Margot is a goddess but she can definitely look way better than this.
The dresses are not great (especially the second dress)..I think she needs a new stylist..
Margot Robbie skyrocketed to the A-List on the strength of her gutsy performance in Wolf of Wall Street, standing out despite a scenery-chewing performance by Leonardo DiCaprio. For her next trick, the Australian actress is going up against no less than one of the biggest movie star on the planet. In the snappy, highly entertaining Focus, Robbie stars opposite Will Smith as a thief who, after some initial friction, teams up with Smith's suave con man to pull off one of those glitzy international heists that movies like this specialize in. After that, Robbie's hot streak will become scorching when she takes on two iconic roles: as Jane opposite Alexander Skarsgard's King of the Jungle in the recently-wrapped Tarzan, and as the Joker's sidekick Harley Quinn in the eagerly anticipated Suicide Squad. We caught up with her recently to talk shop.
You went globetrotting in this movie.
I just found the energy in that city we filmed in, Buenos Aires, was infectious. I wanted to stay up all night, it was so much fun, it was really great. And as Will said, it was instrumental to the way we ended up playing the scenes. You couldn’t help but have that seep in to what we were doing.
Have you ever been in a real situation with a thief?
I have been robbed a bunch of times. And now that I know how to pickpocket, I understand why I have been pick-pocketed so many times, because I am the perfect mark. I am unobservant, I walk around and I am looking up at the sky and my bag is open, so I have been robbed a couple of times.
It looked like you were having a blast during filming.
It was incredible. I had the time of my life. I didn’t want it to end. You get so close to everyone you are working with, but this one was particularly hard to let go of. People would hang out, the shoot would be over and you would see people still hanging around to see what everyone is doing afterwards.
They said you came to the set in Croatia and you didn’t have a chance to change and you lost your clothes.
I wasn’t naked, just to clarify. I had been swimming right before going and I had to quickly rush to New York and so my clothes were actually still damp, and I had a pajama top on and ripped shorts and my shoes were wet. And I had no hair and makeup done.
What about all those beautiful costumes?
It’s so much fun. I can get really girly about this. That is an awesome part of the film, where you get to try on designer clothes, wear them, and have professionals do your hair and makeup and make you look stunning. It’s equally as fun on other films where you go to the other end of the spectrum and wear rags and have dirt painted under your nails and your teeth painted yellow. It’s really quite incredible and it’s really part of the process and it’s kind of integral to creating your character. But for this film it was nice to get a little dolled up.
When I last saw you, you were living in London.
Yeah, I am still living in London. I just really love the city, and I spend time in New York, that’s my other favorite city to live in. The humor is easier to relate to, and there’s more of a bridge between Australian personalities and English personalities and Australian to American for example, so I feel like it’s an easy transition for Aussies.
Margot Robbie looks ethereal on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar UK‘s April 2015 issue.
Here’s what the 24-year-old actress had to share with the mag:
On slapping Leonardo DiCaprio in her Wolf of Wall Street audition: “In my head I was like, ‘You have literally 30 seconds left in this room and if you don’t do something impressive nothing will ever come of it. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance, just take it.’ And he’s really scary. I can barely keep up. And he ends it saying, ‘You should be happy to have a husband like me. Now get over here and kiss me.’ So I walk up really close to his face and then I’m like, ‘Maybe I should kiss him. When else am I ever going to get a chance to kiss Leo DiCaprio, ever?” But another part of my brain clicks and I just go, Whack! I hit him in the face. And then I scream, ‘F*ck you!’ And that’s not in the script at all. The room just went dead silent and I froze.”
On Leo’s reaction to her slapping him: “‘I’m thinking, ‘You just hit Leonardo DiCaprio in the face. They’re going to arrest you because that’s assault. You’re definitely never going to work again, that’s for sure. They’ll probably sue you as well in case there’s a bruise on his face and he needs to film something else.’ ‘And then all of a sudden Marty and Leo just burst out laughing. Marty says, “That was great!” Leo’s like, “Hit me again!”’
