While actor Colin Farrell has bared it all for movies before, he’s not so comfortable with a sex tape he made with a former girlfriend appearing on the Internet.

The website dirtycolin.com was allegedly selling access to Farrell’s explicit tape before it was shut down yesterday. According to Farrell’s publicist, the site violated a court order blocking the 15-minute video’s release.

“A Web site attempting to distribute an unauthorized tape of Colin Farrell was shut down today. Mr. Farrell will take legal action against anyone who tries to distribute this tape,” said a statement issued by Farrell publicist Danica Smith.

However, that didn’t stop another website, idontlikeyouinthatway, to post what appeared to be censored stills from the video, reports the Associated Press. The site offered stills from the tape of Farrell engaging in sex acts with his ex-girlfriend and Playboy’s Miss January 2002 Nicole Narain. The site also posted a message from dirtycolin.com: “Colin tried to stop us from showing you this. Well, here it is anyways.”

This is not the first time Farrell’s sex tape has made headlines. Last year, Farrell sued Narain and accused her of trying to distribute the tape through an intermediary.

The actor argued that the tape was made more than two years ago on the understanding that it was to remain private. Its release to the public, he said, would harm his career.

A Superior Court judge in Los Angeles ordered that the tape be temporarily barred from sale, distribution or display.
