Hollywood stars Colin Farrell and Margot Robbie provided one of the most unscripted and hilarious moments on live television this week, when a casual chat took a sharply sweary turn.
The two actors were appearing on BBC's The One Show to discuss their new film, The Lobster, when the conversation turned to their first professional acting roles. As Farrell began recounting his early days on Irish soap opera Ballykissangel, his enthusiasm got the better of him.
"I was in a show called Ballykissangel for a while, a little Irish show... and it was a great gig. It was a great gig. It was my first gig, and it was f***ing great," the Dublin-born star declared, before immediately clasping his hand over his mouth in realisation.
The studio was plunged into a moment of shock followed by roaring laughter. Co-host Alex Jones scrambled to control the situation, exclaiming, "We're live! We're live!" while Margot Robbie dissolved into hysterics beside him.
Farrell, utterly mortified, repeatedly apologised to the hosts and the viewing audience. "I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! I'm so used to being on film sets!" he pleaded, as the segment threatened to descend into comic chaos.
Despite the slip-up, the interview continued in good spirits, with the incident instantly cementing itself as a classic live TV blooper. The clip has since exploded across social media, with fans praising the actor's genuine and unfiltered reaction.
