- I'm Saoirse.
And I play Mary in Mary Queen of Scots.
- I'm Margot and I play Queen Elizabeth the First.
(playful music)
- So we're gonna ask each other some questions Margot.
Quite nervous actually.
- I'm scared.
If you weren't an actor, what job would you love to do?
- It's funny you ask that,
because we were doing interviews earlier for radio shows
and I said that exact thing,
that I would love to work in the radio.
- Nice.
- And whether it was behind the scenes
or whether it was a presenter, I don't think I'd mind.
I'd quite like to a work on a music radio station.
And just not have to ever wear make-up ever again
and just not have any shoes on like I do right now.
What would you wanna do?
- When I was little, I wanted to own hotels,
slash be a magician, so that I can do both simultaneously.
- You can do both yeah.
- I don't know if that's what I want now.
I would wanna be still in film,
I'd need to be on a film set in some capacity.
I'd miss that too much.
But I'd love to work in pyrotechnics or special effects.
- That'll be fun. - That'd be pretty rad.
What's one thing your fans would be surprised
to learn about you?
- My fans (chuckles)
- Do your fans have a name for themselves by the way?
- I think someone told me ages ago
that they were called like the Saoirsettes or something.
- The Saoirsettes, that's cool.
- Something like that yeah.
What are yours called?
- I once said in an interview, I was like,
Oh I don't know, I didn't know I had that
and then I saw online that a fan, a very dedicated one,
was like oh my gosh, it's all our fault,
she doesn't know that we have a name,
like we're not doing a good enough job.
I was so upset, I was like no,
it's just cause I don't look online
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - at this stuff often.
But now I know they are the Robbers.
- The Robbers (chuckles)
- And I so appreciate them and they're very sweet.
And I hope they know that was just my ignorance.
- What was the question.
- I'm sorry, what something your fans
would be interested to learn about you.
- I cannot juggle.
- Oh you can't juggle.
Shocking. - That's the only
thing I can think of off the top of my head.
I also think I'm a better dancer than I actually am.
So it's, I don't know if you're surprised.
Everybody will be like, not really.
We all thought that. - We know, we got that.
- (chuckles) All right, king of the robbers,
queen of the robbers,
if you could take one personality trait of mine,
what would it be?
- Oh there's so many.
You're very quick witted, I would love to have that.
You can like come back with something so quickly
and it's very like, cool and funny at the same time.
- Thanks.
- I think if I've got a good comeback,
I'm so excited about it.
I kind of like, and then. - And then.
- That's nowhere near cool - Everyone's gone
Everyone's left - Yeah.
- Right girls, right, right, gone.
- We've both played a diverse range of characters
throughout our careers, what kind of role
would you most like to play next?
- I have always wanted to be in a silent film.
And it doesn't necessarily have to be an actual silent film,
just a film that doesn't have any dialogue in it.
I've always enjoyed doing stuff that
where I don't have to speak.
Cause then you don't have to learn lines.
And I would really like to play a boy
because I like the idea of figuring out what that
Physicality would be - Physicality
Yeah, yeah, I'd like that too.
- So I'd quite like to do that.
Splendid. - Splendid.
- What scene from Mary Queen of Scots
was the most challenging for you to film?
- Probably the first one, the first one I ever did.
I don't remember what it was
but I'm always terrified. - Yeah.
- Cause once you do that first scene, there's no going back.
You've committed to the mannerism,
you've committed to the accent,
you committed to their voice, everything.
And that scares me.
So like the weeks leading up to playing a role,
I get so stressed - Yeah.
- But once I've done that first scene,
I'm like, well I've established it now,
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- And now I'm just gonna stick to that.
- Gotta stick to it. - Yeah.
- Is it a good one? - Yes.
- Is it about you?
- Cause you can talk about me.
- Oh great, what is it.
- What was your reaction when you found out
we'd be working together.
- I was so excited.
Margot and I met about a year and a half
before we did the film together.
And I always thought you were brilliant
and like fearless as an actor.
And every single role you take on is completely different
and you can tell you just go for it,
and you're like, all right, like you were saying,
you're like, we'll I'm in it now,
so I'm just gonna go for it. - Yeah.
- But being able to share this with someone
who is not only really, really nice
but really really normal like you are
and you've like surrounded yourself
with your crew and your core friends
and that's amazing that you still have that,
even though you're, you know, this successful woman.
So, well done. - Thanks.
- You're welcome.
- [Margot] We're out of time I'm afraid.
- [Saoirse] We're out of time Buzzfeed.
