It’s essential to keep your life as normal as possible while away filming in remote locations. However, even a simple jog proved eventful for Colin Farrell during the Banshees of Inisherin shoot.

During his jog, he encountered a horse and cart carrying six people (presumably tourists) on the back. Suddenly, he observed the carriage was being kept about ten feet ahead of him along the track, with the tourists recording his run. As anyone would, Farrell started to feel self-conscious, notably since his running attire only consisted of a shirt and runner shorts of a questionable length.

And then an incredibly odd chase ensues. Colin would stop, pretending to stretch, and the cart would halt. Colin resumed his run, and the carriage also moved, maintaining a healthy ten-foot distance. This carried on for about an hour until they encountered a hill. Farrell figured he could easily outrun the horse up the incline and so really went for it. They were tied for around a half mile until the horse pulled away closer to the town centre.

So, if anyone was wondering whether Colin Farrell could run faster than a horse, we now have definitive proof. You’re welcome.
