That Time Margot Robbie Shoved Down A Big Beautiful Shepherd’s Pie Right Before Making Out With Colin Farrell

Although Margot Robbie’s character in *Barbie* didn’t share a kiss with Ryan Gosling, her upcoming 2025 film will feature romantic scenes with Colin Farrell. However, one particular kiss scene proved a bit awkward to film. Just before they shot the scene, Colin Farrell fed Margot Robbie a large portion of shepherd’s pie, which created a pretty uncomfortable moment for everyone involved!

The new fantasy romance film, *A Big Bold Beautiful Journey*, looks incredibly romantic in its trailer – full of longing looks, tender hand-holding, and a lovely kiss. Interestingly, the actors have said that filming a kiss is much easier when everyone has good breath!

In the case of Margot Robbie, she downed a shepherd’s pie given by Colin Farrell before making out with him for the movie. Check out the hilarious story she told The Scott Mills Breakfast Show that’ll make you self-conscious about your own jungle breath before kissing someone:

I was eating the shepherd’s pie quickly, and he was surprised, asking if I really had to eat it at that moment. I jokingly replied that I’d have gum instead, so he didn’t need to worry.

Offering your romantic lead a meat pie right before a kiss probably isn’t a good idea for a movie! But honestly, shepherd’s pie is just too delicious to resist. I’m really wondering if the gum actually worked, though!

Luckily, it seems Margot Robbie’s breath – playfully described as smelling like shepherd’s pie – didn’t bother the Academy Award nominee, who called their kiss on the BBC radio show “a very cozy kiss.” Since the actor from *The Banshees of Inisherin* made the pie, it’s funny to think he might have subconsciously put that homemade feeling into the kiss.

Kissing scenes might seem sweet and romantic when you’re watching them, but the actors involved sometimes have a different experience! Lori Loughlin from *Full House* shared that her co-star, John Stamos, often ate Doritos and smoked a cigar right before filming a kiss. She admitted that kind of breath definitely wouldn’t set a romantic mood for her.

Liam Hemsworth shared on *The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon* that his *Hunger Games* co-star, Jennifer Lawrence, would often eat strong-smelling foods like garlic or tuna before they had to film kiss scenes. He joked that he would have quickly grabbed breath mints or gum to prepare.

I was so charmed to hear about what Margot Robbie discovered while filming with Colin Farrell! Apparently, he’s a fantastic cook – she even found out he makes a mean shepherd’s pie! But that’s not all; she said he has this incredible energy, she playfully called him ‘The New Zac Efron’! She got a real surprise seeing him perform a full song and dance routine for their movie, showing a side of him I don’t think many people get to see. Honestly, a co-star who can cook, sing, dance, *and* be a good sport about, well, anything – including a passionate kiss – sounds absolutely wonderful to work with.

Let’s be honest, nobody wants shepherd’s pie breath during a romantic moment! But Colin Farrell and Margot Robbie apparently didn’t let that bother them while filming their new movie. Their on-screen chemistry definitely sizzled, and I’m happy to report that kiss scene is pure magic. You can check it out for yourself when *A Big Bold Beautiful Journey* hits theaters on September 19th.
