The pair said "cheers" with their chip sandwiches before digging into the unique treat.

Farrell took a big bite out of the sandwich and with a full mouth expressed, "That's not bad!"

In a recent interview for the film, they revealed that Robbie when filming, would eat a "chippy sandwich" every day on set.

"It was my job at night to make a chippy sandwich, get a packet of Tayto cheese and onion and put them between two pieces of white bread with lashings of kerrygold butter," Farrell revealed.

"Squash it down, put it in tin foil, put a big 'M' on it, throw it into the fridge and then it would be delivered before makeup the very next day."

"I ate one every single day," Robbie confirmed. "It was my favourite part of this job."
