'I’m only in it for five or six scenes, so I can’t wait to see the film because it won’t be ruined by my presence,' Farrell said.

He added the role is, 'Really, it’s a freebie to me,' indicating he doesn't like watching himself perform on screen.

'I’ll get a little bit uncomfortable for the f***ing nine minutes I have, and then the rest of it, I cannot wait to see how he (director Matt Reeves) brought this world to life,' Farrell added.

Not ruined: 'I’m only in it for five or six scenes, so I can’t wait to see the film because it won’t be ruined by my presence,' Farrell said

The actor made headlines when he was spotted on the set looking rather unrecognizable as the iconic villain. 

Farrell credited makeup artist Mike Marino for creating the prosthetic fat suit for his look as the villain, calling Marino 'a genius.

'He’s an absolute and veritable genius. And that word gets thrown out a lot, but he is a drawing, sculpting, shaping genius. And he created this visage for the Penguin,' Farrell added.

'I mean he and Matt talked about what physically the character stature would be, and I had been quite big for The North Water and I didn’t want to naturally go big again cause I had a few little health things as a result of The North Water and I was just like, f**k, this acting thing ain’t this important,' Farrell said.

'I know the top actors that go up and down, and God bless them, I wish them good health. But for me, I think The North Water is the last time I’ll go up that much. So, we decided on a fat suit,' the actor added.

Farrell was also spotted grabbing a coffee near his home in Los Feliz on Sunday afternoon.
