Why Working With Margot Robbie Was an “Obvious” Yes for Colin Farrell

by

Colin Farrell is hot for Margot Robbie. 

Colin Farrell, known for his role in *The Banshees of Inisherin*, recently explained why he decided to collaborate with a star from the *Barbie* movie on their new romantic film, *A Big Bold Beautiful Journey*, which will be released in theaters on September 19th.

Colin shared that he’d heard wonderful things about Margot Robbie from people he’d met over the years who had worked with her. Speaking on Late Night With Seth Meyers on September 16th, he said both male and female actors, and crew members, consistently described her as extraordinary.

You know, working with Margot Robbie, it was clear from the start she was incredibly talented. But what really struck me wasn’t just her skill, it was her personality. Everyone on set kept talking about how genuinely kind, fun, and collaborative she is – she truly felt like one of the team.

Ultimately, that’s what impressed him. He even said, “That really excites me!”

Margot, who has an 11-month-old son with her husband Tom Ackerly, playfully said she owed a coworker $20 for being so nice. She then quickly added that she thought he was just as deserving of praise in return.

He’s often described as a really good person,” the 35-year-old said. “Two of my closest friends, who both worked with him on film sets, agreed – they said he’s an incredibly kind and wonderful person.

Colin has already shown he’s a fantastic coworker. He once revealed he made Margot a unique treat every day on set: a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with potato chips on top!

He explained that his wife calls crisp sandwiches ‘chippy sandwiches,’ so he started making her one. He continued making her a sandwich every day while they were on set, and it became his nightly task.

Indeed, Margot also noted that food was a big part of their ability to bond. 

“We both eat a lot and get excited about our meals,” she told USA Today Sept. 16. “It was so fun.”

Margot and Colin formed a great friendship while filming *A Big Bold Beautiful Journey*, but there are other costars who turned their on-screen connection into something more – read on to find out who!

Ryan Gosling has a history of dating co-stars, having been linked to both Sandra Bullock and Rachel McAdams. He met his current partner, Eva Mendes, while filming *The Place Beyond the Pines*. Since starting their relationship in 2013, they’ve successfully kept it out of the public eye.

The couple now have two daughters, Esmeralda and Amada. Mendes has shared how being with the star of *The Notebook* altered her views on becoming a mother.

The designer for New York & Company shared on Sydney’s Nova 96.9 radio station in October 2020 that she worked incredibly hard for two decades. She hadn’t planned on having children until she met her husband, Ryan. She then had her first child at around age 40 and her second around 42, which allowed her to build a career before shifting her focus to her family.

And she’s not ruling out a future on-screen collaboration with Gosling. 

She told TopMob News that she thoroughly enjoyed working with Ryan and would jump at the chance to do so again. She especially loved being on set while he directed, describing the experience as creatively fulfilling and praising his directing skills.

The singers began dating in November 2015 after meeting on the set of The Voice, and they’ve been together ever since.

Shelton and Stefani have both said they first connected because they were going through divorces, but their relationship quickly became something more significant and has clearly lasted a long time.

Blake Shelton recently told *Billboard* how he quickly fell in love with Gwen Stefani, and how they both supported each other through difficult times. He explained, “Gwen saved my life. She was the only one who truly understood what I was going through, having also experienced a public divorce from a fellow musician.”

Oh my gosh, after FIVE years together, Blake finally proposed to Gwen in October 2020! I was losing it! And then, just last July, they actually GOT MARRIED! It was a super private ceremony, but still, they did it! I’m so happy for them, it’s like a dream come true!

Carson Daly, who performed the wedding ceremony, described the wedding as a beautiful mix of country charm and elegance.

He described their relationship as having the same qualities as Gwen and Blake themselves: sophisticated and cool like Gwen, and relaxed and fun like Blake. He said they simply have great chemistry, despite seeming like an unexpected match. He compared them to pairing fried chicken with champagne-it shouldn’t work, but it does! They’re a comforting yet classy combination, and people naturally want to see them succeed.

