Is it any surprise that Margot Robbie is the talk of Tinseltown? She has become a cinematic chameleon since illuminating screens with an ethereal blend of talent and charm in 2008’s TV series Neighbours. Even in the quirkiness of Wes Anderson’s Asteroid City, her presence, albeit brief, left an indelible mark.
Last year, she stepped into the iconic plastic shoes of Barbie under Greta Gerwig’s thoughtful direction, playfully showing range and commitment that defied expectations. Robbie—who is gearing up for Kogonada’s forthcoming drama flick, A Big Bold Beautiful Journey— appears to be making significant strides in her career to become more recognized for her talent rather than just being a pretty face.
A recent Life & Style report highlights her intent to anchor big Hollywood movies independent of a male co-star’s fame. With husband and business partner Tom Ackerley by her side, this power couple is tactically redefining Margot Robbie’s role in the industry.
Margot Robbie’s Career Shift: Navigating the Path to Serious Roles
Margot Robbie is ready to shake things up. With a string of successful flicks under her belt, including last year’s Barbie, the actress, 33, is looking to break away from the “s*x kitten” persona that has followed her for years. Hence, she is ready to transition into a more serious actress. And it seems like she’s got a masterplan in mind.
In a recent report from Life & Style, it was revealed that Robbie is taking a page out of Leonardo DiCaprio’s book and plans to “go full Leonardo DiCaprio mode” in her career. This means taking on roles where she is the star of the show, carrying the entire movie on her shoulders, and proving her worth as an actress. The insider shared:
Basically, Margot is going into full Leonardo DiCaprio mode, where she will carry the entire movie on her back and hopefully, come up with a winner.
But this isn’t just a solo venture for Robbie, who currently has a net worth of $60 million. She reportedly has the full support of her husband, Tom Ackerley; he is standing by her side as she navigates this new chapter in her career. Together, they are recalibrating Robbie’s image and making strategic decisions to ensure her success as both a producer and a star:
This certainly makes life easier for Tom, who has had to grit his teeth while watching Margot make all these movies for the last 10 years with some of the most handsome men on Earth.
The Barbie actress has collaborated with many of the industry’s dashing leading men, such as Christian Bale, Brad Pitt, Leo, Ryan, Idris Elba, and Will Smith.
The Evolution of Margot Robbie’s Career: A Look at Her Latest Venture
One of Margot Robbie’s upcoming projects, A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, is a display of her dedication to taking on new and exhilarating roles.
In the film, she stars alongside Colin Farrell, but it’s clear that the actress is the leading lady and is ready to take on the responsibility of carrying the movie to success. With regard to the project, the insider stated (via Life & Style):
Colin Farrell is in that movie with her, but Margot is THE star and it’s her movie. As a couple, they are moving away, decisively, from the ‘s*x kitten’ identity Margot sometimes embraces and morphing her into a serious actress who can take on all the responsibility of a movie’s success for herself.
Robbie’s repertoire is already impressive, having enthralled audiences with her fierce character embodiments. That being said, her continued development promises an incredible journey of performance.
As she sets her sights on a brighter future in Tinseltown, fans can expect to see a lot more of her on the big screen. And with her talent, determination, and support system in place, there’s no doubt that she will continue to shine and prove her worth as a leading lady in the industry.
A Big Bold Beautiful Journey doesn’t have a release date yet.
