"Colin Farrell has revealed that he had a romantic relationship with Elizabeth Taylor shortly before she died two years ago. In an interview on The Ellen Show today (December 16), the 37-year-old Irish actor explained that the pair were very close, but never consummated their romance. Taylor passed away at the age of 79 in 2011.      &amp;quot;It was kind of like the last, it feels like in my head, not her, I&amp;#039;m projecting, but the last kind of romantic relationship I had, which was never consummated,&amp;quot; Farrell told Ellen DeGeneres. He said that they met while Farrell was waiting for his son to be born in hospital four years ago. &amp;quot;We were in Cedars and I bumped into \u00E2\u20AC\u201C it was about an hour before Henry arrived \u00E2\u20AC\u201C and I bumped into somebody outside the lift. It was Elizabeth&amp;#039;s manager and her close friend Tim Mendelsohn and they said &amp;#039;What are you doing here?&amp;#039; &amp;quot;I said my son&amp;#039;s about to be born. They said &amp;#039;Oh&amp;#039;. I said &amp;#039;What are you doing here?&amp;#039; And they said &amp;#039;Well Elizabeth&amp;#039;s having a stint put in her heart, it&amp;#039;s no big deal cause she had so much s**t&amp;#039; and I said, &amp;#039;Will you tell her I said hello? She probably won&amp;#039;t know who I am&amp;#039;. &amp;quot;And they go, &amp;#039;No, she knows who you are&amp;#039;, and I went &amp;#039;Wow, cool. Well, tell her I said hello and I wish her the best&amp;#039;, and they said, &amp;#039;Will do&amp;#039;.&amp;quot;   Farrell, who stars in the new movie Saving Mr Banks, revealed that Taylor&amp;#039;s team later sent him flowers following the birth of Henry. He continued: &amp;quot;I then cheekily about a week later said, &amp;#039;Listen is there any chance I can go\u00E2\u20AC\u00A6 can I go and see her?&amp;#039; That was the beginning of a year and a half or two years of what was a really cool... &amp;quot;I just adored her. She was a spectacular, spectacular woman. I wanted to be [husband] number eight but we ran out of road.&amp;quot; Taylor once said of Farrell in a 2011 interview with Harper&amp;#039;s Bazaar: &amp;quot;I love Johnny Depp, and I love Colin Farrell \u00E2\u20AC\u201C both brilliant, nuanced actors with great range.&amp;quot; Watch a clip from Colin Farrell&amp;#039;s new movie Saving Mr Banks below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
