COLIN FARRELL - FARRELL INSPIRED BY KIDMAN'S BEAUTY

COLIN FARRELL felt compelled to take his acting career seriously after sneaking onto the set of TOM CRUISE and NICOLE KIDMAN's movie FAR + AWAY as a kid. The Irish actor was instantly smitten with Kidman and fascinated by the workings of a blockbuster film set - and he promised himself he'd do what he could to be part of Hollywood. He says, "I remember when Far And Away was shooting in Dublin and I was 11 or 12, I just walked onto the set. "It was quite a sight seeing all the big lights and I saw Ms. Kidman from a distance, from about 15 yards, and she was gorgeous, striking. It was magical."
