Being the comic book villain The Penguin was a “weird” transformation for actor Colin Farrell. The actor attended the New York City red carpet premiere of his new series, which is based on the role he portrayed in “The Batman.”

According to ‘People’ magazine, he contacted me after getting a peek of his makeover into Oz Cobb.

Have you ever seen cats gazing in the mirror at themselves? He stated, “It was strange. How do they recoil and they just don’t know (it’s them)?”

‘People’ reports that he said, ‘It’s not like I ever entirely lost sense of myself, but it was a really powerful thing to know oneself a particular way for 45 years and to see a mirror,’ even with the theatrical makeup and costumes. Additionally, it helped me realize how much I related to my appearance.

“I had more of a blank slate than I usually have (going) to work as soon as I looked into the mirror and none of me was there,” he said, giving thanks to showrunner Lauren LeFranc and her writing team for filling that “blank slate.”

“It was fantastic,” he continued. It had a tremendous amount of power. The encounter had a very strong, almost mesmerizing quality to it.

The ‘Sugar’ actor gave thanks to Mike Marino, an artist, for turning him into the Penguin. Having collaborated with the artist on ‘The Batman’ in 2022, Farrell remarked of him, “He created this beautiful puppet and I got to animate it, and it was of joy.”

After collaborating with Marino and makeup artist Mike Fontaine for a limited number of moments in “The Batman,” the “True Detective” star also revealed to Variety last year that he yearned for more chances to portray the role.

Sincerely speaking, the idea he had for a longer series had to do with Mike Marino’s contributions. I just understood that there was a lot to consider when aging anything.
