Hollywood heartthrob Colin Farrell can console himself with the knowledge that his dignity will remain intact.

The Dublin actor and his former girlfriend have finally reached a settlement in their lengthy legal battle over a sex tape they made together in 2003.

Farrell sued Narain — a 2002 Playboy Playmate — last summer for allegedly planning to release the 15-minute footage for her own personal gain.

Narain’s lawyer Leodis Matthews tells the New York Daily News: “It’s an amicable settlement. We were able to completely resolve it. The terms are confidential.”
