Farrell told the Hollywood Reporter: "I was chuffed to be part of it. It was just the best thing I ever read. But your public persona, people bring that in. And I met [McDonagh] in New York at the Hilton Hotel one afternoon and I tried to convince him he should cast an unknown in the part ... It was so good, I thought it would be good not to cast me."
'In Bruges', which tells the story of assassins who are forced to hide out in Belgium, will open this weekend's Dublin International Film Festival. It goes on general release from 7 March.
