Colin Farrell, the 30-year old Irish actor as famous for his wild lifestyle, as he is for his movie roles, recently learned that the ex-boyfriend of his current flame, Muireann McDonnell committed suicide two months into her new relationship with Farrell. Her ex, John Marc Knight, had attempted to move on and venture back into the world of dating, when his frustration over his ended relationship with McDonnell proved too much for the 22-year old barman.

A friend of Knight’s told the paper: “They must have hit it off immediately. They began to go out. John was devastated.”

Another source said: “He struggled to cope with her seeing somebody else. The fact it was Colin Farrell must have made matters worse. As time passed things got worse for John.”

McDonnell, for her part, was stunned at the news and is coping with Colin by her side, as they vacationed in Italy last week. Those close to Knight have shown no ill will toward the couple during this tragic turn of events, simply expressing the sadness of the loss of a life so young.

    Yikes! How do you process something like that? Poor girl…but then again, she’s sleeping with Colin Farrel, so things even out.

    Tammy, not sure we are looking at the same pic, she looks fine to me.

    Why he was mad over that skank-ass pirate is beyond me. But heartbreak is heartbreak. . . and it fucking hurts. It’s horrible it ended that way.

    That’s excellent. Good for them.
    I’ve seen people lay blame in times like that, which is fucking pathetic and infuriatingly unfair.

    It’s sad, totally, but he committed suicide over that? Was she an especially good conversation or what? And, I mean, he couldn’t take ONE OBJECTIVE LOOK at Colin Farrell in a friggin’ gingham bandana and wide open shirt and think, “I’m better than this”!?
