Margot robbie the wolf of wall street
Pressure, you suspect, is something that Robbie thrives on: her role in The Wolf of Wall Street is a tough one, especially for a young actress at the start of her career.

She changed into her pajamas for the flight, she says, only for the airline to lose her luggage, so she made a pit-stop at Topshop on Broadway, frantically grabbing outfits off the rails and getting changed in the taxi as it screeched towards the unmissable meeting.Īfter a run of close shaves and near misses, her story’s ending almost feels anticlimactic. Robbie describes the journey with wide eyes and big gestures, teasing out the seat-of-her-pants lunacy of it.

The previous day, she had been cave-diving in the Adriatic Sea, and had spent the night at a beach club, Carpe Diem, on the island of Hvar.Īs she walked back to her hostel at around 6am, barefoot and wet from an early-morning swim, her agent rang and told her to get to the port and take the first catamaran to the mainland. The 23-year-old Australian actress was backpacking around Europe when she got the call.
