The Hollywood hunk even stopped to pose for selfies with fans after finishing.

The marathon’s MC Pat Carroll shared an amusing post to social media in which he hyped up Colin’s race finish despite claiming he’d been told the Phone Booth actor didn’t ‘want any [fanfare] when he is finishing’.
In the footage, Pat described Colin as a ‘famous Hollywood actor’ as he crossed the finish line to cheers from the crowd.

It’s not the first time Farrell has explored the Sunshine State in between shooting his new movie Thirteen Lives on the Gold Coast.
As reported by the Gold Coast Bulletin on Wednesday, the Total Recall actor was spotted outside a day spa before heading over to the film’s set.
The Gentlemen actor kept a low profile in a black tank top and cap as he left Endota Spa in Broadbeach last week.

He kept his head bowed and clutched a takeaway beverage as he left the premises and headed off to work.
Colin arrived in Australia in March ahead of filming the Ron Howard-directed biopic Thirteen Lives, about the incredible 2018 Thai cave rescue.
The federal government pledged $13million in funding for the project, as part of its Location Incentive program to bring film productions to Australia.

Filming began in Queensland in March, with the Gold Coast hinterland doubling for Thailand.
The film will tell the story of the dramatic 2018 rescue of 12 young boys and their soccer coach after they ventured deep into a cave which later became flooded.
The incredible rescue mission made global news headlines, after the boys embarked on an outing exploring the Tham Luang caves in Chiang Rai.

It took two weeks to rescue them, with more than 1,000 divers, soldiers and volunteers helping out.
Production of the film is expected to inject more than $96million into the local economy, and will create jobs for 435 cast and crew members, as well as an additional 3,400 background actors.
Speaking about the project when it was announced in November, Ron, 67, said he was ‘excited’ to be filming in Australia.
