Bad boy Hollywood A-lister, Colin Farrell has worked his charm on Barbadian songstress, Rihanna.

According to The Sun, Rihanna has continuously been texting him since they met on the set of The Graham Norton Show before Christmas.

A clip of the chat show featured Farrell paying a compliment to Rihanna's slender limbs. He said: "They are very nice limbs. There's probably a reason I mentioned them, I had to get them off my mind."

The conversation then turned to Rihanna discussing a wax treatment that had Farrell looking very excited.

A source close to Farrell claimed that the infamous Colin, who is known for being charming, was taken aback by some of Rihanna's flirty SMS texts, but he said that there was no harm since they are both single.

Colin Farrell's previous relationship with Alicja Bachleda-Curus ended last month. The two have a 16-month-old son, Henry.

The R&B chart-topper and Irish playboy have plans to meet when their schedules allow. The two have made headlines for other reasons too.

Farrell had starred in a leaked sex video tape and Rihanna's latest music video, "Te Amo", was controversial for the scenes that showed two women kissing each other.
