Cillian Murphy & Margot Robbie | Actors on Actors 

The person who paired them up deserves a raise

It's so rare to see Cillian Murphy enjoying an interview and I am all in for it.

I am happy that finally Cillian Murphy is getting the spotlight he always deserved

Cillian is so gracious and polite to let Margot just speak without interruption. Love him❤

Barbenheimer taking over the summer was something the world needed, two completely different movies bringing people together.

Apparently, it was Cillian's team that reached out to Variety asking for the pairing, and I find that super wholesome.

The line by Margot Robbie "Hopefully not the last time", at the end truly defined how much she admires Cillian as an Actor

I was in Ukraine when I watched Oppenheimer. In the middle of the movie, the air raid alarm at the cinema went off, so employees asked us to leave or stay at our own risk. Everyone decided to stay, and in 5 minutes, there was a scene of the test explosion. Jesus, that was something so immersive that even Nolan couldn't imagine

I suffer from debilitating depression and anxiety, don't leave the house very often and struggle with crowds. I really wanted to overcome it and see Barbenheimer. I got on the bus, went to the cinema, got popcorn and watched Barbie. Adored it. Then got nachos with cheese and watched Oppenheimer. Adored it. Came home smiling and showed myself I can really do this. Start to live again. It was a great day for me.

I just love how natural cillian is… no vanity, nothing fake, no facade… just him, pure and simple. It’s really calming listening to him

Admirable how calmly confident they are. A great representation for a new generation of actors / actresses. Throughly enjoyed watching them discuss without the need to interrupt.

I loved the humbleness of cillian when he was just listening to margot speaking about barbie. It shows you that he is not a guy with arrogance or ego. Loved it!!

"Audiences don't like being told 'you should see this or you should see that'. They will decide and they will generate the interest themselves." - such a brilliant quote

apparently Cillian asked his team if he could be paired up with Margot and when she was approached she immediately said yes. what a great conversation.

I'm not a person to ever watch celebrities talk, I have to say, this conversation was so calming, pure and beautiful.

Cillian Murphy is such a legendary actor. I'm so glad he is finally getting the recognition that he deserves. Far too often, talentless, marketable, pretty faces get all of the attention, and it's refreshing to see true talent finally get the spotlight.

Cillian doesn't look like he hates life in this. How delightful it is to see him smile and laugh through the conversation. He initiated this pairing and wanted to be there, please give him more chances to make his own choices. The result is seeing him truly happy to engage with someone.

Cillian is like the scientist who's just consumed by the work and is phenomenal at it, while Margot seems more like a CEO who's just very savvy in almost all departments. I'd love to see a movie produced by Margot starring Cillian

Kinda dumb to add a comment to over 8000 comments, but here goes .. this is the very best behind-the-scenes video ever done. A conversation. Not an interview. A conversation beyond description with 2 of the best .. and I'm allowed to listen in. Thank you.

I can literally listen to Cillian Murphy talking for like the whole day ....

The most Cillian has been engaged in an interview due to the intelligent nature of the conversation rather than him having to answer the endless superficial questions required of most interviews. Both are gigantic yet still ascending. Can't wait to see what's next from them.

Y'all the way I was DEVOURING every single bit of Cillian's talking. Only the fans know how precious is having him speaking so lightly and for such a long time. That man never shows up anywhere, he doesn't have social media, it's a suffering to love him

Cillian Murphy finally getting attention that he deserves. I’ve loved this guy for YEARS!! I love it

Someone give this man a fun set with dance parties and movie nights, he deserves it. Greta, i'm looking at you.

Can we take a moment to appreciate that the producers even matched the microphones to the outfits? 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I love cillian asking “is she happy or happier” cause like yeah not having an internal monologue would get rid of so much anxiety

we need a movie with these two, I felt they had a lot of chemistry!

thank you for not cutting this down to 10 minutes

the fact they are also both Batman villains is so perfect

Barbenheimer was for sure the best event of 2023 in movies , these two deserved it , this event was amazing 👏

This man MUST win an Oscar! He was freaking monumental!

they both seem so nervous of each other and also in awe of each other

I now need a movie with them. Their energies play off each other so well, her energetic enthusiasm and his calm introspective vibe.

It's crazy how even their personalities are so opposite. Their representation to each movie is fascinating

Two intelligent people having a refreshingly in-depth and earnest conversation about their work and their processes. A real joy to watch, and fangirl Margot is right: Tommy Shelby is probably THE icon of tens.

Greta Gerwig literally can't make a bad movie, so Margot was so smart to get her on board. Noah is also a genius.

“I was like, ‘We’re not moving our date. If you’re scared to be up against us, then you move your date.’” And thankfully, none of them moved because both Barbie and Oppenheimer ended up being (arguably) one of the best things to happen to movie theaters in YEARS.

Barbenheimer will forever be iconic. Such a great event this year, the memes, the anticipation, the release day , the weeks after that. It was a really fun thing that brought thousands or even millions of people together on the internet, it was so fun. Love Margot and Cillian, this conversation between them was so enjoyable.

