sail through my 70th birthday without a care in the world.’<\/p>\n

Her agent later confirmed that Dame Atkins was referring to Farrell and an incident that occurred while filming Ask The Dusk.<\/p>\n
