Golden Girl

She burst onto the scene as a manipulative wife in The Wolf of Wall Street, inspired a million Halloween costumes with her seductive realistic portrayal of Harley Quinn, and then… disappeared.

Now she’s hitting the interview circuit once again with a slew of new movies (and tricks) up her sleeve. Welcome back, Margot Robbie, we’re very pleased to see you.

Margot Robbie delights in throwing herself into her performances. She once smacked Leonardo DiCaprio in the face while auditioning for The Wolf of Wall Street, revelled in her character Harley Quinn’s wicked behaviour on the set of Suicide Squad, and recently got caught up in a violent argument with co-star Sebastian Stan while shooting I, Tonya, a biopic about the notorious American figure skater Tonya Harding, and how her husband Jeff Gillooly (played by Sebastian) arranged to have someone break a rival skater’s leg prior to the 1994 US Figure Skating Championships. Margot became so overwrought while filming the scene that she stormed off the set screaming at Sebastian.

“We got so carried away in this scene where we’re having this massive fight, and he slammed my hand against a door and I think I even punched him in the side of the head,” Margot says. “It was such an incredibly intense argument that, for a moment, I forgot I wasn’t Tonya and he wasn’t Jeff and I wasn’t on a film set. Sebastian came running after me and asking me where I was going and I said I was going to the hospital because he had broken my hand in the fight... I forgot I was acting and nothing makes me more exhilarated than when I genuinely forget where I am.”
