Colin Farrell named one of Time Magazine’s 100 most influential people of 2023

One of his former co-stars wrote in praise of the Irish actor for the magazine.

Following his recent Golden Globe win and Oscar nomination, Colin Farrell has been included on Time magazine's list of the 100 "most influential people" in 2023. 2022 was a great year for the Irish star, with the actor having appeared in the Academy Award Best Picture nominee The Banshees of Inisherin, the smash-hit blockbuster The Batman, the Thai cave rescue thriller Thirteen Lives and the acclaimed sci-fi drama After Yang. It is thanks to this recent work that Farrell made the Time100 list in the "artists" section. Writing in praise of the actor for the magazine, his former co-star Nicole Kidman said:

"When Colin Farrell and I starred together in the 2017 films The Beguiled and The Killing of a Sacred Deer, I felt like I had found both my knight in shining armor and my partner in crime. "He was very emotionally open with me, and I’m very protective of him. I admire his tenacity, his resilience, and his great sense of humor. He’s got such an Irish kind of sensibility."

Kidman went on to describe Farrell as "an actor's actor", stating that he is "not frightened of tone or genre" and that "ego is not attached to his performances".
