00:00We were just so present in the beauty of bringing this together. It wasn't really about what did I

00:04learn about myself. It was, you know, you're always learning about human beings and ultimately

00:09what you learn about someone else is, if you're going to be really honest, what you learn about

00:12yourself. Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell go on a big, bold, beautiful journey together in their

00:17latest film. The two Oscar-nominated stars spoke to The Hollywood Reporter all about the movie

00:22and their respective characters, Sarah and David. I feel like both of you often choose bold roles

00:28and make really bold choices in those roles. This movie, of course, is a big, bold, beautiful

00:33journey. What are you both like about taking on bold roles? It's easier to hide yourself

00:38behind a loud character. And I think, like, acting can sometimes be quite vulnerable. And

00:47I actually think Sarah is a more exposing character than a lot that I've played.

00:53I'm a big fan of seeing the groups. Me too.

00:56Why are you single?

00:59I suppose I hadn't met the right one yet.

01:01What about you?

01:02I'm meant to be alone.

01:03Do you really believe that?

01:05You know, if you read a script, do you find this? If you read a script, you either just,

01:08without even knowing why or how or when, you lean in or you lean out.

01:11Yeah.

01:12It's very seldom neutral. You just lean in a bit or you lean out or you lean in loads.

01:17I get a feeling like there's something I can grab onto with a character or it, like, kind of

01:21slips away.

01:21Do you ever start saying, mouthing the words a little bit without me able to do it?

01:25Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, that's why it takes me four hours to read a script because I'm

01:27re- like, I'm acting the whole thing out as I read it.

01:29And is that an indicator of liking something more or being connected to it a little bit?

01:33No, it's more like, I can't, I can't ascertain whether I think it's going to be a good film.

01:38Unless I, unless I really imagine the whole thing playing out.

01:41Yeah. But I don't think them as bold. I just am fortunate to have the chances, honestly,

01:46that I've had or have. And it's all fun stuff and different stuff. You want to do different

01:52stuff just for reasons, not because you want to be perceived as doing different stuff,

01:55but for reasons of just, it's just interesting.

01:58The film sees Robbie and Farrell's characters revisit memories, including David's high school

02:02musical performance of how to succeed in business without really trying.

02:06And it reminded me of, somebody once asked me, if I could relive any day of my life,

02:10a very big question, what day would I choose to just live that joy again?

02:14And I immediately said, my high school musical, my senior musical, because I don't do musicals

02:18anymore and I would love to do it again. But if you could relive one day of your life,

02:22exactly as it happened, just to live that joy again, what's a day that you would choose?

02:27I had this one amazing, like 24 hours. I was in Croatia and like for 24 whole hours,

02:36it was just the most fun day ever. I'd relive that day.

02:40The day that Ireland beat Romania in the World Cup in Italia at 90 in the penalty shootout

02:47and the country was just, I mean, I swear to God, you could have heard the screams

02:54of the Irish people from Scotland. You could have heard the screams of the country.

02:59It was the whole country, 4 million people. When David O'Leary hit that ball in the wind

03:03in the back of the net, and I'll show it to you now in this interview's hour. So that

03:06day was, I was, what was I, 14? It was just, I'll never forget it as long as I live.

03:10Being out in the streets, wee hours of the morning, cars going by, flags being waved.

03:14This isn't real.

03:16Well, it feels real to me.

03:17So what is it that you want, David?

03:20I want to go back to when I thought everything would work out for me.

03:22How did doing this movie make you reflect on your own life's journey?

03:26They always do.

03:27Yeah, they do.

03:29I don't know, you spend a chunk of your time, you know, whether it's six weeks or whether

03:36it's five months. How long did Barbie take?

03:40I mean, was it four months? Just to shoot?

03:42I was about to say, I know you were on it for six years or something. No, to shoot maybe

03:45like five months.

03:45Five months and Penguin took like five months. Those two recent things. You spend so much

03:49of your life working at such close quarters with people, the crew and the cast and stuff

03:55that inevitably you end up reflecting on. And the scripts do provoke certain kind of avenues

04:01of question or introspection. This, I don't know. Maybe, I suppose I maybe reflected on my

04:09childhood a good bit. But I was also, we were just so present in the beauty of bringing this

04:13together. It wasn't really about what did I learn about myself. It was, you know, you're

04:18always learning about human beings. And ultimately, what you learn about someone else is, if you're

04:21going to be really honest, what you learn about yourself.

04:24A Big, Bold, Beautiful Journey hits theaters on September 19th.

04:27For The Hollywood Reporter News, I'm Tiffany Taylor.
