Er, what on EARTH is hellraiser Colin Farrell doing on Sesame Street?

Bizarre: Colin Farrell makes a guest appearance on Sesame Street where he investigates the word 'investigate' with some of the puppet characters


He's known for his colourful language, womanising ways and love of the drink.
But despite his hellraiser reputation, Colin Farrell was bizarrely picked by TV bosses to make a guest appearance on children's show Sesame Street.

It comes just weeks after producers of the hit American programme pulled scenes of Katy Perry after a YouTube video of her in the sketch, wearing a very low cut dress, attracted complaints from parents who deemed her attire too racy.


What am I doing here? The hellraising actor looks a bit a bit out of place


In the skit, Irish-born Farrell, 34, and some of the puppet characters investigated the word 'investigate'.

Murray the Monster seemed most impressed with the actor, telling Farrell he was 'tall and handsome' and 'pretty smart'.

Farrell has said filming the guest spot was one of the high-points of his career.
'I did a scene with Elmo and a couple of the other characters,' he says.

'The word of the day was "investigation." We did a scene with a couple of talking carrots,' he explained, before adding, 'and s**t. It was genius!'

Father of two Farrell has two sons - seven-year-old James with former girlfriend, US model Kim Bordenave and one-year-old Henry from his relationship with current partner, his Ondine co-star Alicja Bachleda-Curus.

In December 2005, Farrell voluntarily checked into a rehabilitation treatment centre for addictions to recreational drugs and painkillers.
