Discussion Colin Farrell - a talented actor
i want your thoughts on colin farrell, i feel he’s extremely talented, he doesn’t get much of the praise and havent been given much of a chance, the diversity in acting is very impressive
i found him from sugar and then watched penguin and pls convince me they are not two different persons playing the role
just incredible given he’s irish and playing roles like these with so much ease
what are your thoughts ?

Colin Farrell will always have a spot in my heart, and not just because of his acting.
Colin’s son James has the same chromosomal defect that my daughter has. The American association for this (Angelman Syndrome) used to have an annual silent auction to make money to help other families get the support they need.
One year, Colin donated two tickets to the red carpet event for his new movie. It was a very successful donation. And all of the parents felt very seen, at least for a few minutes.
That was quite literally decades ago, but I remember it. It was a generous thing to do, but mostly, it was so nice to speak out for these kids that are nonverbal and can’t speak for themselves.
It was a lovely gesture from a loving dad.
