Margot Robbie

In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980's about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. The lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything in rock.

Welcome to the Summer of Margot Robbie

Launched by the dazzling depravity of The Wolf of Wall Street, Margot Robbie is a marquee name this summer

Meanwhile, she was sneaking off to auditions. She read for the part of Naomi—“the Duchess of Bay Ridge”—in Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street, based on the adventures of rogue trader Jordan Belfort. In the screenplay, Terence Winter describes the character simply as “the hottest blonde ever.” A Brooklyn-born striver, the Duchess hitches herself to a drug-addled, morally compromised wunderkind played by Leonardo DiCaprio. Robbie went off script in the audition to slap DiCaprio hard across the face. And got the part. Other roles followed, none particularly memorable. As Celine Joseph in Suite Française. As a war reporter in Tina Fey’s Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. As a con artist being schooled by Will Smith in Focus. But none of that matters. It was Wolf that defined her. It put her up with Sharon Stone in Casino and Cathy Moriarty in Raging Bull—one of Scorsese’s women.

I asked her about the accents, especially the spot-on depiction of coastal Brooklyn in The Wolf of Wall Street. Once upon a time, the downtown trains were filled with girls who spoke just like that. Robbie told me that she’d already spent two years figuring out how to sound American, “two years learning about the muscles in your mouth and bone structures and resonators and all that, so I had a good foundation.” For Wolf, she carried on with dialect coach Tim Monich, “one of the best in the world,” said Robbie. “Real people. We based it on women from Bensonhurst and Bay Ridge.”

I asked Robbie about the sex scenes. In Wolf, she partakes in some of the most graphic on-screen shenanigans I’ve ever seen, famously short-skirted in one scene, pushing a crawling DiCaprio away with the toe of her designer shoe, saying, “Mommy is just so sick and tired of wearing panties.”

“In that first low-budget film I did in Australia, I had a shower scene,” she told me. “So I was practically naked there as well, but it wasn’t anywhere as much as in Wolf, but it was still . . .”

She paused a moment, then went on.

“Actually, I hadn’t done a proper sex scene before. I’d done scenes where it’s leading into sex or sex has just finished, but I hadn’t done a start-to-finish sex scene like I did in Wolf. That was my first.”

“Is there any way to prepare?”

“No. Tons of people are watching you.”

“Were you worried you were not going to be able to do it?”

“There isn’t an option. It’s just like, This is what you need to do—get on with it. The sooner you do it, the sooner you can stop doing it.”

“It just seems very awkward.”

“It’s so awkward.”

Why Margot Robbie Thought Her Career Was Over After Making The Wolf of Wall Street

But the idea that she’d cover seemingly every magazine during the summer of 2016 would have seemed impossible to Robbie after The Wolf of Wall Street was released in 2013. In fact, she was convinced she’d never work again. “I was worried that people would be expecting too much of me now, like, ‘If Scorsese cast her in a film, she must be brilliant!’” she says. “Instead of having the chance to surprise people, I was worried that I’d disappoint them.”

On Beauty: Margot Robbie

On her career highlight

I mean, probably working with Martin Scorsese is pretty high up there. The first chat I had with Marty on set he really spoke to me as an equal. It wasn’t like: “oh she’s the new kid on the block, let me impart some knowledge”. He was conversing with me like a colleague he’s had for 25 years. When he was asking me about films he wasn’t presuming I hadn’t seen them because I was young. He was like: “you know that German film that was made in the Twenties?”. And I was like: “how on earth would I know?” but that meant the world to me that he showed me a similar respect to that he’d show people he had worked with for decades.

WONDERLAND AUTUMN 2017

IT was her breakout Hollywood role but Margot Robbie thought she wasn’t sexy enough to play a blonde bombshell in The Wolf of Wall Street.

“I was just terrified that people would see the movie and think ‘eugh! She’s not that great,’” Robbie said, of her “high-tempo sexy” character “Duchess” Naomi alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in the Martin Scorsese-directed biopic.

“When I was playing Naomi in The Wolf of Wolf Street it was so high-tempo sexy,” Robbie said.
“I was acutely aware that the line in the screenplay was ‘the hottest blonde ever’, I’m clearly not the hottest blonde ever.”

The description of the character she read for in Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street was “the hottest blonde ever”; she went off-script and slapped Leonardo DiCaprio hard across the face, launching her into the humid air of movie stardom. Scorsese later said he saw her as a combination of three legendary Hollywood dames: Ida Lupino for her “emotional daring”, Carole Lombard for her comedic ability and Joan Crawford for her toughness. “That changed the situation I was in,” she says slowly. “After that, when I could get things green-lit by being attached to projects? It was a big turning point for me.”
