During that year, Robbie participated in a whirlwind press tour and was also on hand during awards season. After that, though, the actress took a lengthy break from acting, though the Australian actress has since jumped back into the game. Her <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/upcoming-movies-2025-movie-release-130453990.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:2025 movie release;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">2025 movie release<\/a>, <em>A Big Bold Beautiful Journey<\/em>, is now in theaters and, amid its release, Robbie is revealing why she agreed to join Colin Farrell in the film.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Based on her career, it feels like Margot Robbie is very thoughtful when picking roles. When it came to <em>A Big Bold Beautiful Journey<\/em>, though, the situation was a tad different, considering she was <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/movies\/articles\/margot-robbies-first-leading-role-000400156.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:choosing her first leading role;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">choosing her first leading role<\/a> following a hiatus from acting. Robbie got real about the decision-making process during an interview with The Associated Press, which was shared to the news outlet\u2019s <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@apnewsentertainment\/video\/7551074115713617207\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:TikTok;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">TikTok<\/a> account. Robbie revealed she always intended to take a break after Barbie\u2019s run, but it seems she just couldn\u2019t say no to ABBBJ:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"mb-4 border-l-2 pl-5 italic text-tertiary\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">I said after Barbie went so big and went so wide across the globe, I was making a conscious choice to not jump straight into another job. I just thought everyone\u2019s probably seen enough of me for the minute. But this was the first script I read and said, \u2018God, I\u2019ve got to be a part of that.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>A Big Bold Beautiful Journey<\/em> is directed by Kogonada and tells the story of two strangers who unexpectedly cross paths and end up taking a fantastical trip down memory lane. In the process, they both relive pivotal moments from their lives, which could have ramifications on their futures. Considering that premise, I can understand how the story would\u2019ve leapt off the page for Margot Robbie. The Oscar nominee went on to explain during her interview, though that there were other elements that factored into her decision to board the film:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"mb-4 border-l-2 pl-5 italic text-tertiary\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">I\u2019d been wanting to work with Colin for so many years I wasn\u2019t aware of Kogonada\u2019s work. I\u2019d heard of him, but I hadn\u2019t watched his films. And I went and watched them, and I was like, \u2018Oh my God, this is a real filmmaker here. And so yeah, and the script, Seth Reiss wrote this incredible script, and it was just nothing to say no to, you know?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">More on Margot Robbie<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"From left to right: Colin Farrell and Margot Robbie looking forward in A Big Bold Beautiful Journey.\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/9.l8hQlm0zhVAOsyaf1cow--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/cinemablend_388\/52c6ca68f591fb1886d5a7257d375783\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>From left to right: Colin Farrell and Margot Robbie looking forward in A Big Bold Beautiful Journey.<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/movies\/articles\/time-margot-robbie-shoved-down-190142138.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:That Time Margot Robbie Shoved Down A Big Beautiful Shepherd\u2019s Pie Right Before Making Out With Colin Farrell;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">That Time Margot Robbie Shoved Down A Big Beautiful Shepherd\u2019s Pie Right Before Making Out With Colin Farrell<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Personally, I\u2019m glad to see Robbie (who\u2019s also produced her share of films) is back at it when it comes to her acting career, and it seems she had a lovely time working with the delightful Colin Farrell.
