Meet Colin The Great

By Rebecca Winters

Known for his plentiful female conquests, COLIN FARRELL is now playing the role of a fabled land grabber. The mischiefmaking Dublin-born star is Alexander the Great in Oliver Stone's untitled tale of the Macedonian warrior-King currently filming in Morocco with Angelina Jolie and Anthony Hopkins. Historians debate Alexander's true appearance, but Farrell's normally dark locks are now blond to accommodate the "sun-bleached golden-boy" theory, he says. "Do blonds have more fun?" ponders Farrell from the Marrakech set. "Nah, the Irish do."
