Colin Farrell drops F-bomb in live TV interview

Not much of a gentleman.

Colin Farrell accidentally dropped an F-bomb during an interview with the US Today show with his A Big Bold Beautiful Journey co-star Margot Robbie today.

While promoting their new film on the NBC morning show, Farrell and Robbie gushed about their favourite on-set snack, a “crisp” or “chippy” sandwich, with host Craig Melvin.

“She’s constantly got pregnant appetite for the last 30-odd years,” Farrel said playfully about the Barbie actress, who was expecting her first child while filming.

“Tayto cheese and onion, white bread, white, cheap bread, thick butter, and I brought one in every morning for her. That was my job every night was to make that for her,” the Penguin actor, 49, added while enjoying the delicious snack himself.

After taking a bite of the sandwich during the live broadcast, he said, “That’s not bad. Is that Tayto? That is Tayto. Is that Tayto? It is.”

“I f**king knew it!” he declared after he received confirmation.

Incredible reaction shots, guys. That’s why they pay you the big bucks.

The expletive language caught Robbie off guard, as she stared at her co-star and nudged him.

“Oh my God!” Melvin, 46, said, as Farrell chimed in with a mouth full of food, “They misheard me!”

Fans took to the comments section of the Today show’s Instagram post to share their thoughts on the viral moment.

“It’s Collin Farrell … not expecting swearing is poor planning on your part,” wrote one user.

“I laughed out loud when it happened this morning! Haha everyone’s faces!” added another.

“Is swearing in the morning, not normal? I start swearing the second I get up lol,” quipped a fourth person.

A Big Bold Beautiful Journey hits Australian cinemas tomorrow.
