Colin Farrell has opened up about the intense time filming Oliver Stone’s 2004 epic historical drama “Alexander.”
The actor — in a joint interview with his “A Big Bold Beautiful Journey” co-star Margot Robbie for Collider — revealed that the Battle of Gaugamela was the “hardest sequence” of his career, noting that it was shot over four weeks in the desert of Morocco.
After Robbie asked if the sequence involved elephants, Farrell clarified that shooting the Battle of the Hydaspes was “the most dangerous thing” he’s “ever been a part of.”
“They would say action and there was eight head of elephant, 200 head of horse and 800 background, 800 foreground, 800 x, 800 Thai men who would move,” Farrell explained.
“Wow, that’s crazy!” Robbie remarked.
