He then became a father for the second time in October 2009 to son Henry Tadeusz, with Polish actress Alicja Bachleda-Curuś. In a Vanity Fair interview, Colin gave a little more insight into the father and son matching tuxedos, saying they'll be wearing velvet.

After his big win at the Golden Globes, Colin gave a nice shout out to his two sons who he called the “loves of his life” in his 2023 Golden Globes acceptance speech. He said: “My kids at home are watching this, James and Henry, the loves of my life. I love you so much."

In his interview with Vanity Fair, the Castleknock native said that he still pinches himself when he realises what he does for a living. He said: "At times I still pinch myself that I get to do what I do for a living. And I know it’s not curing cancer and I know it’s not splitting the atom, but films have played a really important part of my life as a boy, as a young man.

"They do today as a man. They play an important part of my life as a father.

He added: "Myself, my two kids, films are a real cornerstone of our relationships,” he added.
