With almost 30 blockbuster movies under her belt, Margot Robbie admits she still has to pinch herself when she remembers she gets paid to do what she loves everyday
As acting icon Margot Robbie sits down with a small audience of guests for an intimate chat at central London’s BAFTA headquarters, she candidly recalls her journey through humble soap opera beginnings to global recognition as an acting enigma.
Next year will see the versatile powerhouse, who has enjoyed critical acclaim for six of her silver screen acting stints so far, will star in the highly anticipated Barbie movie, in which she plays the iconic doll opposite Ryan Gosling’s Ken. She asked her soap bosses to kill her character off "in a big spectacular death", but they refused, telling her they would keep the door open in case "it doesn’t work out in America".
"I know this sounds silly now, knowing how big the movie became, but at the time I was like, ‘No one’s gonna notice me in this film. It doesn’t matter what I do in this film because they’re gonna focus on Leo and I’ll just slip under the radar,’" she says. Drawing confidence from the positive reviews she received for I, Tonya, ambitious Margot wrote a letter to Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill director Quentin Tarantino, begging him to cast her in one of his upcoming movies.
"I spent time with her [Sharon’s] sister," Margot discloses. "The interesting thing about playing Sharon was I wanted her to be exuding light and goodness, happiness. Playing her was like being on holiday every day. It was delightful."
