Washington, Nov 12: Irish actor Colin Farrell has revealed that he was very freaked out by the idea of taking late Aussie actor Heath Ledger’s place in his unfinished movie.

Farrell, along with Johnny Depp and Jude Law, was in the headlines earlier this year when they stepped in to help finish Ledger’s final film ‘The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus’.

Even though the others had no qualms about doing the role, Farrell revealed that it was a very tough decision for him.

“It was a very difficult decision to make, when I first heard about it I totally freaked at the idea,” Fox News quoted Farrell as saying.

“But it was important to get Heath’s work out and doing what I think Heath would have wanted, which was finishing the movie to its entirety,” he added. (ANI)
