Celebrities at the Toronto International Film Festival are known to hit the shops in the city’s upscale Yorkville neighborhood — but Colin Farrell’s shopping spree to help a homeless man had photographers and TV crews scrambling after an unconventional target and newspapers raving about the Irish actor’s generosity.

Farrell, who’s film ”Cassandra’s Dream” premiered at the festival this week, took a man who goes by the name “Stress” on a shopping spree worth about $2000 at a store that sells outdoor gear, according to local media.

The store owner said Farrell told him to help Stress get anything he wanted and only the best. Purchases included a sleeping bag, a backpack, waterproof jackets, pants, boots and socks.

The pair later went to a bank machine where Farrell took out about $800 which would cover the first and last month’s rent of a room.

Farrell told a local TV station that the man was “a friend of mine.”

Farrell first met Stress four years ago while filming in Toronto and helped him win a cash prize offered by a radio station to anyone who could bring the actor into their studio. Farrell took Stress from the streets and accompanied him to the station to claim the prize.

Who wouldn’t be Farrell’s No. 1 fan after that?