I’ll never forget when they first met! It was back in 1995, playing a couple on *All My Children* – they had such amazing chemistry even then. And then, can you believe it, they ran off to Las Vegas and got married on May 1st, 1996! It was so romantic and a total surprise. I’ve been a fan ever since.

Mark Consuelos quickly realized Kelly Ripa was the one for him. He shared with Andy Cohen on *Watch What Happens Live* that when they first started dating, they’d go out with groups from work, but each time, the group would shrink until it was just the two of them. Consuelos admitted he was shy and didn’t make bold moves.

But Ripa revealed the couple almost split before their wedding.

She explained on the *Comments By Celebs* podcast in 2018 that they had a brief breakup and then reunited just before secretly getting married in Las Vegas. “Yeah, we eloped,” she said.

After almost thirty years of marriage and raising three children, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are still happily together. Now, in a surprising turn of events, they’re working together as co-hosts on the show Live.

Megan Fox immediately felt a deep connection with Machine Gun Kelly (Colson Baker) when they met on a movie set in 2020, believing their relationship would be uniquely special and unforgettable.

In a July 2020 podcast conversation with director Randall Emmett and his then-fiancée Lala Kent, Megan Fox remembered asking who would be joining the movie set. Emmett told her they’d cast Machine Gun Kelly, and Fox immediately had a bad feeling. She explained she sensed something unpredictable would happen as a result of meeting him, though she wasn’t sure what. She described feeling it as a gut feeling.

Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green, who share three children, quietly separated in late 2019. Later, Fox described Machine Gun Kelly as her “twin flame,” meaning their connection was even deeper than that of soul mates.

Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly were very open about their relationship. They celebrated their love by appearing in each other’s projects – Fox starred in Kelly’s music video – and even got matching tattoos. They first appeared as a couple on the red carpet and announced their engagement in January 2022.

Although they are no longer together, they had a daughter, Saga Blade Fox-Baker, in March 2025 and continue to raise her together.

MGK praised Megan as a fantastic mother during a June 2025 appearance on Today, saying she was doing an amazing job and that he couldn’t be happier.

Oh my gosh, it was *destiny*! Just like Jon Snow couldn’t help falling for Ygritte on screen, Kit Harington actually fell for Rose Leslie, the actress who played her, when she joined the show in season two! He’s said himself that filming those scenes with her was his absolute *favorite* part of the whole experience. It’s so perfect – the on-screen chemistry was totally real, and he told *Vogue Italia* it’s his most cherished memory from everything. I knew it! They were meant to be!

He explained that he fell in love with the country because of its beauty and the enchanting Northern Lights. He also admitted that working with someone he was already attracted to – and having them play his love interest on screen – made it incredibly easy to develop deeper feelings.

Despite their characters not ending up together on screen, Kit Harington and Rose Leslie got married in June 2018 and now have two children, though they haven’t revealed their names.

Macaulay Culkin, known for *Home Alone*, and Brenda Song, a former Disney Channel star, met while filming the 2019 movie *Changeland*. Their relationship was a surprise to the film’s director, Seth Green, who admitted to *Esquire* that he hadn’t predicted they would become a couple.

Song told Entertainment Tonight that she and the other person immediately connected because they both grew up acting. She explained, “You just share a look and understand,” highlighting their instant connection based on shared experiences.

Engaged since 2022, the couple have two children: Dakota Song Culkin and Carson Song Culkin.

Adam Demos and Sarah Shahi, who play exes Billie and Brad on the Netflix series *Sex/Life*, started dating in December 2020. Their on-screen chemistry is understandable, given their real-life romance, and fans have enjoyed seeing their sweet moments together on social media.

The couple easily combines work and their personal life, with Shahi sharing with TopMob News that collaborating with her boyfriend is something she truly enjoys. She described him as one of her favorite actors to work with.

She described how natural it was with him, saying she often felt like all she had to do was look at him and he did most of the work. She realized she was falling for both the man she knew personally and the persona he presented on camera, and believed that connection was what resonated with audiences. However, news of their breakup surfaced in April 2025.

