Colin Farrell as a vampire
Speaking to the Sunday Times magazine, Farrell said, “Obviously I'm not a doctor but you don't have to have a degree in medicine to know when your body's shutting down. I genuinely didn't think I had much longer. I'd reached the point where the only voices that had any clarity in the room were the voices of destruction and obliteration.”
He added, “I've been an addict since I was a kid. I'm not joking man - you can ask my mother. I had a Lion Bar addiction for six months when I was seven. Then I had a Coco Pops addiction. I'd go on Smash mashed potato binges, tins of tuna benders. Anything. I'd get addicted to a crosswind. Whatever made me feel good.”
