LILY COLE TALKS ABOUT COLIN IN DR. PARNASSUS

Lily Cole admits she and Colin Farrell were initially uncomfortable when the actor took over the late Heath Ledger's role in 'The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus'.

She said: "Colin was good friends with Heath so it started to feel like the right things to do. It honoured the work and effort Heath had put in for the last few months. But I remember just crying on the first day of doing it, because it was such a bizarre thing".

"It was strange for Colin too. You've lost a friend recently and you're having to look at clips of your friend's performance and mimic him. It was an incredibly brave and lovely thing for him to do and I think he found it an incredibly hard week."

Lily has been praised for her performance in the movie, and she credits the late star with helping boost her confidence.

Following the death of Heath, Colin, Johnny Depp and Jude Law agreed to take over his role of Tony and donated their fees to the late actor's two-year-old daughter Matilda.

  1. I think that's the real Colin. It must have been hard work to do. He gets beat up too much by everyone even fans. I watched Pride & Glory again last night and he's a brave, wonderful actor.

  2. I agree^. I think underneath all the hype, he's a decent guy. I also loved him in Pride and Glory. I thought he was brilliant in it.

  3. I'm glad you're here Virgo. There seems to be lots of beating on Colin even here but he is very talented and a good guy. It is nice to see the comments from people who respect him.

  4. He's surely talended actor and seems like good person, but he's also a little bit Hollywood princess like most of them. I'm curious about all this new roles and movies they seem to be different more ambitious, good for him. He surely did a great job in "In Bruges"

  5. Well there's no way that raking in all that money and having the Hollyweird party circuit handed to you doesn't influence your behaviour some how, especially when you're 20-something and gorgeous. I mean can you imagine? But now that he's got the partying behind him, he does seem like just a normal guy who has grown up and happens to be head turning good looking and rich, lol. Even when he was wild boy, he seemed down to earth. You heard about his partying and womanizing, but I never heard stories about him being a jerk or treating people badly or destroying hotel rooms. He was a kid in the middle of an adult playground. He played, got it out of his system and now just seems to be just living his life.

  6. Agreed Virgo. He has a sweet sad thoughtful look in the face too. I believe he is good hearted. Talented sexy and gorgeous too. He won't be rich for much longer if he doesn't figure out condoms. :-)
