THONG TIME
COLIN Farrell previously joked he'd give anything if he was blackmailed over footage of him wearing a thong on RTE television recently obtained by the Irish Sun.
Yesterday, we revealed an incredible clip from The Batman star’s TV debut on Irish screens in 1994 where he posed up a storm in his undies.

Dublin hunk Colin, 45, left presenter Marty Whelan mortified as he bared almost all as a fresh faced 18 year old.
But in a previous interview with US TV host Jay Leno, Farrell alluded to the footage and joked he was determined to keep it from the public domain.
It came after Leno revealed a pic of Colin in what he described as a ‘mankini’, but the Intermission star warned the host there was worse in the archives.
He admitted: “I’m not talking boxer shorts. A f***ing thong. It’s not on YouTube, thank god.

“If someone finds it, please blackmail me, I’ll give you whatever you want.”
He also laughed off a friendly dig from fellow guest Naomi Campbell about his modelling days and shrugged: “I was 17.
“It was 20 dollars. What are you going to do?”
The Hollywood megastar will surely be red-faced after the saucy footage was revealed by the Irish Sun this weekend.

Our exclusive snaps show how Farrell bared all as a model on long forgotten RTE lunchtime chat show 12-2-1.
Hosts Marty Whelan and Ciana Campbell and a panel including Fair City’s Tony Tormey and late newspaper editor Paddy Murray, had no idea they were looking at a future superstar in the nip when Marty declared: “First on we have Colin, who’s wearing very little . . . ”.
Yesterday Marty told how he’d forgotten about the comical clip and said to the Irish Sun: “Merciful hour!
“Happily I have no memory of that televisual appearance!”
In hilarious footage on thesun.ie, Marty is left red-faced after Colin gives his audience a twirl and exclaims: “I don’t want to see the back of him!
“My god he turned around! Don’t let him turn around again. No Colin don’t turn around again.”
