The movie that helped Margot Robbie realize she was a “good actor” has been identified. The 32-year-old Australian performer has made a reputation for herself in Hollywood, but she wasn’t always sure of her acting chops. Earlier this week, Robbie made an appearance at a BAFTA event in London, where she spoke about her over 30 playing credits in films and her work as a producer over the last ten years.
The Babylon actress is likely most known for her work as Harley Quinn in the DC Universe or her part in Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street. Additionally, she appeared in the 2019 drama Bombshell. When addressing an audience, Robbie claimed that watching I, Tonya made her realize she was a “wonderful performer.” The first time I viewed a movie and thought, “OK, I’m a fine actor,” according to Robbie
She played real-life figure skater Tonya Harding in the 2017 movie, which was also Robbie’s first significant producing credit. For her portrayal, she was nominated for a Bafta and an Oscar for Best Actress. For her portrayal of Harding’s strict mother LaVona Fay Golden, Robbie’s co-star Allison Janey won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar and Bafta. The Hollywood Reporter quoted Robbie as saying the moment gave her the confidence to “reach out to my idols,” including Quentin Tarantino.
The actor continued by saying that Tarantino’s 2019 movie Once Upon a Time… Hollywood cast her as Sharon Tate as a result of her reaching out to him. Working with Tarantino, according to her, was something that was on her “bucket list.”
