Hollywood’s favourite Irishman Colin Farrell doesn’t care if his movies flop at the box office and why would he seeing as he still gets to pocket the millions.
The Dubliner said that he was disappointed by Total Recall’s box office summer flop, but revealed that he doesn’t let it get to him because he is more concerned about being a good daddy.
According to The Irish Sun, Colin said: “Yeah it is disappointing when 200 people work on something for six months and it doesn’t find the audience it was designed to find.
“Personally, I identify less with the results of films than I used to, which is a good thing.
“My identification with being an actor has been diluted with my identification of being a friend, a brother, a lover or being a dad.

“I didn’t read the reviews for Total Recall, which means I don’t identify with it that much.”
Colin will next appear alongside Christopher Walkin in the black comedy Seven Psychopaths.
The actor said his success has allowed him to pick roles that he enjoys, which he wasn’t able to do early in his career.
“There is an inherent success when a film is made.
“It’s such a crazy endeavour and there are so many different factors that need to come together to bring a film to realisation even if it’s the biggest piece of sh*t ever.
“Honest to God, there’s such an opportunity to have fun doing what I do that to not explore it in the most refined way would be a gift-horse-mouth long stare,” he said.