Him in black and her in pink… the stylists knew what they were doing for an interview like this🤌🏻

44:25 Margot is so sweet 🥺 But Cillian is also really lovely 😄

As someone who enjoyed the entirety of the Barbenhiemer phenomenon, it feels so surreal to see this paring actually take place. It HAPPENED AND ITS HERE

The Barbenheimer phenomenon was so crazy. Usually when two big movies come out simultaneously, one suffers greatly. But in this case, both movie actually helped the other movie succeed evm more.

Cillian is such an eloquent speaker. The way he is able to express his thoughts in a simple and clear but profound manner amazes me every time I see his interviews.

I would love to see Cillian Murphy & Margot Robbie working a film together, directed by Christopher Nolan, they look have a chemistry.

Greta showing the podcast of the woman who didn’t introspect before to Margot to help her find the Barbie character was a stroke of genius, I’m super impressed

I think it’s the first time I am seeing Cillian so comfortable during the interview. Margot really is such a positive influence on people. I need them in a movie. Imagine Cillian joining Margot’s and Ryan’s Ocean’s Eleven prequel

I’ve been absolutely enthralled by Cillian since I saw 28 Days Later in the theater, and I find it fascinating that he still covers his mouth so much when he’s being himself. He shies away in some way in every interview I’ve ever seen him in, and yet, he can play a villain so brilliantly. He’s just addictive and a joy to watch. Love all the praise he’s getting (and an Oscar nom and win, FINALLY!).

Their combination is so great as an interview

I love how he just ask her questions, and keeps her talking. As a fellow introvert, what a classic move Edit: 9k?!?😲 thank you guys! , stay hydrated!

Margot speaks for literally millions of us when she says: “of course there’s more story to tell…please, do it…”

What a fascinating pairing… especially if you take the Barbenheimer out of it. These two almost couldn’t be more opposite in their outward personalities, levels of expressiveness, even what they say they value (besides work), but yet their obviously true love of film and “cinema” (as Cillian kept saying :) ), as well as their thoughtfulness, curiosity, intellect, and admiration for good work, just bonded them. These Actors on Actors are amazing! I’ve always liked both of them, and it’s funny because they fascinate me for mostly different reasons. But one commonality they certainly share is their humility, passion, interest, and they’re both good listeners. I love how Margot fangirled in such a great way, and I love how Cillian started coming out of his shell and you can see him forget this is a filmed conversation for a bit. :)

I thought I’d get bored in places watching this but it’s was fascinating and I’ve listened so intently to their conversation and I feel so much more respect for them both in understanding how they prepare for the role. They are both brilliant - it feels relaxed and engaging to watch them.

Cillian laughed & smiled so much in this. Margot's joy and enthusiasm is contagious. I love seeing them together and hope for a new project with them in the leads.

Margot seems like such a student of the game. Will be very interesting to see the work she produces over the next 10-20 years

Both are brilliant! But listening how Margot talk about her work, dreaming big and yet down to earth and careful for every detail and her passion and radiant vibes which make everything to look so easy and fun, really set her apart. She is my personal #1 and I'm so grateful for all of her movies, interviews and even everyday appearance. Real sunshine 😍

Margot Robbie fangirling over Cillian Murphy like all of us is something i did not expect lmfao makes me love her even more

It was such an obvious yet such a surprising pairing that actually worked insanely well. I've never seen Cillian as interested in an interview as in this one and we have to give it to Margot and her enthusiasm and obviously her being a fan of Cillian helped the conversation go as naturally as it did. And I love how she got so excited when Emily's name was mentioned and she just didn't skip a bit and started complementing her and her acting. I love seeing great actors have such respect for each other.

Wonferful interview. Loved how Margot let the 'gushing' for the end. Admirable pair of artist and people.

By far my favourite acting role of Margot’s is in “I, Tonya”. So talented, such a complex character, very well done performance.

Whoever paired these 2 together deserves not just a raise but a medal. He's usually so bored during interviews lol. Love this so much. And the way the cast of each of these films supporting each other even though they were so different...love it

I didn't realise just how intelligent and business savvy Margot was. She's obviously a true force to the industry and I think her biggest days are ahead

i truly love the peace and quiet this whole conversation exudes. how wonderful it is to be able to speak and know that the other person is listening. how wonderful it is to see two lovers of film speak so candidly about the thing they love. really enjoyed this one. bless 🤍

This is so much better than an interview. Just like watching two talented and respectful friends having a chat over a coffee. Great video. Love both of these amazing actors.

I love she's still sticking to Barbiecore fashion And also the fact that both of them and the casts of both movies didn't shy away from giving shoutouts to each other's movies, there was no animosity during Barbenheimer, love to see it

I love how Margot doesn‘t let Cillian get away with his modest attitude and really grills him in a charming way on subjects like his apparent unawareness of the memes and the reasons why Nolan loves to work with him. You can really sense that she‘s 100% authentic and doesn‘t shy away from confidently stating that she knew that the movie was going to be a hit and that her performance was influential in convincing Matell.

