Colin Farrell has been granted a three-year restraining order against a woman attempting to sue the actor for stalking her.

Dessarae Bradford, who confronted Farrell during a taping of The Tonight Show last month, has been ordered to stay at least 150 yards away from the Miami Vice star and his family.

In granting the order, Los Angeles Superior Court officials accepted that Bradford remains a threat to Farrell.

Farrell’s battles with Bradford began in late 2004 when she filed a handwritten lawsuit claiming the actor pestered her with phone calls.

Bradford accused the Irish hunk of harassment and stalking her, alleging he wouldn’t leave her alone after initially befriending her. She demanded $5,000 from the star, plus the return of artwork and an erotic tape.

Farrell has always maintained he had never met Bradford before she filed suit against him. The lawsuit was later dismissed.

Collin Farrell was snubbed by actor Don Johnson while shooting ‘Miami Vice.’

The Irish star – who plays detective Sonny Crockett in the hit film, the character portrayed by Johnson in the original hit 80s TV series – claims the actor never returned his calls when he tried to contact him to ask for tips for the role.

He told Scotland’s Daily Record newspaper: “I called him but he never returned my call. But Jamie Foxx met him in a restaurant in Los Angeles and he said to Jamie, ‘Tell Colin, when he’s through with my jock strap I want it back.’ I never got his jock strap.”

Meanwhile, Farrell, famed for his womanising ways, has revealed he is taking a break from acting so he can concentrate on his four-year-old son, James.

He said: “I’m single. I don’t know how fatherhood has changed me, I just know that for the first time in my life I have somebody I’m in love with and I know it’s going to last. That’s an incredible feeling.”
