The One Rule Margot Robbie Introduced To Diego Calva While Living Together While Filming Babylon

Hi Ryan's new bonkers film Babylon, it's Margot Robbie and Diego Calva. Now the chemistry between the two is absolutely electric. Did that feed into the friendship off screen as well? Yeah, I mean chemistry is such a weird thing to try to explain because it's very evident when it's there and it's very evident when it's not there but you can't really pick and choose who you have chemistry with. So I was fortunate enough to be able to read with a couple of actors who are all brilliant actors but I don't know, there was something about, we were in Damien's backyard, he was filming it on his iPhone and just as soon as he said action it was just like, I don't know. Yeah, and I have to say I own this role to Margot because this moment, it was my first moment in LA, my first moment meeting Margot, my first day meeting Damien and I was so nervous. And then yeah, like something magical happened and then they cast me so Margot, thank you so much. No, it was all you. The first day in LA you landed this job? Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, I think I skipped a little, some steps. I'm booking a flight right now, I've got to go. The audition went so well you ended up moving in with Margot and her husband as well. Yeah, we were roomies for a little bit, it was great. Yeah, thank you for that. No way, sometimes it's a lonely place, Hollywood. And I was like the new kid, I didn't have like so many friends at the moment and I think Margot saw that and she said like, hey, you don't have to be alone playing cards by yourself, playing Pokemon by yourself, maybe you can come and live with us. Was Margot a good housemate? Like, can you review her for us? Like, did she do the dishes and everything that needed to be done, clear out the fridge? I'm a good housemate. I fell in love with Bell, her pit bull. That was just amazing. He was there for Bell, he didn't want to hang out with me, he just wanted to hang out with Bell. Actually, the only bad housemate habit I think was I didn't let him eat any of my Tim Tams because I only had one packet left and I knew I wasn't going to be home for a couple of months and no one was coming to visit for a couple of months and I was like, you can touch anything in that, you can eat anything, have everything in this house, just not that. I even wrote on it, I was like, do not eat these. Like with Sharpie label, like Diego no. Tim Tams are very Australian. Has Margot taught you any other Aussie slang? A few words we use? Aussie. I learned Aussie. We're starting with the basics. Do you know what a sheila is? No, what is it? What about a dead horse? A sheila is a lady. We're sheilas, we would be sheilas. And what I am then, so like, how do you call a boy? A bloke? A fella. Probably a bloke. Learning, I'm learning. Have you ever eaten dead horse? A what? Have you ever eaten dead horse? Oh, I haven't. Tomato sauce. This is a niche one. This is. This is from 1923. Have you ever eaten dead horse? Tomato sauce. I thought you were actually asking if you've eaten it. I was like, we don't do that. I was like, that's not an Australian thing. Welcome to Australia. I've never heard that before. Sorry, we're as confused as you are. The entire cast of Babylon has been nominated for a SAG Award. I've got to say, Diego, you have these nominations, you've only just started. Has this given you an unrealistic expectation of what a career is like in Hollywood? Because you've turned up and now all of a sudden it's a war, it's left, right and centre. I don't know, everything has been like so surreal, honestly. The only thing I know is like, todo lo que sube tiene que bajar, we say, so everything that is going up at some moment should go down. But that's a reasonable way of looking at Hollywood. Then if anything, if it doesn't go that way, the only way is up. And I can always come back and live with you. Exactly. If everything goes wrong. You're fine. Take care of it. Exactly. There's been so much hype obviously around the next film as well, Barbie. We've got to mention it in this interview. How do you bring such an iconic character to life like that? Do you know what's funny is we've been doing these interviews and Diego said the other day, he's like, so who's this Bobby person, everyone? Who is Bobby? Why does everyone keep asking you about Bobby? And I was like, Barbie. They're saying Barbie. The accent was confusing him. I was like, Bobby's probably like Michael's best friend or something. Everyone's like, how's Barbie? How's Barbie? No, it's going to be amazing. I can't, I mean, I'll hopefully be back in a couple of months to tell you all about it. We'll look forward to it. I'm looking forward to the lycra, the fluoro, the Ryan Gosling. You're great. Sorry, Margot. I love you. There's something for everyone in this film. So, Diego, what's next for you? How do you top this, you know, working in a major Hollywood film, getting all these award noms on your first go? I don't know. I've been seeing Margot, for example, being so happy being home, you know, here in Australia that I want to go back to Mexico, work there and I don't know, every time they want me in Los Angeles or in Hollywood, I will say yes for sure. There's a Neighbours reboot happening, you know. What? There's a reboot happening. That show you keep hearing about. Neighbours, yeah. Oh, okay, okay. I'll have to watch it too. Yeah, you've got 36 years to catch up on it. We were talking about the Tim Tams earlier. I didn't want this show to end without you getting to try some Aussie snacks, so we've got a few here. Can we bring them in over? I think these are all recommendations. What? These are recommendations from you last night on the red carpet. I love these ones. We've been eating these all day. You had the smaller version of these today. But Pods, I wanted you to try. And look, you can finally have a Tim Tam. You went straight in so quick. Why have you chosen these iconic snacks, Margot? Because I adore these. So we've got Burger Rings. And these are things you can't get when you're in England or America. You can get Vegemite and you can get a few different things, but Tim Tams, you can find that overseas. But these three, I don't know. This is gold. Is it Chicken Krimpy also? Chicken Krimpy. Truly one of the greats. I know everyone's got their favourite shake flavour for me. Chicken Krimpy. Yes. Have you now tried all of these things? You've got to taste the whole bowl at home with you. Mike and the Pods. You loved Tiny Teddies today. The one that looked like peels with chocolate? Yeah, Oval Teenies. Oh, yeah. Did you make them drown in the milk? You've got to put the Tiny Teddies in the milk and then they swim in the milk and then their little belly buttons get filled with milk. He's only got a few days in Australia. Okay, all right. Do it right. This thing is bad. You've got 38 hours to eat a lot of things. Someone mentioned a meat pie. He's like, what is that? And I was like, I forgot a meat pie. I've got to get you a meat pie, a sausage roll, chicken salt, frozen coke, chop tops. There's so much to do, Diego. In the meantime, Babylon trumpets into cinemas this Thursday, January 19. Please thank Martha, Robbie and Diego.
