'When you get to meet Colin Farrell up close in personal and talk to him while he shot his music, such a gentleman,' the caption read.
The video starts with Nino's mum telling Colin her son wants to speak to him for 'just one second,' with the Dubliner instantly getting out of his car and introducing himself.

'How you doing? How's school going, man?' Colin asked after a hug, with the young fan's mum noting they were 'having a little tough time with it.'
Colin said: 'School is tough. They were the worst days of my life, for what it's worth. Life only gets better, man.'
