Colin Farrell Beefing Up For 'Alexander The Great'
[Thursday, May 29th, 2003]TeenHollywood are reporting that actor Colin Farrell will be bulking up for his role in Oliver Stone's Alexander so that he can handle the physical activity involved.
The Irish playboy is set to woo thousands of female fans by gaining an extra 20lbs to play Alexander the Great.
But the hell-raising hunk claims he never works out and will struggle to get in perfect shape to play the legendary warrior.
The 26-year-old star said: "I don't work out - no way. I've done a couple of times for various gigs but not much. Nothing like what I'll need to do for Alexander. I'll have to put on about 20lb of muscle."
"There'll be so much swordplay - I mean, he was a hunter when he was two years old, killing wild boars. So there's a bit of catching up to do."
