The Castleknock native has recently made headlines around the globe for his role as The Penguin in HBO's new limited series. The Hollywood A-lister is gearing up for the serious challenge to pay tribute to his friend Emma Fogarty, Ireland's longest-living person with the rare skin condition epidermolysis bullosa. The run will celebrate Emma's incredible 40th birthday milestone, with Farrell ready to push the Laois native in her wheelchair for the last 4km of the marathon, and hoping to raise €400,000 for Debra.ie in the process.
