Colin Farrell and Hugh Grant Like That They’re Not as Famous as They Used to Be

Colin Farrell and Hugh Grant bonded over the fact that, as they’ve gotten older, they’ve been more left alone. The two discussed their privacy during Season 5 of Variety and PBS’ “Actors on Actors.”
“It all went mad so fast for me. I had a period of maybe five or six years of incredible fame and recognizability,” Farrell told Grant.”I’m glad that period of madness is over for me and my life.”
He added, “Social media I don’t have, and I feel very outside of it.”
Grant replied, “I’m in the same kind of boat. I’m more left alone which I was, which is absolutely delightful.”
The interview will air in its entirety on Variety’s “Actors on Actors” Season 5, presented by The Venetian Las Vegas, which debuts on PBS SoCal on Jan. 3.

Farrell is from an educated/cultured Irish background & he is typically smart, I'm Irish & would expect almost everyone from that to be same, so, for instance, way ahead of a similar American. Did not like him or see the quality until In Bruges, a Classic upon release (very rare). Side note on Grant, another actor I just did not like at all until he was Top Gear guest & saw he is clearly smarter, more objective, than most.

It also helps when your stardom can’t rescue a bad film or, to some, a pretentious or arty film. Not that these are bad films, that’s not the point. But studio execs need their films to make money, and will ride the wave of the stars who are in the public eye from the most recent blockbuster. These guys have experienced first hand that fame can be fleeting and are looking for balance both professionally and in life. They know they are lucky enough to have choices but have to work hard to keep having that choice. That makes them relatable, always a nice quality for anyone to have.

Granted, this is at least a dark villainous character, but I've started to bore of this line of role from Depp. The issues in his personal life are troubling, and at least need some vigilance paid to them. As for Fantastic Beasts though, Farrell did such good work as a menacing charmer. It did seem like a waste to lose that.

Wow. Never been a huge fan of Colin, & never seen him outside of him being in work mode- Flabbergasted that he’s so eloquently spoken & composes himself as well as he does. Huge admiration for how he portrayed himself here.

[@MLD.Ltd.]

I dont know if they’d ever been in other films together or not, but The Gentleman (2020) by Guy Ritchie is a must watch!!! I watched it over and over on Netflix and I LOVE it! Also, they both represent a generation of actors and dare i say it even the British film industries these days don’t make actors like that any more. I miss the Golden Ages of the British films.

[@chaimdb8]

It's called The Gentlemen and it's from 2019 and yes it's absolutely fantastic and hilarious

[@dimitrisbam5640]

The surprise of so many people about Collins eloquence shows what a great actor he is

[@cherryblossomtree44]

This was really good I really like how Collin responded and how high phrased his questions

[@chloehamid8065]

Anyone notice when Hugh said “links” Colin started miming spraying himself with deodorant? You can take the boy out of Dublin, as they say! 😜

[@johnnythunders78]

I immediately noticed it and chuckled, remembering Alan Partridge's "Lynx! Well smelt! Java! Voodoo!" :p :p

[@AS-ve4vv]

Hugh didn't have a clue. Different worlds.

[@rockafella1690]

@@AS-ve4vv Maybe he uses a 'roll on'.

[@thedoftranquillity]

Or has an underling deodorize him.

I noticed it but couldn’t understand the context.

[@panocasabe8227]

Ive seen several of these actor on actor interviews, and hands down, Colin Farrell has been the best guest so far. This clip right here shows a real human being, honest and poignant, a person you already respect because we KNOW this guy could be a big star if he wanted to. This question has already been answered if we just take a look at his his career, even is he said he would go either way.

[@jonathandavis1230]

Collin Farrell is so well spoken

[@RB621337]

I could listen to these two talk for years

[@muzikheswa3955]

Hugh Grant has an incredible way of expressing his veiws. He's a genius

[@caragray7010]

Colin is way different than l thought he would be, that Irish accent is nice to listen to. Nice guy.

[@tadghmurphy7807]

This is more of a mid Atlantic accent that Colin has. Well pronounced is not how we do it in Ireland..

[@Honoshan]

Two very intelligent and humble dudes. Best interview I have had the pleasure to view in years.

[@TheVivienne1990]

What a conversation!

[@pandemits]

Amazing interview and a surprisingly deep insight into those brilliant actors' mentality.

[@ieatgremlins]

Colin is such a great actor. I LOVE the project he chooses.

[@paulbunyon2889]

I love their realness and self awareness. And honesty. Without ego

[@ludwigstenberg1050]

One of my all-time favorites. Fantastic.

[@katrabbit]

the young girl in my soul is still so sweet on Colin Farrel and his old "bad boy" image 😈

[@stickyfinger6062]

I think Colon always has that in him, a streak of that "bad boy" attitude. That just makes him so attractive in my eyes

[@whatistau]

If you haven’t seen Woody Allen’s “Cassandra’s Dream” Colin Farrell is very good in this . Just like “In Bruges”

[@Buxenwolf]

I’ve met ewan mcgregor and I briefly spoke to him about how I am glad he started to work again with Danny Boyle Although I was so star struck I forgot to mention Cassandras dream beginners and the fill ewan directed 😭

[@zoeyan708]

Colin Farrell is so well-spoken!

[@ayeshabrown4933]

Love how honest this was!!

[@fedebjalways]

Had no idea Colin was so deep... Guess it's the relaxing nature of this show. Great pair of actors, wish both the best in their careers and in their lives. They have both entertained me, so I think they are both nice people.
