In an interview, Colin Farrell admitted that when filming underwater sequences for the upcoming action picture Thirteen Lives, he suffered “panic attacks.”
The Batman actor confessed that he experienced anxiety while submerged for the sequences as he recalled the terrifying event.”Man, I experienced panic attacks when submerged. I’ve never had a panic episode underwater, said the 46-year-old.
I had to tell myself, ‘Just relax,’ he added. Maintain your composure. You’re good. Nothing to be concerned about. Your tank is OK; it is currently 60% full. Just take a deeper breath. It’s OK.'”
The actor recalled his time in the tank by saying, “They filled them full of water, and when we went down, there was no going up.”
