Alexander director Oliver Stone has praised Colin Farrell for his part in the 2004 movie.
The Irish actor took on the lead role of Alexander The Great in the film, which was slated by movie critics three years ago. Stone has now spoke out in support of Farrell for his commitment to the project and the "great" performance he put in.
"The guy literally, and much to his credit, could tumble into the makeup chair in the morning with no sleep," Stone is quoted by the Evening Echo as saying. "He'd sleep for an hour during makeup and then be perfect, and alert, and then he'd know the other person's lines as well as his own. There's something extraordinary in his makeup.
"Colin really killed himself in that performance and he did a great job. He was shattered [by the criticism]. But I hope he comes back and I think he will. It was a rough as any young actor could have to go through."
