As a long-time fan who has followed Colin Farrell‘s career since his early days in Dublin, I must say that his transformation into the Penguin for HBO’s The Batman spin-off series was nothing short of breathtaking. However, the recently leaked video of him speaking in his native Irish accent while fully costumed as the Penguin left me totally gobsmacked!
Colin Farrell’s portrayal of The Penguin for HBO’s The Batman spin-off series (aired during the 2024 TV schedule) has left everyone speechless, but a recent clip of him speaking in his native Irish accent while fully costumed has sent fans into a frenzy. I must admit, it’s giving me quite the shock too!
The video originally shared on HBO’s TikTok account (Via @Joe.ie on Instagram; HBO has deleted the original video), captured Farrell addressing the crew in a heartfelt farewell speech after wrapping the crime-thriller series finale. In the video, the Irish-born Hollywood A-lister switches from his melodic lilt to the gruff New York growl he uses as Gotham’s infamous crime lord in the acclaimed show. In the clip, you can hear The Lobster star saying:
I have loved every minute of it, even when I wasn’t loving it… I just feel so grateful and humbled and blessed by being part of this collective.
The authenticity of his statement becomes comically undermined when the actor from In Bruges, with all his Penguin costume and props intact, humorously discusses the hardships he faced during the character transformation. He added:
I won’t miss the suit or the fucking voice!
The dedication of the actor playing Banshees of Inisherin to his role is well-known. To become Oswald Cobblepot, he underwent numerous hours each day of prosthetics (even some with precise anatomical details) and makeup, a grueling process that ultimately made him unrecognizable. Both fans and critics have praised his commitment, commenting on how the character’s physicality and voice enriched the show with depth.
As a dedicated gamer, I must confess that the viral clip, which has since been deleted, provided an exciting backstage look. However, it also revealed a glimpse of Colin Farrell’s palpable exhaustion as we approached the end of the series production. The charismatic Irish actor has been open about his eagerness for the project to conclude during filming. For a moment, this revelation gave me pause regarding the continuity of The Penguin. Fortunately, reassuring words from The Batman‘s architect, Matt Reeves, have rekindled my faith that we’ll witness Farrell’s remarkable portrayal of Cobblepot once more.
For enthusiasts of “The Batman” universe, Farrell’s portrayal of the classic Batman Rogues Gallery character, the Penguin, is undeniably one of the finest among many outstanding performances in this role. This viral video further underscores the effort and dedication put into transforming the actor into such a memorable on-screen villain.
If you’re as fascinated by Colin Farrell’s remarkable metamorphosis into the Penguin as I am, this is an excellent opportunity to explore this intense and engrossing series. From his exceptional acting skills to the meticulous craftsmanship in his character’s appearance, he delivers a performance that has already gained recognition at the Golden Globes.
