Colin Farrell raised some serious eyebrows while making an interesting comment about his A-list costar Margot Robbie.
The 49-year-old actor stars alongside Margot, 35, in A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, the new romantic fantasy film, and Colin has revealed that he relished the experience of working with the actress.
During a joint appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Colin explained: ‘You hear things through the years, ’cause as you know yourself, it’s a fairly small industry.
‘So I met people through the years that worked with Margot … and they all, [men and women], said how extraordinary she was.
‘Not just it’s obvious that she’s an incredible actress, but how kind and fun and “one of the team” she is. Which is always a turn-on for me. … Straight up!’
Colin found working with Margot to be ‘really easy’.

Margot, meanwhile, was similarly complimentary of her co-star.
The actress said: ‘I also have always heard things about Colin.
‘Everyone talks about what a great guy he is — obviously I know he’s talented and all that…’
Margot revealed that one of her good friends told her Colin was the ‘most divine human being on the planet’.
She shared: ‘I have a lot of friends who are crew members — actually, two of my closest girlfriends have worked on a movie with Colin before as crew members. And they, too, were like, “He’s just the most divine human being on the planet.”‘
Margot recently revealed what drew her to the movie, describing A Big Bold Beautiful Journey as a ‘magical’ project.
The actress also confessed that the script ‘kept surprising’ her.
Asked what drew her to the movie, Margot told Extra: ‘It felt really original and magical and romantic.

Margot, meanwhile, was similarly complimentary of her co-star as the actress said: ‘I also have always heard things about Colin. ‘Everyone talks about what a great guy he is — obviously I know he’s talented and all that…’
‘The movie starts and it’s like a meet-cute at a wedding and then it turns into like this road trip movie and then it gets a little emotional … It kept surprising me.’
Prior to that, Colin revealed that he was thrilled to be paired with Margot in the film.
The actor told Variety: ‘I’ve heard the most extraordinary things about [Margot] through the years from the people that have worked with you both in front of and behind the camera.
‘They said she’s a mensch … She’s the loveliest person, she’s fun. She’s obviously a brilliant actress, but they didn’t say that because that is stating the obvious, and the other stuff I didn’t know, and all of it was very true and then some.
‘It was a joy every day to be on the set with her. She’s so smart, she’s so brilliant, but she’s just kind and fun.’
A Big Bold Beautiful Journey is Margot’s first project since 2023’s Barbie movie – which she both starred in and produced through her LuckyChap company.
That movie topped both the domestic ($636.2million) and worldwide ($1.445billion) box office charts.
Her new movie also marks Margot’s return to work after the birth of her first child a year ago.

‘The script was exquisite and felt very original, magical and romantic, and I wanted to do a love story,’ Margot said this week when asked about the film, before adding cheekily that ‘I would obviously love to do a love story with Colin Farrell’.
Colin has returned the sentiment, gushing that working with Margot ‘was a dream’ from ‘start to finish.’
A Big Bold Beautiful Journey’s release pinpoints another busy period for Margot who will be back on the promo trail early next year for the Emerald Fennell adaptation of Wuthering Heights, which hits cinemas in February.
A Big Bold Beautiful Journey will be released this Friday, September 19.
