Following her breakthrough role in the 2013 film "The Wolf of Wall Street," Margot Robbie, initially uncertain about her acting future, contemplated stepping away from the industry. Robbie, known for her portrayal of Naomi Lapaglia in the Martin Scorsese-directed movie, gained widespread recognition and fame.
Expressing her doubts to her mother, Robbie recalls saying, "I don't think I want to do this," to which her mother responded with a straightforward, "Darling, I think it's too late not to." This moment marked a realization for Robbie that the only path forward was to embrace her newfound career.
Reflecting on the challenges of fame and the impact on her family, Robbie emphasized the dangers associated with intrusive paparazzi and the need for privacy. She highlighted the potential risks and disruptions caused by invasive pursuits for photographs, stating that the pursuit of sensational images could have serious consequences.
Despite these challenges, Robbie continued her acting journey, starring in various films such as "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot," "The Legend of Tarzan," "I, Tonya," and "Mary Queen of Scots." Notably, she assumed the role of Harley Quinn in the "Suicide Squad" series, including "Birds of Prey" and "The Suicide Squad" in 2021.
Describing the highs and lows of the entertainment industry, Robbie acknowledged the rollercoaster nature of the profession. She stated, "The way I try to explain this job and this world to people is that the highs are really high, and the lows are really, really low. And I guess if you're lucky, it all balances out in the middle."
Looking ahead, Robbie has promising projects on the horizon, including the movie "Babylon," co-starring Brad Pitt and set for a December 2022 release, and the live-action "Barbie" film alongside Ryan Gosling, scheduled for a 2023 release. Despite the early uncertainties, Robbie's career has flourished, and she continues to be a prominent figure in Hollywood.
