Colin Farrell will never star in a big budget movie again - because he is sick of working for producers whose sole aim is to make money.
The Hollywood star - who spearheaded the blockbusters 'Alexander' in 2004 and 2006's 'Miami Vice' - has learned from his experiences on mega-budget productions, and is adamant he will never be part of such a high-pressure working environment again.
"If you are on a film such as 'Miami Vice' or 'Alexander' that has a budget that is healthily north of $100m (€64m), you can pretend that it's all about the work, but there's a certain amount of pressure.
"You have decided to walk into a world where the most important thing is financial return and you are going to get a call on Saturday telling you what the Friday opening was.
"I've been on the receiving end of a couple of those calls and it's horsesh**t. I don't want to play in that world any more."

Colin Farrell has steamed up the screen on many occasions and now does the same for himself. The star, who kicked a deadly drug habit, found his new addiction while filming in New York, taking Russian-style steam baths while covered in honey. Farrell has admitted he went to rehab to get off ecstasy, cocaine, speed, Jack Daniels and wine, told GQ magazine: “There’s something very basic about rubbing honey on your skin and going steaming with a bunch of strange Russian men.”
Colin was a daily visitor to the 10th Street Russian and Turkish Baths where guests are smothered in honey before steaming. He went on to use one of the few bathhouses in Belgium while shooting his new movie In Bruges. He is now a regular at Los Angeles bathhouses. Way to keep it clean, Colin!
