New York, Sep 14: Actor Colin Farrell has shown that he is a big-hearted man by taking a homeless man on a shopping spree.

The Irish actor splashed 2,100 dollars helping the homeless man to acquire new clothes and outdoor gear, reports the New York Post.

Farrell took the heart-warming decision while promoting "Cassandra's Dream" with co-star Ewan McGregor and director Woody Allen in Toronto.

The actor was informed by the man begging outside the Hotel Inter-Continental, "It's my 55th birthday tomorrow."

And that was enough for Farrell to load the vagrant into his SUV, and take him to a "travel outfitters" shop called Europe Bound.

According to sources, the actor bought the man a two-person thermal sleeping bag, new clothes and some luggage. Afterwards, Farrell also gave him a bundle of cash. (With Inputs from ANI)
