COLIN FARRELL - COLIN WILL BE GREAT AS GAY ALEXANDER

Hollywood hell-raiser COLIN FARRELL is looking forward to playing the role of ALEXANDER THE GREAT - even though he'll be performing sex scenes with men and women.

The acting star will play the title role in OLIVER STONE's forthcoming epic and, even though he's famed for his womanising ways, he's not concerned about playing the sexually inquisitive conqueror.

He says, "Alexander The Great was bisexual. It was just the way society existed back then. It was about making love to men and women."
