Colin Farrell tried to tempt monroe's spirit!

Actor Colin Farrell started real young when it came wooing Hollywood's leading ladies, for as a kid he tried to tempt sex siren Marilyn Monroe - even though she had died 14 years before he was born.

The 'Miami Vice' star revealed that as a kid, he would often leave chocolate sweets called Smarties under his pillow along with a little note that said that even though he knew Marilyn was dead, he still thought that she would enjoy the treats.

"I used to leave Smarties (small chocolate sweets) under my pillow with a note saying, 'I know you're dead but these are very tasty and you should have a few. I won't tell anyone,'" Contactmusic quoted him, as saying.

To this day, blonde bombshell Marilyn Monoe remains one of the 20th century's most famous movie stars, sex symbols and pop icons.

She was found dead in the bedroom of her Brentwood, California home by her housekeeper Eunice Murray, in the middle of the night, on August 5, 1962.

Monroe was 36 at the time of her death, and though it was ruled as an overdose from the sleeping pill Nembutal, several conspiracy theories have surfaced in the decades after her death, some involving President John F. Kennedy.

There is also speculation that her death was accidental, but the official cause of death was "probable suicide" by acute barbiturate poisoning.
