Like the rest of us.. not everyone believes in her
Margot Robbie, the talented actress known for her roles in popular films such as "The Wolf of Wall Street," "Barbie," "Suicide Squad," and "I, Tonya," had a tough time convincing her family about pursuing a career in acting. In an interview with British Vogue, she revealed that her family had no connections to the entertainment industry and questioned when she would find a "real job." This skepticism from her family persisted for several years.
However, Margot didn't let this discourage her. At the age of 17, she relentlessly contacted the casting director of the Australian soap opera "Neighbours" until she secured a role on the show. After three years, she took a leap of faith and moved to Los Angeles where she signed with Management 360 and landed a part in the ABC drama series "Pan Am," which unfortunately got canceled after one season. Nevertheless, this opportunity opened doors for her, ultimately leading to her breakthrough role in "The Wolf of Wall Street."
Rather than waiting for roles to come to her, Margot actively pursued them, even those that people doubted she could handle. For instance, when initially told she lacked the star power to secure an indie film called "Z for Zachariah" in 2015, she convinced the financiers that her upcoming role in "The Wolf of Wall Street" would enhance her credibility. Margot was determined to prove that she could portray more than just the stereotypical promiscuous wife character.
Since then, she has made a name for herself with notable performances in films like "Focus" (2015), "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot" (2016), and "Mary Queen of Scots." However, it was her portrayal of Tonya Harding in "I, Tonya" that truly solidified her status as a remarkable actress. Margot not only approached the writer, Steven Rogers, for the role but also took on the role of a producer through her company, LuckyChap Entertainment, which she co-founded with her husband and friends in 2014. Her exceptional performance earned her an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress.
Despite achieving immense fame and success, Margot reveals that her family remains unpretentious about her accomplishments. They may be impressed momentarily, but then it's back to normal family affairs like dealing with a dog throwing up. It's those classic family dynamics that keep Margot grounded amidst her flourishing career.