Even though their characters on the TV show *Revenge* didn’t end up together, Emily VanCamp and Josh Bowman are a real-life couple. They got married on December 15, 2018, and have been together for over ten years.

In August 2021, the couple happily announced the arrival of their first child. Actress Rebecca VanCamp shared the news on Instagram, introducing their baby girl, Iris, and expressing their joy, saying, “Our hearts are full.”

Sister Rio Rose joined the family in March 2024.

Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick first met while filming the 1988 PBS movie *Lemon Sky* and were married the same year. They’ve been a famously solid couple in Hollywood ever since. Together, they have two children: son Travis Bacon, who is a composer, and daughter Sosie Bacon, who is an actress.

 
 

And the hunter fell for the irresistible demon—both on and off screen.

Jared Padalecki and Genevieve Cortese first connected when she began playing Ruby on *Supernatural* during its fourth season. They quickly became engaged and married in 2010 in Cortese’s hometown of Sun Valley, Idaho. Jared’s *Supernatural* co-star, Jensen Ackles, was a groomsman at the wedding.

The couple, who previously worked together on The CW’s *Walker* – where Cortese played the role of his character’s late wife in flashback scenes – are parents to three children: sons Thomas and Austin, and daughter Odette.

I’ll never forget how magical it was watching Dallas and Goodwin fall in love while filming Once Upon a Time! They played Prince Charming and Snow White together, and honestly, their on-screen chemistry felt so real – it was like a real-life fairy tale unfolding before our eyes.

“It hit me like a blinding light,” Dallas told People in 2012. “I thought, ‘I’m in trouble now.'”

As for Goodwin, she knew Dallas was the one when they went on their first date to Disneyland.

Goodwin later told Kelly Ripa that she knew she’d marry her husband, Josh, after taking him to Disneyland for the first time early in their relationship. While riding Big Thunder Mountain, Josh threw his arms up and declared it the best day of his life, which made Goodwin realize they were meant to be together forever.

Dallas and Goodwin got engaged in October 2013 and married in April 2014. They have two sons, Oliver and Hugo. Goodwin, who starred in *Manifest*, would love to work with Dallas again, as they previously acted together for six years on the show *OUAT*.

He said on *Live with Kelly and Ryan* that she’s incredibly talented and he really misses collaborating with her daily. He joked that after six years of working and living together, she probably needed a rest! He’s optimistic they’ll work together again in the future.

The actors from *The Americans* didn’t immediately connect when they first met a decade earlier. He admitted on *Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen* that he was quite tipsy when he awkwardly asked for her number when she was much younger, and he knew even then, at age 26, that he was interested.

Oh my gosh, can you believe it? It all started about ten years ago, and after *so* many different hairstyles, Rhys and Russell actually started dating in 2014! It was while they were playing a married couple – KGB spies, no less! – that the magic happened. Then, in May 2016, they had a baby boy, Sam! Russell is also a mom to two other amazing kids, River and Willa Deary, from before. It’s just… perfect!

Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn, who recently charmed audiences as Santa and Mrs. Claus in the Netflix film *The Christmas Chronicles*, actually first met while working together on the 1968 movie *The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band*.

Despite both previously stating they wouldn’t date fellow actors, Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell didn’t become a couple until they worked together on the 1984 film *Swing Shift*. They later starred in the romantic comedy *Overboard* in 1988.

Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn have been together for more than 40 years and share one son, Wyatt Russell. They each also have children from previous relationships: Oliver and Kate Hudson, and Boston Russell.

When TopMob News asked Russell and his partner how they maintain a good working relationship, Russell jokingly replied, “Only do it once every 33 years!”

Talk about following in your parents’ footsteps.

Wyatt Russell, whose parents are Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn, began dating Maya Hagner after meeting on the set of the 2016 film *Folk Hero & Funny Guy*. They later co-starred in *Ingrid Goes West*.

The couple got engaged in 2018 and married the next year at Goldie’s home in Aspen. According to a source who spoke with TopMob News, the wedding had a Western theme, with guests wearing cowboy hats and boots. It was a relaxed, weekend-long celebration with close family and friends.

