00:00So fans of The Penguin were in for a bit of a shock after HBO released a video of Colin Farrell in his full wardrobe and makeup speaking in his Irish accent.
00:13Now, we haven't seen this before. They've done a really good job of like, when you see him as The Penguin, he's got that thick New York accent.
00:20But in this video, he's thanking the cast and crew. He's actually in what he's wearing in the final scene.
00:26I've loved every minute of it, even when I wasn't loving it. And I just feel so grateful and humbled and blessed by being a part of this collective.
00:34But I won't miss the suit. And I won't miss the f***ing voice.
00:40But can I tell you what I don't understand about this? I'm clearly missing something.
00:44Colin Farrell has been around for 20 years. And we've heard him speak a million times.
00:49When you watch the show, you don't see Colin Farrell.
00:51No, I get that. But everybody knows he's Irish.
00:53Right, right. It's like seeing a department store Santa having a cigarette. Like, it ruins the magic.
01:00Thanks, everyone.
