Colin Farrell Talks 'Alexander The Great' Role


Colin Farrell spoke with BBC Radio 1 about his role as 20 year-old King of Macedonia in Alexander The Great, due to start filming in June and to be directed by Oliver Stone.

"Everything is in it. There's greed, there's jealousy, there's love, there's pain, there's hope, there's desperation, there's pride, there's friendship, there's betrayal. It's an amazing, amazing story."

"There's so much in it - it's so dense that it nearly reads like bad fiction. Obviously bisexual - which wasn't even an issue back then."

"There was no term for bisexuality - it was just the way society was. People made love to men and women. It was only later on you had to pick one side of the fence. It's amazing."
