Colin Farrell's heroic role

Colin Farrell ordered filming on his latest movie to stop so he could comfort an injured boy. The heroic Irish actor was shooting scenes for an untitled Woody Allen film in North London yesterday (23.08.06) when he saw a little boy fall off his bike. Witnesses say the heartthrob rushed to the aid of the crying youngster and scooped him up in his arms. An onlooker told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "Colin wanted to be sure he was OK." Farrell stars as Ewan McGregor's brother in the unnamed movie. Former 'EastEnders' actress Tamzin Outhwaite also has a small part in the film. A source said: "I guess she is trying to move away from small time TV roles and break into Hollywood."

The source also revealed the project is so secret that even the crew are not told what scenes they will be shooting until the very last minute.
