It's been almost a year since Colin went to an Arizona rehabilitation center as a "preventive measure" to maintain his sobriety last April.
He had given up on drugs and alcohol 13 years ago, claiming that he "could never find the hand brake".
And after a moment of lack of spotlight, Colin returns in the remake of Dumbo, alongside DeVito.
Speaking of his recent break, Colin revealed, "I took eight or nine months off. It was good to be at home with the guys.

New movie: The men play in the reboot of the Disney clbadic, Dumbo, which, according to Colin, is decidedly "not cool" for his children
I had traveled so much that I stayed on the road for six or seven months. Nothing turns in Hollywood, they do not really make movies anymore.
Colin explained how he had spent his hiatus at the movies: "I'm trying to follow these two types. I'm going to work to rest. These are the loves of my life but they are intense little guys.
"School races, baths, lunches, maybe hiking, movies and everything else.
Colin previously revealed that his teenage son James had been diagnosed with Angelman Syndrome in 2017.
Angelman Syndrome is a rare neuro-genetic disorder characterized by developmental delays, lack of speech, convulsions and insufficient balance.
When Jonathan asked him if his children were keen to see him go back to work, he confessed, "Oh yes, absolutely, they're done. They packed my bags.

He said, "My documents generally deal with domestic violence and alcohol and drug addiction. Art never imitates life of course. The first are not the last.
He added, "My nine year old son was not so impressed when I told him I was playing at Dumbo. I thought I had brownie points. I do not know, I just think that he thought that a flying elephant was not cool. & # 39;
Meanwhile, Danny confessed to having watched the original Dumbo over 100 times and even hinted that there was a restart of the clbadic Twins movie in preparation.
Asked about the status of an alleged sequel with Arnold Schwarzenegger, Danny said, "We are talking about making triplets. If you remember that there was a badtail at Twins, we mixed it up and then you ended up with these two gene pools, Arnold and me.
"It was a strange little movie. We thought you could probably turn another portion of this badtail into something else.
Jimmy Carr, Nicola Adams and Lolly Adefope will also be part of the Jonathan Ross Show show Saturday night.
