Colin Farrell Says He Once Gave 'Fantastic Beasts' Co-Star Eddie Redmayne a Back Massage!

Colin Farrell is opening up about a pretty hilarious secret involving his Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them co-star Eddie Redmayne!

The 40-year-old Irish actor recently revealed that he helped Eddie out with some stage fright at Comic-Con by giving him a back rub!

Eddie said Colin calmed his nerves by “giving me a back rub and whispering sweet nothings into my ear trying to calm me down. He definitely whispered. He gave me a pep talk, actually. I was really anxious and he sort of gently told me that everything was going to be fine.” (via People)

“I have no idea what I whispered in his ear, maybe, ‘How’s the pressure?’” Colin shared. “I do remember giving him a bit of a massage. He had to go in front of an audience of four or five thousand people at Comic-Con and do some some magic trick and get the audience all involved and he was s–ting himself.”

“I don’t remember whispering sweet nothings, I think he’s lying,” Colin added.