Honestly i don’t even care if they were just reading the phone books I’d still watch for an entire hour to hear their accents. lol. I love that they sound so interested and actually explain the process of getting the movie made. Brilliant pairing. Killian & Margot prove they are brilliant actors & talented interviewers.

Omg, after two months I finally got around watching it. Before playing I was like “oh 50 minutes, that’s kinda long” but the first few minutes were enough to realize that it wasn’t gonna be enough! What a fantastic interview! It’s like Barbeheimer came full circle. You can see the respect between them, how Margot was a fan of Cillian’s work and, especially, how Cillian, who’s quite shy and discreet, totally opened up and was happy to be there with her. Whoever came up with this idea is a genius

An Irish and an Australian walked over to America and played two of the most iconic American personalities.

I have seen many interviews with Cillian Murphy, and none of them disarmed him like Margot. Amazing pairing!

Great interview. I just wrote a screenplay and to hear Margot talk about Greta's writing and soft pitch process was brilliant and inspiring.

This is so good. Loved this interview so much.

Margot bringing up Peaky Blinders made me so happy

I like how they are wearing the colors of their characters 😂

Such interviews educate the viewers at so many levels. The sincerity and calmness in telling the stories by them give insights into life.

I genuinely can’t begin to explain how much I love these two people

The bone structure in this interview is immaculate 👌💯

it's so fun to see them get more comfortable with each other throughout the interview and how interested they are in each others strategies and views, ahhh it's just so inspiring to see

Nolan tried to avoid mentioning Barbie during Oppenheimer's press tour due to his awkward stance with WB but positive events like this are what pop culture media should be about. Their being together shows how there never was any bad blood between filmmakers.

It's such a refreshing interview honestly. Cillian's mostly asking about how Margot took bold risks as a producer/actor for Barbie while Margot was just fangirling over Cillian's filmography. This was a good conversation

Being so experienced in their fields and asking questions to one another is a wholesome interview to watch!

I don't often like the "Actors on Actors" episodes (that I've seen--not a whole lot of them) but I completely enjoyed this one. Both Margot and Cillian take their craft so entirely seriously and treat it with such integrity. And they showed up in this episode with that same realness and integrity and respect for each other as well. So well done to both of you and to all who brought this episode together.

Loved this conversation. Can tell how excited Margot is meeting Cillian, she keeps interrupting her own questions with more questions before he fully answers or what he is answering with her own similar thoughts 😊

She’s so real for asking him about peaky blinders the fact that there are people out there who only know him as the “oppenheimer” guy and not as tommy shelby is crazy to me like y’all are missing out

The best interview I've ever seen!!

I literally enjoyed every second of this interesting, deep and genuine conversation! Both were interested to ask and to answer and to listen to each other. Thank you!!

Barbenheimer will forever be iconic

It feels so good to see a full-length-conversational-interview being given by Cilian. Could totally relate with Margot when she started talking and asking questions about Peaky Blinders 😅

aw it was so nice and sweet to hear both of them talk in a genuine and immersive manner ❤️ i hope we get more of em soon :)

You don't realize how much prep and work goes into creating a compelling character. Eye opening and easy to digest

Part of what made Barbenheimer so special to me was that it wasn't Barbie vs Oppenheimer but it merged them together and created a love-child/love-letter to cinema

The way Margot talks about producing and Greta really makes me think she’d be a great director one day. She has such a good grasp on the mechanics of movies and she just seems like she’d be able to make something really interesting that I’d 100% love

It's been 3 months. Here I am, still watching it. Their talk is so worth watching, i even imagine they'll make a good reviewers/critics (?)(I'm not sure I'm using the correct term) what I mean is there's no empty/useless question being asked because they both so passionate about the work themselves that they share the progress and everything magnificently. I hope they'd work on the same project some day, films, tv show or anything. I think I'd be excited to watch it.

Cillian and Margot's dynamic is one where you would think it would be something so odd because of how almost paradoxal it is, but this interview with them paired together honestly couldn't have worked out better. Both of them are so humble and grounded in their respective crafts, and it was so easy to just sit and admire them for who they are

The best part of Barbie and Oppenheimer released in the same day is that both are great movies and it encourages people to support both. It's like, "Hey there are two good unique movies today, please see both". I love the support from the Barbenheimer event 🙌

I love how Margot Robbie is a fan of Cillian. I definitely need a movie with these two.

This was so amazing. Loved every second of it.

I absolutely love how Margot is so excited while talking to Cillian about his role in Peaky Blinders. She looks like any other fan when meeting one of their favourite characters.

The reference about the PHD woman who can't introspect is PURE GENIUS from Greta. Impressive association to make with a Barbie character. Wow

That was genuinely so lovely.

This interview, conversation is so much more interesting and insightful and any interview of actor/actress by the journalist....Cillian and Margot so so comfortable in each other companies!
