Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell walk through a mystical door to relive defining moments from their pasts in their new movie A Big Bold Beautiful Journey. \u00a0<\/p>\n
“It is a love story between David (Colin Farrell) and Sarah (Margot Robbie), but it is also about loving yourself before you can love someone else,” Robbie says.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The characters go back to the past to see how they got to where they are in the present.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“It’s a lot about finding that grace to forgive yourself and realising you can’t really fully commit to loving someone else until you’ve done that,” she says. \u00a0<\/p>\n
Reminiscing the past may even be difficult for some people, much less ‘literally’ going back.<\/p>\n
But Farrell says the movie explores difficult times with delicacy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“It doesn’t shy away from things that will befall us all, like grief and loss and suffering and pain and sadness and loneliness and all those human experiences,” Farrell says.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It was lovely to have the opportunity to be in something that had no cruelty at all,” he says.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Aussie-Irish connection\u00a0<\/p>\n
Robbie and Farrell\u2019s chemistry is clear as on-screen lovers but the pair says it was more than just acting.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“That was the best part of this whole job,” Robbie says about working with Farrell.<\/p>\n
“It just was a joy every single day,” Farrell agrees.<\/p>\n

“There’s something about the Aussies and the Irish,” Robbie says.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Farrell says he lived in Australia when he was 17.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“I went to bed in Ireland, I woke up, I got on a plane, and then all of a sudden I arrived in Sydney, but I didn’t really leave Ireland that much,” Farrell says.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He recalls the “lack of culture shock” when arriving in Australia.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“There’s a certain similarity in wit, the amount of beer we drank back then,” Farrell jokes. \u00a0<\/p>\n
He even recalls indulging in an Aussie ‘delicacy’.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“Victoria Bitter stubbies,” he reminisces.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“You drank VB’s?” Robbie laughs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The pair chat with ease and agree that it was one of the most joyful experiences they have ever had making a film.<\/p>\n
“But yeah, it was easy from the get-go,” Farrell says.<\/p>\n
