A British diver involved in rescuing a group of young footballers from a cave in Thailand has praised Colin Farrell’s “diligent” method acting approach to portraying him in a forthcoming film.

John Volanthen and Richard Stanton were part of a team of divers who saved 12 boys and their coach after they got trapped in the cave when it flooded in 2018.

He added that he had asked for Mr Bean to play him, “but I was told by Ron Howard in no uncertain terms he wasn’t making that sort of movie”.Mr Stanton said he had also had a lot of contact with Mortensen ahead of the film’s release.
