[@markmarsh27]

The story of how Colin Farrell, my VERY favourite human being, became the literal Saint of Toronto about 20 years ago is beautiful: he was here for The Toronto Film Festival and met a homeless guy on the street. He took him for a fancy steak dinner and then rented him an apartment, paying the rent for a YEAR! Then, when he was back for the festival a year later he visited his new friend, found that he was working on his sobriety but still not employed and he paid the rent for another f***ing year. I still tear up whenever I think about what a totally f***ing amazing human being he is.

[@SandraRamirez-gf1zp]

I love that Colin seems genuinely interested in Sean too. He seems so great and friendly

[@PCGGC]

"Have you built up a tolerance or is it just a familiarity with the pain so you know what to expect?" fantastic life lessons with Colin Farrell

[@drinfernodds]

I think it's both. As a fellow Sean who always eats spicy stuff, experience and expectations can go a long way in how you react to spice. Unless its Da Bomb, I expected the worst and it was even worse than that.

[@PCGGC]

@@drinfernodds for sure you definitely do build up a tolerance. I've been eating spicy and doing challenges for about 20 years and definitely can handle more easily than I used to. Paqui One Chip Challenge 2021 was super easy for me, the 9 million schoville chocolate didn't make me sick either haha but I love Torchbearer sauces and Last Dab sauces regularly, anything with super heat as long as it isn't full of cheap capsaicin oil. The expectation and knowing what's going to happen and mentally preparing for it for sure keep you from being as affected too

[@JaluAndura]

No matter how famous he is, I still think he's underrated. The way he took a big bite every time is amazing.

[@Joe-sm7mf]

he has taken full advantage of an accent that he struggles to keep.

He seems like such a bright mind, who thinks very deeply and is able to express himself in an excellent way. That has been eye opening to me. That is another aspect I love about these interviews, how Sean always finds a way to provide a platform where the guests can give whatever they want to in their own way. And Colin delivers. For me personally, this is the best Hot Ones, due to the way Colin formulates his thoughts. Such an interesting mind, and a lovely fellow.

The Irish have such a wonderful outlook on Life --- bittersweet, appreciative, joyous, deep, poetic, sad, humorous, realistic... and Colin's got it all. Love him.

I’m just gonna take a moment to appreciate two things: 1. He fully understands how lucky he is to have the job he has with the “one for me” In joke! and seems to be one of the very few “genuine” people actors out there! 2. He grossly underestimates his American accent in Phone booth! Cheers Colin, you’re a talent sir!🙏 Sean, make sure you take up Colin’s offer for recommendations and get to Ireland this year!

[@Elias-True]

I was going to say the same about the accent! I had no idea he wasn’t American up until this interview

Always liked Colin Farrell. He brings this gregarious energy to his work and appearances. You always forget that he’s been around for a while, I first saw him in minority report which is twenty years old this year! Now he’s playing the penguin in batman and he’s amazing! I also loved him as bullseye in daredevil. He seems so down to earth, the type of dude you could just have a pint with and a chill.

Its refreshing to see him as himself here. Also funny to see that he (seems like to me) exaggerated his Irish accent as Bullseye. Here his accent seems decently mild. Unless he's lost it a little through the years. Anyhow, love this man. Very genuine.
