Colin Farrell

When Irish actor Colin Farrell hit the Hollywood scene, he became the poster boy for bad behavior. Farrell was never seen without a cigarette, a drink or a beautiful girl. The Dublin native checked himself into a drug rehabilitation center in 2005 for addiction to painkillers. In 2008, Farrell admitted to have started drinking at the age of 14 and said his drinking would kill him. After the birth of his son, Farrell has stuck to only playing the bad boy on screen.

Mel Gibson

Mel Gibson’s 2006 DUI arrest (and mug shot) will go down in hangover history. As an honorary addition to the list, the Australian-born Gibson is half Irish and has citizenship in the Emerald Isle. Gibson was all over the media, apologizing for his drunken remarks. The incident between Gibson and California police nearly ended the actor’s career. It’s safe to say that Mel Gibson might never recover from that hangover.
