London:
He may have put forth a 'tough guy' image in films like The Recruit and Alexander, but actor Colin Farell says he is a soft one at heart.
The Irish actor, who plays a tough tattooed Russian in new movie The Way Back, admitted that despite his hard man image he is not the bravest person in the world, reported Femalefirst.
"To be honest with you, I'm a big girl's blouse. I wouldn't be into spiders and stuff. I wouldn't be a fan ofthings with more than four legs. I get suspicious," said Farell.
However, despite his hatred of creepie crawlies, Farrell does have a fondness for snakes.
"Snakes I don't mind. I wouldn't like one wrapped around my neck or taking a lump out of me but I don't mindthem too much."
Farrell stars with Ed Harris, Jim Sturgess and Saoirse Ronan in The Way Back, based on a true story about soldiers who escaped from a Siberian gulag in 1940 and endured a 4,000 mile trek to freedom in India.
The 34-year-old actor said he was impressed by the soldiers' tenacity because he wouldn't hesitate to turn tocannibalism if he was in the same situation.
When asked which of his co-stars he would eat first, he joked, "It would have to be Saoirse Ronan because women are softer than men. I'm not saying they're not as strong, it's a different type of softness but it'd have to be Saoirse."