Russell and Hanger became parents to Buddy Prine Russell in November 2021, and welcomed another son, Boone Joseph Russell, in February 2024.

Well, at least one good thing came out of the universally panned Fantastic Four reboot in 2014.

Mara and Bell started a romantic relationship after meeting on the set of a superhero movie. However, people didn’t begin to suspect they were dating until they were seen holding hands at an after-party following the Met Gala in May 2015.

Following their wedding in July 2017, Kristen Bell told TopMob News that it felt like she and her husband had been together forever – and she meant that as a wonderful thing. She said they were really enjoying married life.

In May 2019, Mara announced the arrival of her first child, sharing a photo of the baby’s feet on Instagram with the message, “We had a baby a couple weeks ago…” She and Bell announced their second child in a similar way in November 2022, posting a picture of the baby’s feet and saying, “Had a baby a week ago.” Bell also has a son named Jack from his previous marriage to Evan Rachel Wood.

Kate isn’t the only Mara sister to find love on a film set.

Phoenix and Mara demonstrated their strong on-screen connection in the 2013 film *Her*, which received an Oscar nomination. They later appeared together in the 2018 movie *Mary Magdalene*. According to sources, their romantic feelings for each other began during filming in Italy the year before the film’s release.

The couple first appeared together publicly on the red carpet at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival and became engaged privately in 2019. Later, while accepting his Oscar for Best Actor, the star of *The Joker* became visibly emotional and publicly acknowledged Mara, telling her, “I love you” with tears in his eyes.

At the Zurich Film Festival in September 2020, director Victor Kossakovsky announced that Joaquin Phoenix and his partner had a baby boy. They named him River, likely as a tribute to Joaquin’s brother, River Phoenix, who died in 1993 at the age of 23.

Fans of the show *Yellowstone* were thrilled when two of its stars confirmed they were dating with a passionate photo shared on Instagram in April 2022. The picture showed the couple kissing in front of a fire, and the actor playfully captioned it, “More than a spark.” Harrison responded with a sweet, “I love you, cowboy.” The couple has since gotten married and continue to enjoy life together.

The couple fell in love quickly, starting their relationship while filming the first season of HBO’s *True Blood* back in 2008.

In 2009, Moyer told TopMob News that he couldn’t ask for a better coworker. He explained their connection began with a romantic spark while filming together, and he genuinely enjoyed working with her.

A year after getting engaged, Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer got married in August 2010. In 2012, they had twins: Poppy and Charlie.

I remember when they started filming Pontiac Moon back in ’93 – it was fascinating! Neither of them was expecting to find romance, honestly. Both had been through tough divorces already, and weren’t actively looking for anyone new. It just goes to show you never know what might happen!

Steenburgen told *Closer* that she had seriously told her friends she was finished with dating. However, she and Danson ended up falling in love while pretending to be married, connecting particularly during a scene where they were in a canoe.

“We were perfectly in sync as we paddled,” Danson explained. “We started as friends, but by the time we returned, we’d fallen in love. It’s funny how life works like that. When you let go and accept what happens, things often fall into place.”

In October 2020, the couple marked their 25th anniversary. The actress, known for her role in *Book Club*, told *Closer* she was deeply in love with him, finding him constantly interesting and amusing. She especially appreciated how he always made her laugh.

The actor from *The Good Place* also confessed he gets anxious around her because he wants to make a good impression, saying, “I feel incredibly lucky to be with her.”

After people quickly finished watching the Hulu series *Tell Me Lies*, many wondered if the strong connection between the two lead actors, Van Patten and White, extended beyond the screen. They both seemed to encourage the speculation in interviews and on social media. Finally, the answer came: yes, the actors who played the complicated couple on TV are actually dating in real life, and their relationship is healthy and positive.

White publicly confirmed their relationship with a series of fun photobooth pictures from the 2022 CFDA Awards, including one of them kissing. He later shared a playful photo of him and Van Patten kissing, jokingly asking Hulu for a second season of their show with the caption, “If we kiss, can we get a season 2?” Surprisingly, it worked – their show *was* renewed!
