Colin Farrell was born in Ireland, his family is very athletic, his father and uncle are still football stars, which naturally affected him, originally wanted to become a football player, but in the middle of the road but became fascinated by acting, so he began to change his goals and learn to act.
In 2000, Colin Farrell made his film debut as a rebellious recruit in Tiger Camp, a good start, and for his role he won the Boston Film Critics Association Award for Best Actor, giving him the opportunity to develop into Hollywood.
After that, he starred in the film "Hart's War" with Hollywood action star Bruce Willis, co-produced the film "Minority Report" with Tom Cruise, and won the Best Villain Award for the cold killer in the movie "Daredevil".
In 2004, he was fortunate to be selected as the star of the film "Alexander the Great", which was very hard to shoot, he also broke his arm and broke his ankle, but he interpreted the complexity and inner darkness of Alexander's role very well, and the film received good reviews after its release.
But whether an actor can succeed sometimes depends on vision and luck, his later development momentum is not very strong, most of the movies received have not attracted a lot of attention, and the popularity in Hollywood is also insufficient, which is a pity.
