FAMOUS female-lover Colin Farrell tossed a curveball in the new edition of GQ magazine. Feast your eyes on this line: "There's something very basic about rubbing honey on your skin and going steaming with a bunch of strange Russian men."

Could the virile young stud dubbed the "Lusty Leprechaun" by the New York Post - he even tried to hit on a senior citizen actress a couple of years back! - possibly be changing his preference?

Not likely. As it turns out, Colin says he became hooked on Russian steam baths while in New York - he even visited a place called the Russian Turkish Baths in the East Village last month - and now he can't get enough of them. They've helped, he says, tame his addictive personality.

Remember when he checked into rehab a few years back, and his publicist said he was abusing painkillers? That's true, but only partially. Colin also revealed in the interview a few other vices that needed to be shelved - namely, an affinity for cocaine, ecstasy, speed, Jack Daniels and wine. Phew!

In other Colin news, he revealed that he'll never move full-time back to Ireland because of his toddler son James, who lives in LA with his mom, Colin's ex Kim Bordenave. James has a developmental disorder called Angelman Syndrome.

"I love Ireland. It's great craic (fun) meeting all my mates. Sometimes I think, 'Jesus, this is so good. Why aren't I always here?' The answer is my son," he says.

"He lives in the U.S. with his mam and he needs his dad there too. That's my job as a dad and where I have to be. End of story."
