Colin Farrell: Taking Heath Ledger's Role Is a "Painful Honor"
Thursday February 21, 2008
 James Devaney/WireImage Colin Farrell is proud to be a part of Heath Ledger's final film, The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus, which was unfinished when Ledger died last month. "I will be honored to be part of that," the actor told the Herald Sun. Farrell, Jude Law and Johnny Depp will split what remains of Ledger's role. "It makes me feel uncomfortable to think about it too much and to get into it really here but it's an incredibly painful honour to have, you know, and an honour I wish wasn't bestowed but an honour none-the-less," Farrell said. "It's about getting Heath's work out there, get his work out there, he's too good for any of his work not to be seen, you know, and I'm really keen and looking forward to doing it and just doing the best job I can do," the actor added. Ledger, 28, died of an accidental overdose of prescription drugs on Jan. 22. Join Us on Facebook and Twitter for even more up to the minute celebrity news and photos!

To whoever posted at 9:11, you're an a$$hole. That's also probably why you posted at 9:11. Both Heath and Colin were/are talented actors and deserve much more respect than that. RIP Heath, and good luck to Colin, Johnny, and Jude. I'm sure they'll all give wonderful performances and I can't wait to see it!

Colin is better looking and a better actor than brad pitt! colin and angelina's brake up was mutual , they both at that time ( year 2004) they were not in the same phase , angelina wanted to settle down , and colin didn't want to have a serious relationship specially with the born of his son , james ( which now we know james needed alot of attention and caring )so he was busy with his work and trying to be a good father to his son also colin and angie were too alike and had too many similarities. they both are good people but it wasn't right for them ,that is why it didn't work out for them they both are very nice to each other like friends are and they have thier own lives now and this is something in past which is done and they both might even forgot about it.

He has posted his personal ad to a celebrities dating site called 'Rich Loving. com' for several months. I just visited his profile page yesterday. It seems he has logged in recently. OMG, is he looking for a new relationship?

I have always liked Colin Farrell, despite the scrapes he's gotten himself in. I think that he has a good and true heart, and his words here are perfect.

Wow! he sure has matured alot and in a good way since starting out a couple years ago in Hollywood. Seems his stint in rehab actually DID help him. WTG! I hope his son is doing well.

I think Colin Farrell chose his words well! I know it would be hard to get the part that Heath once had, but Colin said it right-- It would be a huge honor to be chosen to fill the place. I think everyone that they chose to play the part will do an awesome job- I am looking forward to seeing it!! RIP Heathe-- and Good Luck to Colin, Johnny, and Jude. Post new comment |
