After attending more premieres than I can remember, it's become very easy to spot an actor who isn't really interested in the fans or the media, despite their outward appearance. At the World Premiere of "Alexander," Colin Farrell and Angelina Jolie not only showed up early (something that's almost never done when you're the star of the film) but they spent a considerable amount of time shaking hands, signing autographs, and posing for photos with the hundreds of fans lining Hollywood Blvd. Think what you might about the two rebellious stars, Farrell and Jolie made the "Alexander" Premiere into one of the best media events of 2004.
