Irish heart-throb Colin Farrell plays a country singer in a new film co-starring Maggie Gyllenhaal and Jeff Bridges.

The 33-year-old is in Crazy Heart, in which he plays a young protégé taken under the wing of Bridges, an ageing musician.

Gyllenhaal is a reporter who falls for the older star, whom she in turn inspires.

Crazy Heart, which is based on a Thomas Cobb novel, also features Robert Duvall.
