Is this the first or last show of the season?
It's the first show.
Exactly. Energy-wise, I know.
What a crowd.
I know.
We have something to do with this.
Congrats on becoming a mama since the last time I saw you.
So cool.
It's a very big deal.
And you have two sons.
How's your family doing as well?
Good.
Yeah, everyone's great.
Yeah, two sons.
Twenty, James was 22 past Friday.
And Henry will be 16 in a few weeks.
They're good.
Yeah, great boys.
Young men.
Yeah.
I have this question for both of you
because I think it's hilarious
because we got different answers when we were asking.
When did you first meet?
Very quick, Kelly.
Well, Margot, when did we first meet?
This is when we turned into a married couple.
He doesn't remember the first time we met.
Yeah.
And I don't remember the second time we met.
Okay.
So really, the collective time that we both remember
was to make this film.
Yeah.
But actually, the first time we met was about eight or nine years ago
on Thanksgiving in L.A. at his manager's house.
And we had a nice, long chat.
We didn't have a nice, long chat.
You had a nice, long chat.
A nice, long chat.
It was very memorable for me.
I guess not memorable for Colin.
But I remember thinking, I was like, he is so lovely.
Like, he's so lovely and charismatic.
I suffer with a rare phenomenon called sober blackouts.
Yeah.
What do you think the first time y'all met was?
The first time we met was at a bar in Los Angeles
called the Sunset Tower that she doesn't remember.
I don't remember this at all.
And we had a lovely chat.
No, we didn't.
I thought she was amazing and so warm and inviting.
And she made me feel really kind of included
in the conversation she was having with somebody else.
And it was, I don't remember.
I think it's evened out.
I just love that the answers were different.
That's incredible.
No, wait.
So I heard that you put an Irish accent on, right?
So did he help you?
I heard he helped you.
There's a moment in the movie where my character
kind of impersonates him briefly.
So it's not a perfect Irish accent because Sarah
shouldn't be great at Irish accents.
And I just want to say that in case anyone is Irish
and watches this movie and is like,
that's a terrible accent.
I think a lot of why it's so hard as well is because
the Irish accent outside of the country, the island,
is always diddly idle.
It's all lucky charms.
But honestly, that's the relationship to it.
So it's kind of locked in because we do have a musicality
to the way we speak.
And obviously, there's 150 different accents on the island.
But she did great.
You did great.
No, I didn't.
You did.
And most of your character's not supposed to be.
I wasn't meant to be good.
Exactly.
Look, don't judge me.
One day when I do an Irish accent.
I did a little recording and I sent it.
You did.
A little voice memo and I sent it.
And it was perfect because she's taken the ****
out of me in the scene.
Yeah.
And it was kind of perfect.
And it's a bit diddly idle by choice.
Why don't we get Colin to do an Aussie accent
and we can all...
That'll be tricky.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's like stressed out right now.
No, I do want to ask you this question because we're talking
about light a lot this episode and this season.
And it's good to have those people.
I think the older we get too, we start to go,
you're not good for me.
Like this energy is not good for me right now.
Not that anyone's good or bad.
But it's like having those people in your life that actually
do bring out the light in you or you feel are a light for you.
Do you have those people?
Honestly, you were that person for me.
I mean, obviously, while we were filming.
The first time you met or the first time?
Probably the second time.
You were that person for me the second time we met.
Definitely the third time.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, I...
Same.
Yeah.
Same, love.
You've got a hair on your face.
Thank you.
But like shooting, we were just...
It was just such a joyful experience.
Yeah, it was.
We were like in this like little happy bubble.
And yeah, I don't know.
We were like joined at the hip.
That's nice.
That doesn't always happen.
No, it doesn't.
When you're working, yeah.
It doesn't.
I mean, and when you're promoting a movie,
you're always like, no, we had a great time.
And you usually always did.
But like this was like really, really special.
But sometimes you lie.
No, no, no.
I've been lucky.
I've always had a great time.
But this was really special.
It was really special, yeah.
And we would like come into it.
On the rare occasion one of us wasn't in a scene,
we'd still come into it just to hang out.
