Colin Farrell is suing a woman for allegedly trying to distribute and profit from a sex tape he says the two recorded with the agreement it would never be made public.

The lawsuit filed yesterday seeks monetary damages as well as a temporary restraining order and injunction prohibiting the sale or other use of the videotape.

Farrell, 29, accuses Nicole Narain of trying to distribute the tape through an intermediary. The two had an intimate relationship two and a half years ago and both agreed the 15-minute tape that shows the couple having sex would be jointly owned by them and would remain private, according to the suit.

The lawsuit also accused the 31-year-old woman of working with the owner of an internet pornography business and contacting news media about the tape.

The lawsuit said the release of the videotape would irreparably harm Farrell’s reputation and career.

Farrell, who has starred in S.W.A.T and Alexander, and is due to appear in The New World and Miami Vice, has been named one of the sexiest men alive by People magazine.

He has a son with model Kim Bordenave.
