Colin to take on Clift?

February 16, 2011

By Staff Reporter

The actor is still working hard — and reportedly playing just as hard — in Morocco, where he’s filming “Alexander the Great.” One story making the rounds is that his hijinks (including flashing his bits) so annoyed fellow celeb Angelina Jolie that she checked out of the five-star hotel they were both staying in. Which was a bit premature, anyway, since Colin later swapped the posh digs for the more modest hotel that housed his drinking buddies in the film crew. Work on the remote location prevented the actor from attending either the recent Irish Film and Television Network Awards, or the birth of his son, James. And pictures leaked from the set show the hunky actor looking buffed, clean shaven and, um, blond. (Actually, the kid’s got more highlights than a Westchester mall rat.) Well, two out of three ain’t bad.
Anyway, we hear that Colin has been approached to play the late actor Montgomery Clift in a big screen biography next year. Nothing’s been signed yet, but the website showbizireland.com reports that director James Foley thinks Farrell is the perfect fit for the role of the tragic Hollywood star, who died in 1966 at the age of 45.
