Colin Farrell is back on the spot light as his film, The Lobster, is getting positive reviews. As per The Guardian, The Lobster managed to impress several critics at Cannes Film Festival. He's acting alongside Rachel Weisz and John Reilly which is directed by Yorgo Lanthimos. The film is set to hit the theaters on October 16.
The story is a bit far out. It's about single individuals tasked to find someone to fall in love with in a span of 45 days; otherwise, he or she will turn into an animal. The film hints a bit of humor as it is often describes as funny, but then it transitioned into a dark, violent film that would surely awe the audience.
During his interview with The Telegraph, Colin Farrell shared his innermost thoughts in sharing what he went through when he was going through sobriety.
"Cheese and pickle: that's as bacchanalian as it gets these days. What would his younger self think? 'If he heard me talking about yoga, he'd think "wanker!" He would've been uncomfortable sitting with someone that was quiet. It f***ing would've killed him. If 25-year-old Colin came in here now, I would have to leave the room."
He then added:
'I became a parody. Everything was magnified: the opportunities I had, the money I earned. So the smokescreen I created was magnified: it was the one true consistency I had. That was like a cancer after a while. If you build a dam, water becomes a bigger version of itself.
Then the dam broke, and I thought, "I don't know who I am any more, what I've become." One of the most liberating days of my life was in rehab, when I realized how many fears I had. Was I smart or dumb? Was I a good lover, son, father, actor?'
