Colin Farrell has turned into a new man recently. Showing a much more vulnerable and mature side than in the past, Farrell has opened up about personal issues and become introspective. Colin recently spoke about his addictions and the pressures of fame, and now, he’s talking about the effect the bombing of his film Alexander, and his performance in it, had on him.
“Alexander hurt, you know — and again people are going to say ‘Get over it, you were well paid’ and all that. But Alexander hurt,” Farrell told reporters.
“The response that it got was really painful and all of us got a really hard time, and I didn’t come across too well either in the majority of reviews and even with the audiences — people did not respond to it.
“It was a film that was made to be seen by many people. Not many people saw it and they weren’t particularly fond of it, and that was s—-, it was really s—-,” he said.
“I took it to heart. I felt like I had let a lot of people down, I felt like I had disappointed a lot of people … And it took a while to get over that,” Farrell said.
