  • Colin Farrell and Hugh Grant bonded over the fact that, as they’ve gotten older, they’ve been more left alone. The two discussed their privacy during Season 5 of Variety and PBS’ “Actors on Actors.”
    “It all went mad so fast for me. I had a period of maybe five or six years of incredible fame and recognizability,” Farrell told Grant.”I’m glad that period of madness is over for me and my life.”
    He added, “Social media I don’t have, and I feel very outside of it.”
    Grant replied, “I’m in the same kind of boat. I’m more left alone which I was, which is absolutely delightful.”
    The interview will air in its entirety on Variety’s “Actors on Actors” Season 5, presented by The Venetian Las Vegas, which debuts on PBS SoCal on Jan. 3.

      We have a good educational system here in Ireland. English syllabus at my time in secondary school had us studying everything from the great Irish poets, to learning Shakespeare and BryceShelly and Keats. I even remember the Canterbury tales in one of my poetry books for leaving cert (final exams before third level).

      Farrell is from an educated/cultured Irish background & he is typically smart, I'm Irish & would expect almost everyone from that to be same, so, for instance, way ahead of a similar American. Did not like him or see the quality until In Bruges, a Classic upon release (very rare). Side note on Grant, another actor I just did not like at all until he was Top Gear guest & saw he is clearly smarter, more objective, than most.

      It also helps when your stardom can’t rescue a bad film or, to some, a pretentious or arty film. Not that these are bad films, that’s not the point. But studio execs need their films to make money, and will ride the wave of the stars who are in the public eye from the most recent blockbuster.
      These guys have experienced first hand that fame can be fleeting and are looking for balance both professionally and in life. They know they are lucky enough to have choices but have to work hard to keep having that choice. That makes them relatable, always a nice quality for anyone to have.

      The issues in his personal life are troubling, and at least need some vigilance paid to them.

It is so true about actors, many don't realise that most audiences just want to be entertained and aren't really bothered by the actors ability to act or if they might win a Oscar.

    I agree. I was just thinking of this. There's something amazing and charming about being that actor where people are like "hey I've seen him/her before! I can't remember what but they were good!" than being someone who's in a big franchise or a summer blockbuster. Like a Steve Buscemi or Philip Seymour Hoffman. They are true chameleons due to the fact that they pop up in these films here and there as supporting or minor characters but they're all completely different people. I just think of it as "hey I can be a Tom Cruise or I can be a Philip Seymore Hoffman and appear in a Mission Impossible movie as the villian but still carry all these pop-in rolls in movies like Boogie Nights and Almost Famous". I think there's something cool about being lesser-known, more underground to where people can pick you out than always being in the spotlight 25/8. Like Denzel Washington said, "as an actor your brand is being good, not being known." And sometimes actors get the best of both worlds where they're lesser-know and underground for the longest time but then get there big break in an iconic role and become an a-lister. Or even the opposite like these two from being extremely popular to being more in the shadows. Its not about being that actor that's "wow he used to be in everything, really popular and now he's like never seen" or being "washed-up". There's nothing wrong with that. Fame doesn't last forever. At some point people's careers die down some and there's no problem with that.

    Colin Farrell is probably the most articulate actor that I've ever listened to. For such a traditionally handsome guy he seems genuinely intelligent which is a rare quality these days. Maybe it's his European up-bringing. And unlike other actors who try to create a veneer of intelligence and use "big" words to say something that (if you listen closely) amounts to utter bullshit what he's saying actually has a lot of substance to it.

    I love their realness and self awareness. And honesty. Without ego

    you know these are the types of actors I respect, just generally smart, down to earth and even kind of self deprecating to an extend. I could very well imagine these two sitting at a bar and being interesting fellas to talk to
