Margot Robbie wears a cherry red outfit to match her strawberry hair as she gives Colin Farrell a warm hug on the set of A Big Bold Beautiful Journey

Margot Robbie was seen giving her costar Colin Farrell a warm hug on the Los Angeles set of their new film A Big Bold Beautiful Journey on Wednesday.

The 33-year-old Barbie beauty wore her white blonde hair a soft strawberry red with heavy bangs that framed her photogenic face.

The Australian A-lister modeled a cherry red top and slacks as he held on to a matching coat under a rain machine.

The film icon walked with her 47-year-old Irish costar before leaning in for the close embrace.

Farrell wore a pale gray blazer with black trousers and his dark hair cut short.

The actors have been shooting the film, directed by Kogonada, in Los Angeles all month.

A Big Bold Beautiful Journey is described as an ‘imaginative tale of two strangers and the incredible journey that connects them.’

The film begins shooting in the spring in LA.

Imperative Entertainment’s Dan Friedkin, Bradley Thomas and Ryan Friedkin are producing the feature along with Reiss and Youree Henley, while The Menu’s Seth Reiss wrote the script.

Farrell and Kogonada both worked on After Yang.

This comes after Margot claimed she was planning to take a step back from acting following the success of her lead role in Barbie.

Fronting the Awards Line edition of Deadline, the Australian actress revealed her ambitions to work off-screen after years of building her acting portfolio.

Speaking to the publication, Margot said she wants to take a break from starring in films as she believes everyone is ‘sick’ of seeing her after her role in Greta Gerwig’s blockbuster.

‘Also, I think everyone is probably sick of the sight of me by now. I should probably disappear from screens for a while, she said.

“Honestly, if I did another movie too soon, people would be like, “Her again? We just spent a whole summer with her. We are over.”

Margot added: “I don’t know what I’m going to do next, but I hope it’s some time away.”

The thespian noted that she has also been busy working behind the screen producing.

Elsewhere in the interview, Margot revealed her ambitions to direct her own film after years of producing critically acclaimed content.

“I really want to direct,” she said. ‘I’ve felt like I wanted to direct for about the last seven years. But I have always seen it as a privilege, not a right’.

Through her Lucky Chap production company, she has helped shepherd a number of projects to the screen, including her rollercoaster 2017 dramedy I, Tonya.

Starring Margot as disgraced figure skater Tonya Harding, the picture was showered with praise and won a supporting actress Oscar for Allison Janney.

Since then, Lucky Chap has given the world both Emerald Fennell’s films, her debut Promising Young Woman and this year’s Saltburn.

But its most resounding success to date is Barbie, which turned out to be a global juggernaut, crossing a billion dollars at the box office.

“I’ve been slowly working towards feeling that I’ve earned the right to direct,” Margot said: “and I feel like I’m getting closer to that feeling now.”

She reflected: ‘It’s also difficult because I’ve been lucky enough to work with and learn from so many amazing directors.

“Often when something comes to me, it’s like, ‘Wouldn’t it be great to act in it so I can see them live?”

Margot then said: ‘It’s funny how many directors ask me about the people I’ve worked with.

“They say, ‘Oh, does Scorsese pre-ignite and then rehearse?’ Or, ‘Does Damien Chazelle plan the music before the scene?’ You realize that directors never get to see how other directors work.”
