Colin Farrell: I work well after partying

14th June 2012

Colin Farrell has joked he does his best work with a hangover.

The Irish actor appears in the upcoming Total Recall remake alongside Jessica Biel and Kate Beckinsale. A group of journalists were allowed to watch them shooting some sequences and were astounded by how quickly Colin worked. He was eager to set the record straight.

"You guys aren't recent arrivals, right? You have been here for an hour or two I'm assuming based on that question. That was rather we flew through that disappointingly quick I must say. It doesn't usually go so swimmingly. It must be the hangover," he laughed.

Jessica discussed how much fun she had shooting the sci-fi movie. She tried hard to make her character Melina believable, explaining the hardest part is putting emotion into action sequences.

The 30-year-old hasn't always been happy with her work, but thinks she has nailed it this time around.

"We are always doing all these crazy things, but you really do have to implement all of these thoughts behind it. Otherwise, it really is just vacant. Then you watch it later and you see it. I see it and I catch myself. I've done it before in films. I've seen my work and I've been really embarrassed," she told Cinemablend.

Among the scenes Jessica worked hard on is one where her character fights with Kate's, who is called Lori. She is proud of the sequence, with Colin insisting it is breath-taking.

"It's actually a really cool fight. I was a bit jealous and had a bit of envy," he laughed.
