Irish actor Colin Farrell talks about his latest stint in the Batman spin-off series The Penguin.

Speaking on The Graham Norton Show the Dubliner said: "It is a huge relief now that it is out and people think it is all right.

"If you are shallow and insecure like me, you are expecting a slap in the face so a rub on the back is definitely preferable."

In the Batman spin-off series, the actor wears heavy prosthetics, which he said made him "a bit miserable and angry".

He told People magazine recently: "I had a bodysuit, so I was basically covered wrist to ankle. Only things that were me were my hands and feet. Everything else, including ears, were pieces."
