Margot Robbie and Cillian Murphy sat down together for one of the most eagerly anticipated interviews of the year, as part of the star-studded Actors On Actors series, released on Variety's YouTube channel yesterday.

In addition to the 'Barbenheimer' phenomenon, the pair – who are gearing up for a major awards season following their lead roles in Barbie and Oppenheimer – ventured into other topics of conversation, including Margot's love for Peaky Blinders, which Cillian starred in. While discussing the acclaimed series, Margot went on to enthuse about Irish singer-songwriter Lisa O'Neill, who featured on the soundtrack.

"I love the song that plays at the very end of the last season, 'All The Tired Horses'," Margot said.

"Yeah, Lisa O'Neill," Cillian nodded.

"I love that song so much – it's on my cry playlist," she resumed. "Like if I need to cry on set... It's so good. I love it."

"She's special," Cillian remarked.

Lisa's single is a cover of a Bob Dylan song, which featured on his 1970 album Self Portrait.

“It is not an overstatement to say that it was beyond my wildest dreams to be ‘Ordered by the Peaky Fucking Blinders’ to cover this beautiful song from Bob Dylan," Lisa wrote on her website last year. "Go raibh míle maith agat Peaky Blinders. Go raibh míle maith agat Cormac Begley, Colm Mac Con Iomaire agus Ruth O’Mahony Brady for whom without, this track would not exist.

"We recorded this version of ‘All the Tired Horses’ in an old horse stables in Cabinteely, South Dublin over the space of two days," she continued. "We recorded by constant candlelight as a dear friend was dying at the time. This all contributed to the energy and the charge of the final track. That friend has since passed. I wish to dedicate this song to Mick O’Grady – The Long Distance Kid – 1943–2022."

2023 has featured many highlights for Lisa O'Neill – from the release of her first album on Rough Trade Records, All Of This Is Chance, to performances for Later… With Jools Holland and NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert series.
