Feet and Quentin Tarantino movies go together like bread and butter. A frequent occurrence in the esteemed director’s movies, it doesn’t feel like a Tarantino movie at all if there are no foot shots. This phenomenon has become as famous as his exemplary storytelling, leading to fans often brutally trolling the Academy Award-winning filmmaker and screenwriter.
However, fans cannot really troll the director for the countless-foot shots of Margot Robbie in his critically acclaimed Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, since it is based on a true story. Set up against a historical incident involving the infamous Tate murder by the Manson family, it is also an ode to the late actress Sharon Tate (via Screen Rant).
Although the movie does not exactly remain true to the real-life event (via Time), the research done on the late actress who was brutally murdered while 8 and a half months pregnant, proves that numerous foot shots of Robbie were vital to the story and narrative. Appearing barefoot multiple times in the movie, Tate in real life also loved to be barefoot all the time and detested wearing footwear (via The Digital Fix).
Even Margot Robbie Agrees With Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood‘s Numerous Feet Shots
Margot Robbie’s feet have become an internet sensation now, more so after she starred in the 2023 blockbuster Barbie. But the first time netizens noticed her feet was when she starred as Sharon Tate in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood. Appearing barefoot in several scenes with several shots featuring her feet, the actress was even told by the director to not clean them (via NYPost).
However, while the internet called out the director for his foot fetish for the hundredth time, Robbie was more than okay with it. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, she revealed why,
“Sharon apparently hated wearing shoes and she would sometimes put rubber bands around her ankles to make it look like she was wearing sandals so she could get into restaurants. I feel the same! I’m a Gold Coast girl. You can get away going to most places barefoot.”
As the fans go on about the director’s extreme foot obsession, Robbie is flattered by the attention her feet have been receiving (via CinemaBlend). As for her love for being barefoot, Australians are famous for their barefoot culture.
Meanwhile, Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood can be streamed on Hulu.
