Colin Farrell Talks Fame

Colin Farrell recently appeared on The Tavis Smiley Show, where he talked about fame. Here's what he had to say, as reprinted by Page Six:

"Well, I was about as close to an overnight success in regards to the commercial stuff that came early on … it all happened really, really fast. So I can’t believe in the lie that’s being presented to me anymore: that I’m a movie star and that everything is great.  have this No. 1 movie, that one. Everyone is telling me now that that’s gone. So it was kind of like, ugh … all of it’s a delusion. Telling me it’s gone is a delusion. Ever believing that it was there in the first place is a delusion. When I used to go, ‘I don’t care about any of it,’ I really cared then. I just didn’t know how to acknowledge it or express my caring. I didn’t understand it. Now, I still care, but I care less, really. And it’s freed me up. That’s the irony, it’s freed me up.”