We'd pop out to the office just to say hello
and have a hang and listen to music, yeah.
And like we don't sit in our own trailers.
We'd like be like, what you doing?
And we'd just go hang.
It was so nice.
Oh, that's nice.
Yeah.
So yes, you were my first met.
Same.
I go the same.
Yeah.
I love that.
What she said.
Flip it.
Well, for those that haven't seen the film,
kind of fill us in.
Kind of explain it for everyone.
You do it.
Okay.
I like all the doors.
Once upon a time,
there were two people who were at stages in their lives
where they weren't content and weren't really aware
of how discontent they were perhaps.
And they meet in the start of the film at a wedding.
And they are, through a set of circumstances,
put together in a car and forced to go on a road trip.
And the GPS in the car, for no ever fully explained reason,
tells them to go to certain places.
And when they stop at this place, there's a door.
It could be in a field.
It could be in a car park.
And they're told to go through the door.
And the door brings them back to various stages
in either her character's life or my character's life
that they get to revisit their past
so that they can clean up their present
and understand the context that arrived them
where they are in their lives.
And it brings the two of them together, of course,
because it's a very deep and meaningful journey.
And it's basically a road trip movie
with a little bit of romance
and with some questions about what it is to be human,
what it is to forgive your past,
whether it's grief or sadness,
and clear up the road behind you a little bit
so you can live a freer path in front of you, I suppose.
Yeah.
That was so well said.
It was unbelievable.
I know.
I have more questions.
Give me a minute.
You, sir, we've talked about your dancing skills before
on this show.
But you have a dance in the film.
Were you excited about this?
Did you know about it before you signed on?
No. Yeah.
Okay.
Excited, no.
Know about it, yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
You answered them all at once.
I love that.
Yeah.
Yes, with that moment.
I was a nervous wreck, I was.
Not that time.
That time was easy.
Did that make the film?
We haven't seen the final version.
Yeah.
Can't wait.
Spoiler alert.
Shh.
Don't tell us.
No, I was a nervous wreck,
but we had Galen Hooks did some extraordinary choreography
on the film.
Because it takes you back to high school, right?
Yeah, so we both go through this door,
because the door is either her past or my character's past.
And we went through the door, and it was my high school
on a day where the high school musical is happening,
and I played the lead in it.
Yeah, I had to get ahead in advertising.
I like the scene, though, because it's amazing
what sets us up on the trajectory for our future
of things that happen in our childhood
that are traumatic, that kind of affect,
the dominant effects of that.
Yeah, and we can't wait to step away from them
as quick as possible.
Yeah, for sure.
We can't wait to leave for survival
and forget about the moments when we were mortified
or when we felt shame, and we just want to bury them
in the past, but they're always there lingering
to kind of come up in all sorts of mysterious ways
in our future, you know?
Yeah.
So unless you clear it a little bit,
it'll always have a little bit of a hold over you.
So it's that kind of thing.
But the dance was terrifying, and she was thrilled
watching me squirm.
You come in and sing.
You sing as well in it.
Yeah, she does.
She said she can't sing.
That's when I was squirming, because I was like,
I do not like singing in front of people,
let alone hundreds of extras in our crew and Colin,
and it was very embarrassing.
But I was, yes, tickled pink to watch him do
his high school musical routine.
It was very, very funny.
It keeps cutting back to me laughing in the audience,
and that's just actually me laughing.
It's not.
There was no acting whatsoever.
And then my character stands up and kind of joins in,
and then they run out.
It's cute.
I know.
It's sweet, the saving of the moment.
That's a really sweet thing.
So there's also a road trip element, obviously,
throughout the whole film.
You're in a car.
So do you like a road trip?
Are y'all into road trips?
Love a road trip.
Well, I kind of know you're into road trips.
Yeah, yeah.
But like, no, this is a real thing.
I'm like, how does one earn this?
But you were actually voted as Ireland's dream road trip
companion this year.
Really?
You were voted that.
You must road trip a lot.
That's a thing?
I guess it is, sir.
Wait, is that real?
Did you not get the award?
Was it like a golden steering wheel?
Who voted?
I don't know.
We found out and everyone wants to road trip with you.
