Colin Farrell has spoken about his audition for Boyzone at age 17 and how he was asked to sing the same song twice – for all the wrong reasons.
Speaking to Yahoo, the Total Recall star said: "So I was on a dance floor in Dublin and I was 17, in leather trousers and a rubber T-shirt - I'll spare no embarrassing details - when Louis Walsh came up to me and said, 'I'm forming a band, they're going to be huge, do you want to be in it?'
"I said, 'Yeah', so I went to an audition the next day and there were 150 lads outside the door with various spray-tans, tight T-shirts, etc.
"I went in and sang Careless Whisper twice... they asked me to sing it again because they couldn't believe how shocking I was!"
