Colin Farrell's Intense Penguin Transformation

Colin Farrell's transformation into The Penguin for HBO's series 'The Penguin' involved an extensive and meticulous makeup process, taking three hours each day. The makeup, designed by Mike Marino, included a full bodysuit and multiple prosthetic pieces to cover Farrell from wrist to ankle, making him virtually unrecognizable. Farrell described the experience as both challenging and magical, noting how it significantly helped him embody the character of Oz Cobb. In a humorous twist, the makeup team even created a detachable prosthetic penis for the character. The show, a gritty crime drama, continues the story from Matt Reeves' 2022 film 'The Batman,' showcasing Farrell's deep dive into the dark and complex world of Gotham's criminal underbelly.
