London: Actor Colin Farrell, who has tackled drug and drinking addiction in the past, says he is now a reformed character who loves to exercise and make the most of his life.

"It's helped to stay away from the cocaine and the whiskey. Life moves in cycles. I'm not going to say there was a particular day or time when things changed, or even that I'm a different man.

"I enjoy the work more. I enjoy being a dad more. I enjoy doing things I never thought I'd enjoy, like yoga! I can't say I sat down and said, 'Right, I am going to reinvest'. I know from talking to some friends and different people that it looks as though I've tried to redesign my career but it's not really like that," he said.
