Of all the celebs I've had the pleasure of interviewing, Colin Farrell was one such person I had yet to strike off my list, until last week of course.
The sound-as-a-pound Irish heart throb who you'll know from such movies as Phone Box (oops, we mean Booth) and Intermission, not to mention the stuff that's earned him worldwide acclaim such as Minority Report and In Bruges, was an absolute gent to chat with. We spoke about everything from his current role as an alcoholic in Disney's Saving Mr Banks to why he's never done a rom-com. We also spoke about the tendency of celebrities to let fame go their heads, how important it is to stay grounded, and how we consider Colin to be one of Ireland's proudest exports. Does he see himself that way? Not at all. He also mentions Britney. SCANDAL!
Saving Mr Banks hits Irish cinemas on November 29th and you can check out the interivew right here right now.
You can also catch Saving Mr Banks at the Cork Film Festival on Sunday 17th November at 6pm.
