With the role of Harley Quinn in David Ayer’s 2016 film Suicide Squad, Margot Robbie was hailed as an actress with the ability to act like a psychopath. The actress went on to star in several other iconic movies such as Babylon and more.
In a roundtable interview with Bryan Cranston, Diane Kruger, Robert Pattinson, and Armie Hammer, Margot Robbie sat down for a chat. Talking about the methodology of an actor, Robbie revealed to The Hollywood Reporter roundtable that she has a unique routine before any opportunity.
“I am kinda like a crazy person when I prep. I do timelines and backstories and I work with a dialect coach and a movement coach and an acting coach and I just yeah, I need to do a lot before I show up to certain [roles]”
She further continued,
“So I can throw it all out the window when I get on set but if I hadn’t done all the work beforehand, I would just be too scared [to be on-set]”.
Since Robbie does so well in her acting roles, the actress also chooses selective movies and projects to star in. With Barbie earning a billion dollars at the global box office, the producer of the movie revealed why the film became so successful.

With Margot Robbie in the lead role, Barbie was bound to be a success. Director Greta Gerwig created a masterpiece satirical on patriarchy and what the other half of the population goes through every single day. With the film being a highly original concept, producer David Heyman told Deadline how the movie became successful.
“One of the reasons the film has done so well is because it’s original. There’s a real hunger for originality. Greta Gerwig is a singular artist, she pushes the boundaries of what’s possible in the most collaborative way. The film is fun, thematically rich and very moving. It was challenging, of course, but when we made it, there was a spirit of fun that permeated the production”.
Costume designer Ivana Primorac revealed that “Barbie Margot had more than 30 costume and hair changes” throughout the movie which just shows the dedication of the team behind Barbie. With high ratings and box office domination, Barbie is available to rent on Apple TV+ in the U.S.
