Colin Farrell Unconcerned By Awards

Colin Farrell is philosophical about acting awards.

The Irish actor has been lauded for his starring role in 'The Lobster', but has revealed he doesn't get overly-concerned about winning gongs for his on-screen performances.

He shared: ''If the film is received well, and people go and see it and like it, that'd be amazing. Anything else, any of those awards things, they're fun: you obviously don't take them seriously. But if you completely go, 'It means nothing,' then ... it does mean nothing.

''Everything means f**king nothing, if you really want to break it down and get down to it.''

Colin piled on the pounds to star opposite Rachel Weisz in the sci-fi comedy movie - but it wasn't an experience he enjoyed.

He told Shortlist: ''It was fun for about two days. And then I was over-eating cheeseburgers for breakfast. I ate like a fool, you know? Chocolates and biscuits beside the bed. I'd wake up at three in the morning and, with my eyes closed, just get eating.

''At the start, I was having to shovel it in, and by the end, to keep my body going, I had to eat every few hours.''