What the hell are you doing on road trips?
No idea, man.
I love a road trip.
I'm never happier than when a steering wheel is in my hand
and, yeah, tunes are on and we're, yeah.
Love it.
I can so see Ireland voting for you to be the ideal road trip
partner.
It was a wise choice voting for me.
All right, well, it's just meaningful moments in life.
We wanted to ask about some meaningful firsts in their
lives.
So this is a quick round of rapid fire firsts.
Uh-oh.
I'm just going to read it.
So you can just pass.
I'll have a sip of water.
I'll just read.
Pass.
Read them out and then we can each say ours.
Okay, so what's your first big purchase?
What was your first big purchase?
In life.
You sang it.
My first, like, designer thing I bought myself was a pair of
yellow Ralph Lauren gumboots, of all things.
What is a gumboot?
What do you mean?
Gumboots, like wellies.
What do you call that in America?
A wellington boot.
Yeah, wellies.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like rubber.
A muck boot?
Is that what we call it?
Molded sole and ankle is the same.
The rubber boot.
Yeah.
You go farming in them.
What did you call it?
Never come up before in America.
Wellies.
I call them gumboots.
And we call them wellies.
Why do we have different names for everything?
It's just to keep us as the other.
It just separates us.
It's a very nefarious way.
Division on the smallest level.
We always get the same adapters, you know what I mean?
That's annoying.
Yes, it is very annoying.
Anyway, sorry, rapid fire questions.
What is it?
Wait, I didn't ask.
First we purchased.
A pair of Harley Davidson leather boots from a shop called
Genius in Dublin when I was about 17.
When I was doing that line dancing thing and I had a bit of
pshh.
Yeah.
Harley Davidson boots.
Yeah, I'm a real man.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I still had a BMX.
I like it.
Yeah, yeah.
On your ten feet or something.
With me pegs on the back.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, first time you remember getting in trouble?
I don't know.
But I definitely was young.
I definitely started young.
I faked a doctor's note for school.
Sorry, mom.
I was the kid you would go to if you needed someone to forge
your parent's signature.
I was very good at that.
Nicely done.
I didn't get caught, though, for that.
I got caught for other things.
I did because of a friend.
Someone ratted on you?
No, she used my same note and we got caught.
Amateur.
I know, amateur hour.
What is yours?
I went to see Simple Minds in concert when I was 13 or 14 in
Dublin and then I missed the bus home so I was stuck in the
middle of the city and it was before cell phones and then
about 1 o'clock in the morning my dad.
He's freaking out.
Yeah, he's a drag man.
1 o'clock in the morning I was standing in the middle of
O'Connell Street in Dublin and my dad and my mother and my
brother and two sisters were in the car.
Dublin's small but it's not that small.
And they drove up and my dad was just...
I remember his teeth were purple and when his teeth were purple
from red wine, watch out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And he wasn't violent around him but he had a bit of an edge to
him.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That wasn't a great night in the house.
It was always the time before the whooping that I got that was
the most terrifying.
Always.
I'd rather have the whooping.
Can we just jump right to that moment?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because knowing your time is terrifying.
For sure.
It's going to be so bad.
Okay, first time you did something you didn't think you
could at first.
Wait, okay.
First time you did something you didn't think you could at
first.
I'm like a one-handed like cartwheel and thinking this is
going to be terrible.
This is going to go really badly wrong.
And?
And then it worked and I was like, cool.
That worked out.
What about you?
Smoke rings.
Oh, cool.
Oh, smoke rings.
Yeah.
A big moment in my evolution as a young man.
Yeah.
No, that's pretty cool.
I couldn't.
I used to see people do it and they'd do small ones and big
ones and small ones would go inside big ones and I was like
what the hell?
It was like balloon animals.
I couldn't make sense of it.
And then one day I just locked that jaw and I hit it out.
Yeah.
Oh, you win.
That's good.
Yes.
Not recommending it for anyone watching.
Do not try it at home.
It was done by a professional.
A big, bold, beautiful journey is in theaters now.
Be sure to go see it, everybody.
And before we go to break, we've got a premiere gift for
everyone in our audience to create memories in your homes
