Colin Farrell has revealed that he hasn't been on a date in four years, as he's more interested in raising his two sons and focussing on his career than romance.

The 38-year-old True Detective star has been linked to many famous faces over the years, including Britney Spears and Angelina Jolie, but the heartthrob has now revealed that those days are behind him.

Farrell told Style magazine: "I am a good boy these days. There is not one [woman in my life] - zilch, nada. I have not dated for, ooh, four years now. It's just not happening, what with the work, the kids and my life.

"I know it's not what people expect to hear, but that's the honest truth."

Farrell has two sons, 11-year-old James and five-year-old Henry, and said: "[When you have children] it's not all about you anymore, which is a relief. It's about a bigger world, and helping them find their place in it.

"It's not about 'me, me, me, the loudmouth' any more - and that takes the pressure off me to live up to those old expectations."

See Farrell in True Detective on Sky Atlantic from June 22.
