Margot Robbie hails 'magical' A Big Bold Beautiful Journey
Margot Robbie has revealed what drew her to A Big Bold Beautiful Journey.
Margot Robbie thinks A Big Bold Beautiful Journey is "magical".
The 35-year-old actress stars in the new romantic-fantasy movie alongside Colin Farrell, and Margot has explained what attracted her to the project, admitting that the script "kept surprising" her.
Asked what drew her to the movie, Margot told Extra: "It felt really original and magical and romantic.
"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."
The movie tells the story of two strangers who are brought together by an unimaginable journey.
Margot admitted that she relished the experience of working with Colin, revealing that he made sandwiches for her during the film's shoot.
Asked about working with Colin, she replied: "He’s the best co-star you could hope to have, honestly."
Colin, meanwhile, recently hailed Margot as a "brilliant actress".
The 49-year-old actor revealed that he relished the experience of working with the acclaimed film star.
He 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."
Colin also refuted the idea that their new movie is "dark".
The actor explained: "It deals with grief and loss and sorrow and loneliness and all these very human things that we all contend with, but I’ve never used the word darkness in relation to this film. No. There’s no darkness in it. Those things in and of themselves aren’t dark. They may be painful, but they’re not dark experiences."
Margot always assumed that she'd develop a good chemistry with Colin. However, she wasn't 100 percent sure that it would actually be the case until the cameras started rolling.
She said: "I suspected we would have chemistry, but you never know until you’re actually acting. But I had a suspicion it would work."
Margot actually performed a casual background check on her co-star before they worked together.
The actress explained: "A lot of my closest girlfriends are crew members … Two of my closest girlfriends worked with you on Fantastic Beasts. They were ADs. And they were always like, ‘He’s the best, the kindest.’ They just spoke so highly of you."
