Hollywood’s bad boy Colin Farrell is yet again facing problems over the 15-minute ‘sex tape’ he made with Playboy Playmate Nicole Narain.

The Dublin-born star had to shut down a website — dirtycolin.com — which claimed to be selling access to the explicit tape.

His publicist said the website was violating a court order which tried to block the release of the tape and that the actor would take legal action against anyone else who tried to distribute it.

The situation has caused Farrell nothing but grief since he made the tape with his then girlfriend Narain. The heartthrob sued Narain last year for trying to distribute the tape arguing that it was made with the agreement it would never be made public.

But it was reported the website made the tape available for about two-and-a-half hours charging $14.95 to view it before it was finally shut down.
