Australia's NCA NewsWire reports that Farrell was asked by one of the MCs at the end of the marathon whether he wanted to say a few words but replied: "Nah, I'm knackered."
"His security guard told me he'd only been running for three months in preparation, so it's not a bad effort… and he did finish running and he looked good as he came down the line," said Pat Carroll, another of the marathon MCs.
Farrell posed for photos with fans at the finish line.
He is in Australia making Thirteen Lives, the story of the 2018 Thai cave rescue.
