Stars of a new film depicting the aquatic rescue of 12 young footballers from a cave in Thailand say it was an “honour” to be a part of the project, despite having difficulty swimming and battling claustrophobia.

Colin Farrell and Tom Bateman said the experience had been “terrifying” but “extraordinary” and praised those involved, both living and dead.
