Movie actor [Colin Farrell](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/colin-farrell) had to perfect his horse-riding skills in preparation for his role in historical biopic [Alexander](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/alexander).

The Irish-born actor - who plays Macedonian conqueror ALEXANDER THE GREAT alongside co-stars [Angelina Jolie](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/angelina-jolie) and [Val Kilmer](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/val-kilmer) in the [Oliver Stone](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/oliver-stone) film - spent months riding horses to perfect his equestrian skills.

Farrell says, "I had to ride without a saddle, something I haven't done before.

"It's a pain in the b\*\*\*\*\*\*s, quite literally."
