Transformation

Colin Farrell would like to make it clear that he's not a high-maintenance kind of dude. "There are a lot of people who make an effort to look as if they're dressing down," he once told InStyle. "I just dress down." The Total Recall lead favors messy bedhead, hoop earrings, an array of necklaces (copped from film sets) and his signature stubble. The result? Effortless cool.

After appearing in the Irish TV series Ballykissangel, a young Farrell made his Hollywood debut in Tigerland.
