'A Big Bold Beautiful Journey' hits theaters Sept. 19.

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 behind a loud

00:40character. And I think like acting can sometimes be quite vulnerable. And I actually think Sarah

00:49is a more exposing character than a lot that I've played. I'm a big fan of scenic roots. Me too.

00:56Why are you single? I suppose I haven't met the right one yet. What about you? I'm meant to be

01:02alone. You really believe that? You know, if you read a script, do you find this? If you read a script,

01:07you either just without even knowing why or how or when, you lean in or you lean out. Yeah. It's very

01:13seldom neutral. You just lean in a bit or you lean out or you lean in loads. I get a feeling like

01:18there's something I can grab onto with a character or it like kind of slips away. Do you ever start

01:22mouthing the words a little bit without needing to do it? Yeah. Well, that's why it takes me four

01:25hours to read a script because I'm 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.

01:37Unless you feel it a little bit. Unless I, unless I really imagine the whole thing playing out.

01:41Yeah. But I don't think of 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 stuff

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

01:55reasons of just, it's just interesting. The film sees Robbie and Farrell's characters

02:00revisit memories, including David's high school musical performance of how to succeed in business

02:05without really trying. And it reminded me of, somebody once asked me if I could relive any day

02:10of my life, a very big question. Yes. What day would I choose to just live that joy again?

02:14What'd you say? And I immediately said my high school musical.

02:16Did you? Because I don't do musicals anymore and I would love to do it again.

02:20But if you could relive one day of your life exactly as it happened, just to live that joy again,

02:25what's a day that you would choose? I had this one amazing like 24 hours. I was in Croatia and

02:33like for 24 whole hours, it was just the most fun day ever. I'd relive that day.

02:39The day that Ireland beat Romania in the World Cup in Italia at 90, in the penalty shootout and

02:49the country was just, I mean, I swear to God, you could have heard the screams of the Irish people

02:55from Scotland. You could have heard the screams of the country. It was the whole country, 4 million

03:01people. When David O'Leary hit that ball and went in the back of the net and I show it to you now in

03:05this interview as ours. So that day was, I was, well, was I 14? It was just, I'll never forget it.

03:09As long as I live, being out in the streets still the wee hours of the morning, cars going by, flags being

03:14waved. This isn't real. Well, it feels real to me. So what is it that you want, David? I want to go back

03:20to when I thought everything would work out for me. How did doing this movie make you reflect on your own

03:25life's journey? They always do. Yeah, they do. I don't know, you spend a chunk of your time,

03:32you know, whether it's six weeks or whether it's five months. How long did Barbie take?

03:40I mean, was it four months just to shoot? I was about to say, I know you were on it for like six

03:43years or something. No, to shoot maybe like five months. Five months and Penguin took like five

03:47months. Those two recent things. You spend so much of your life working at such close quarters with

03:52these, with people, the crew and the cast and stuff that inevitably you end up reflecting on.

03:58And the scripts do provoke certain kind of avenues of question or introspection. This, I don't know.

04:05Maybe, maybe, I suppose I maybe reflected on my childhood a good bit, but I was also, we were just

04:11so present in the beauty of bringing this together. It wasn't really about what did I learn about myself?

04:16It was, you know, you're always learning about human beings and ultimately what you learn about someone

04:21else's, if you're going 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.
