Colin Farrell had to manscape for sex scene

Actor Colin Farrell created a 'landing strip' while shaving his intimate parts for his first sex scene.

The 40-year-old thought he should tidy up his private parts, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"I was doing my first American film back in 2000 and there was a sex scene in it. I had never done a sex scene before. I went up to the director Joel Schumacher in just a dressing gown and nothing underneath," Farrell said on the Ellen DeGeneres's talk show titled "Celebrity Confessions".

"I opened it up to him and referred to it as a retro bush. I decided I would go trim it," he added.

Farrel then said he went into the hair and make-up department and asked if they have a beard trimmer.

"I went to my trailer and sat over a bin. I trimmed the right side and then the left but I over-stretched. So I then approached the right side. And kept doing it. I had a lovely, lovely, little landing strip," the "Phone Booth" actor said.
