Colin is proud of his people

Colin Farrell, the pride of Castleknock, Ireland, is bursting with national pride as he witnesses a wave of Irish talent flooding Hollywood's elite.

The fact is, the little island is producing some of the most emblematic actors of our generation. Colin Farrell is perhaps chief among them.

"We punch so far above our weight," Farrell exclaimed to Entertainment Tonight, praising the storytelling prowess of his compatriots. With a population of just five million, Ireland's cultural giants are making global waves, from music to the silver screen!

Last month, the world watched in awe as Cillian Murphy snagged the coveted Oscar for Best Actor, a first for an Irish-born star.

"I'm a very proud Irishman standing here tonight," Murphy declared, his words resonating with the power of Ireland's artistic spirit.

But it's not just Murphy basking in the spotlight. Barry Keoghan, Andrew Scott, Kerry Condon, and Paul Mescal are among the fresh faces joining established icons like Saoirse Ronan and Liam Neeson. Farrell beams with pride, especially for his co-star Keoghan, "He's killing it," Farrell said, sharing their joyous reunion.
