Colin Farrell praises Margot Robbie's extraordinary reputation in Hollywood, says it was a turn-on

Colin Farrell reveals Margot Robbie's extraordinary Hollywood reputation was a "turn-on" during their collaboration on new romantic fantasy film A Big Bold Beautiful Journey.

"I met people through the years that worked with Margot... they all said how extraordinary she was - Colin Farrell"

Washington DC, September 18

Actor Colin Farrell has heaped praise on his co-star Margot Robbie, calling her reputation in Hollywood "extraordinary" and admitting that it was a "turn-on" for him to collaborate with her in their romantic fantasy film 'A Big Bold Beautiful Journey', reported People.

While appearing on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Farrell revealed that although he and Robbie had not worked together before, he had long heard of her warm reputation. "You hear things through the years, 'cause as you know yourself, it's a fairly small industry," Farrell told host Seth Meyers. "So I met people through the years that worked with Margot ... and they all, [men and women], said how extraordinary she was." he said, as per the outlet.

Robbie, 35, lightened the moment by joking, "You owe me 20 bucks later," prompting laughter from the audience. The two actors also exchanged compliments during the segment, with Robbie highlighting how crew members she knew had described Farrell as "the most divine human being on the planet."

Farrell continued that what he'd heard about the Barbie star "was really apparent as soon as we met," and a "really easy" dynamic between them immediately.

"I also have always heard things about Colin," Robbie interjected. "Everyone talks about what a great guy he is -- obviously I know he's talented and all that," as quoted by People.

"But 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,' " shared Robbie

Directed by Kogonada and written by Seth Reiss, A Big Bold Beautiful Journey stars Robbie and Farrell as Sarah and David, two strangers who meet at a wedding and, after a twist of fate, embark on an adventure that allows them to revisit pivotal moments from their pasts. The film's cast also includes Kevin Kline, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Lily Rabe, Jodie Turner-Smith, Billy Magnussen and more, reported People.

A Big Bold Beautiful Journey is slated to release in theatres on Friday, September 19.

Margot Robbie is truly phenomenal! From Wolf of Wall Street to Barbie, she's shown incredible range. Colin Farrell recognizing her talent shows what a class act he is too. Hope this movie releases in Indian theaters soon.

The mutual respect between them is wonderful to see. In Bollywood, we often see co-stars praising each other, but Hollywood seems more genuine sometimes. Margot's "you owe me 20 bucks" comment shows her great sense of humor 😄

While I appreciate the mutual admiration, the "turn-on" comment feels a bit unprofessional. Hollywood should learn from Indian cinema where co-stars maintain more dignified boundaries while still appreciating each other's work.

Both are incredible actors! Colin Farrell has come a long way from his early days. Margot Robbie's work ethic reminds me of our Indian actresses like Deepika or Alia - always professional and dedicated to their craft.

The plot sounds interesting - two strangers meeting at a wedding and revisiting their pasts. Has a very Bollywood romantic drama feel to it! Hope it gets a good release here in India. 🎬
