. “To be honest with you, I’m a big girl’s blouse. I wouldn’t be into spiders and stuff. I wouldn’t be a fan of things with more than four legs. I get suspicious,” said Dublin born actor.
“Snakes I don’t mind. I wouldn’t like one wrapped around my neck or taking a lump out of me but I don’t mind them too much,” he added.
Farrell stars with Ed Harris, Jim Sturgess and Saoirse Ronan in
