Actor Colin Farrell was photographed in Los Angeles on Wednesday with a completely shaved head during a lunch outing. Farrell, 50, wore an olive green T-shirt, black pants and sunglasses, and in another photograph covered his head with a blue ball cap and wore brown loafers, carrying a cell phone as he walked in the city.

Context

In June, Farrell said he was beginning to film "The Batman Part II," in which he reprises his role as Oz Cobb, also known as The Penguin, according to what he told Collider at the time. He said he was excited to see the film as a fan and described the sequel's script as "extraordinary."

Farrell said Matt Reeves, the film's director and co-writer, "is just so brilliant, and he just cares so deeply about the stories he tells."

Farrell previously transformed for the character in 2022's "The Batman," using scarred facial prosthetics and a partially bald head, and again for the HBO spinoff series "The Penguin." He won a 2025 Golden Globe for his performance in the 2024 series.

A shaved head is not new for Farrell. In 2021, ahead of "The Batman's" debut, he was photographed in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles with a completely shaved head.

At the 2024 red carpet premiere of "The Penguin," Farrell spoke about seeing himself in the mirror after transforming into the character for "The Batman."
