Los Angeles: Hell-raising movie star Colin Farrell has forced the shutdown of a website after it offered viewers a peek at his home-made sex video in violation of a court order banning its release.
The Internet site that boasted the steamy fare on Tuesday was not accessible on Wednesday and Farrell's publicist revealed that an Internet site carrying an "unauthorized tape" of Farrell had been shut down.
The website had reportedly made available footage from video featuring the 29-year-old Irish heartthrob in bed with his then girlfriend, former Playboy Playmate Nicole Narain, despite a judge's order in July banning its circulation.
"A website attempting to distribute an unauthorised tape of Colin Farrell was shut down today," Farrell's publicist Danica Smith said in a statement obtained by AFP.
"Mr Farrell will take legal action against anyone who tries to distribute this tape," she added.
Last July, Farrell had filed a lawsuit and won a restraining order banning the release or the commercial exploitation of the raunchy 15-minute video that the actor claimed had been circulated against his will.
At the time, Narain opposed the order blocking the circulation of the video, which Farrell contends was made two and a half years ago on the strict understanding it would remain private.
