As a fan who has followed Colin Farrell‘s career from his early days in Dublin to his current role as Oswald Cobblepot, I must say that his dedication to his craft is nothing short of remarkable. His transformation into The Penguin is a testament to his commitment to authenticity and immersion in the character he portrays.
How far is Colin Farrell prepared to push himself to deliver an authentic portrayal of Oswald Cobblepot (The Penguin) in the upcoming DC series? To achieve this, he endures extensive use of prosthetics, transforming him almost unrecognizably from his usual good-looking Irish self. Additionally, Farrell assumes a limp, which gives him a waddle and earns him the moniker ‘The Penguin’. Interestingly, we found out during a recent press event for the HBO series that beneath those tailored suits lies an unexpected secret about The Penguin.
I got the opportunity to speak with Colin Farrell and his Oscar-nominated makeup designer Michael Marino (The Penguin) about the work that they did on the series. Specifically, I wanted to ask about the design of Oz’s feet, which are part of the creation of his overall physical weaknesses. And then, out of nowhere, Farrell decided to add the following.

Consider this a little bit of a warning. Or a tease, depending on how you feel about Oz Cobb (Colin Farrell). But there’s a nude scene in Episode 1 of The Penguin, which will be available to those with a Max subscription beginning on Sept. 19. I won’t give you the details as to how and why we see Oz without his clothes on. But you do. It’s… something else.
Although Colin Farrell mentioned that his character in Oz was “accurately anatomical,” you’re not privy to seeing those private aspects of the character, as he playfully shared with makeup artist Michael Marino.
In the design of your Penguin model, there was absolutely no flaw or imperfection in the beak area. However, it wasn’t captured on film during our shooting process. Yet, I assure you that it was indeed present, as the design was completely accurate to a real penguin’s anatomy.
They didn’t capture “Penguin Pecker” during the filming of the eight episodes of The Penguin. Therefore, you can’t expect to find it in any deleted scenes or bonus features. It was a part of Farrell’s acting method, but it wasn’t included in the final version. Or, in other words, it was an on-set practice that didn’t make its way into the final product.
