Colin Farrell’s Outburst on the Red Carpet

The star of the new thriller was presenting his film at the Toronto International Film Festival when the incident occurred.

The actor was accompanied by his sister Claudine, when a cameraman shouted at her, telling her to move away while he took a snapshot of her movie star brother.

Farrell did not appreciate the request, and confronted the paparazzo face-to-face. An eyewitness revealed, "He took it personal. He said, ‘Do not shout at my sister like that, do not ever speak to my sister like that ever’."

The heated moment was short-lived, and the actor continued on his way inside the theatre where his film was to be shown.

Ironically, the film Triage is about the psychological effects of the war waged by photo journalists.
