Several days ago, we learned that the stars of \u201cBarbenheimer\u201d would be paired for Variety\u2019s Actors on Actors series. Cillian Murphy and Margot Robbie got their own Variety cover and they got to interview each other about their respective hit summer films. I wondered how it came together, then Variety editor\/journalist Ramin Setoodeh noted on Twitter that when they were putting together this year\u2019s series, Cillian\u2019s people reached out and asked if Cillian could be paired with Margot. I LOVE IT.<\/p>\n
You sort of wouldn\u2019t know it from the video and print interview, that Cillian was the one who wanted this. Maybe Cillian knows himself and understands his introverted nature, because Margot did most of the talking and he seemed quite happy with that. The video is better than the print interview though – you can see that Cillian is quite engaged with whatever Margot is saying, even if he\u2019s mostly just saying \u201cyeah, yeah, oh.\u201d It helps that Margot is a big Cillian Murphy fan too, and she\u2019s a Peaky Blinders<\/em> super-fan. <\/p>\n Margot also confirmed that Oppenheimer producer Chuck Roven called her and tried to convince her to change Barbie\u2019s release date. She said: \u201cI was like, \u2018We\u2019re not moving our date. If you\u2019re scared to be up against us, then you move your date.\u2019\u201d<\/em> You can read the Variety piece here, but I would recommend the video:<\/p>\n
