AP - Actor 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 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 that 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 the 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 slated 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.
Narain could not be reached for comment. A call to a phone number listed for her showed the number had been disconnected.
A message left for Farrell's lawyer was not immediately returned.
