Colin Farrell is fighting reports he checked into rehab after overdosing on
a dangerous cocktail of narcotics.
The actor's publicist - who has confirmed the star is being treated for drug
addiction and exhaustion - has reportedly denied he was rushed to hospital
after overdosing on cocaine and marijuana.
It had been claimed the Irish hellraiser was rushed to an emergency room in
Uruguay - where he is filming his new movie 'Miami Vice' - where doctors
discovered marijuana, cocaine and an unidentified third substance in his
blood.
Farrell checked into a rehab centre this week after admitting he had become
addicted to prescription painkillers after being given them for a bad back.
His Los Angeles publicist, Danica Smith, said: "Colin Farrell has checked
himself into a treatment centre for exhaustion and a dependency to
prescription medication which was prescribed to him for a back injury
"No other comments will be made at this time."
The wild star is known for his love of women and partying.
Last year, he confessed to a magazine that he had even smoked heroin.
He admitted: "For some reason, it seemed pretty f*****g nice at the time
There was nothing I wouldn't have f*****g done. Whatever was around."
