Farrell revealed that the 2004 film “Alexander,” which starred Angelina Jolie and Val Kilmer as his royal parents, made him question his ability as an actor. “ ...

“I came blazing onto the scene with a bit of moxie and a bit of Irish this and that — ‘Fuck, I don’t give a shit about it!’ I was 23. It was insane how much money I was given, the keys to this, the keys to that. When you’re 23 and you actually care a lot, and you don’t know how to articulate that or have a relationship with that care, the easiest thing to do is to say you ‘don’t give a shit.’ This is not to apologize — I was a young man — but ‘Alexander’ really made me go, ‘I don’t know.'” So, as grand as it was, as global as it was, as political as it was, as thrilling as it was, as violent as it was, and as sensual as it was, it was really personal — to Oliver and to me.” He added, “There wasn’t any Rotten Tomatoes then, so they had all the printed reviews, and one after another was telling me to pack my bags, I’d been found out: ‘Alexander the Dull,’ ‘Alexander the Boring,’ ‘Alexander the Inarticulate,’ ‘Alexander the Weak.’ I was like, ‘Holy shit.’ I thought, ‘What can I do?’ I felt so much shame. The “incredible” production left the cast of “Alexander” with expectations for Oscar nominations.

Farrell, who portrayed Pádraic Súilleabháin in the tragicomedy, won his second Golden Globe.
