Colin’s a cut above

February 16, 2011

By Staff Reporter

Yes, yes, I know he’s cute. But you’ve been warned.
If only we’d been able to warn Gary Stretch in time, he’s have avoided a trip to the hospital last week. Farrell’s “Alexander the Great” costar found himself on the business end of a sword while the two were filming a fight scene for the movie. The sword made it through layers of protective padding and left Stretch with a souvenir stab wound.
Colin was suitably apologetic, but Stretch, a former professional boxer, took the incident in stride.
“It’s a very minor wound,” he shrugged.
“It’s one of those movies where these kinds of things happen,” he added. “We’ve all got a few bangs and scratches.”
