Fresh off his Golden Globes win, Colin Farrell provided a heartwarming response about what he was most proud of in his life.

The Irish actor, 48, picked up the 2025 Golden Globes award for Best Male Actor in a Limited or Anthology series for his role in The Penguin on Sunday (5 January).

The critically acclaimed series is set in the same world as 2022 film The Batman and focuses on the rise of Oz Cobb, AKA 'The Penguin', known as the notorious crime lord in Gotham City, played by Farrell.

After seeing off Richard Gadd, Kevin Kline, Cooper Koch, Ewan McGregor and Andrew Scott in the same category, the star looked to be in high spirits during his speech.

"No one to thank on this one. I did it all by myself," he joked.

"Just a raw, paired away performance."

Farrell then thanked makeup artist Michael Marino for designing his unrecognisable getup for The Penguin.

"All it took was three hours in the chair in the morning," he added.

"I drank black coffee, listened to '80s music, and I became a canvas for that team's brilliance.

"I guess it's prosthetics for here on out."

However, backstage Farrell was a lot more reflective, paying tribute to his children James, 21, who suffers from Angelman syndrome, and youngest son Henry, 15.

Reflecting on his personal and professional life when asked what he was most proud of, he said: "I don't know if I feel pride to be honest with you, which is not to say I'm not a prideful person. I do feel pride in my life.

"I feel very proud of my kids and who they are as men and watching them navigate the world."

Farrell also said that he's 'very grateful that I get to work most of the time with people who I end up having real affection for and bringing these scripts to light. It's just such a joy'.

"I think I did say that a long time ago, and I still believe, that either there is no arrival or you're constantly arriving," he went on.

"We are constantly arriving in the moments of our lives and some of them we would prefer over others. And the ones that oftentimes would be less preferable are the ones of course you learn the most from and experience the most growth from.

"I'm grateful that I still get the opportunity to do it."
