Colin Farrell 'switching to Judaism'

Hollywood star Colin Farrell will abandon his Catholic faith in order to switch to Judaism, it has been claimed.

The In Bruges star will apparently convert to the religion of his girlfriend Emma Forrest, a novelist he has been dating since June.

The New York Post reports that the actor was seen at a party in West Hollywood wearing a chain with a Star of David pendant attached.

Earlier this year, Farrell signed up to appear in Triage, a drama helmed by Bosnian director Danis Tanovic.
