Margot Robbie, a 32-year-old Hollywood sensation and one of the highest-paid actresses, recently opened up about the tumultuous period in her career that nearly led her to quit acting.
In an interview with 'Vanity Fair' magazine, she delves into the personal crisis triggered by her role in 'The Wolf of Wall Street,' a film that catapulted her to international fame in 2013.
Despite her current success, Robbie's journey took an unexpected turn after her breakthrough performance alongside Leonardo DiCaprio. Reflecting on the aftermath, she shared, "Something was happening in those early stages, and it was all pretty horrible."
Recounting a pivotal conversation with her mother, she admitted contemplating leaving the profession. Her mother's response, "Honey, I think it's too late not to do it," served as a wake-up call, pushing Robbie to forge ahead.
The interview sheds light on the dark side of fame, with Robbie discussing the challenges of navigating daily life under constant media scrutiny. She reveals the toll it takes on her personal life, expressing frustration at the intrusive nature of the paparazzi.
"I know how to go through airports, and now I know who is trying to screw me in what way," she remarks. Robbie candidly addresses the dangers posed by relentless pursuit, citing examples of potential harm to loved ones for the sake of a photograph.
In attempting to convey the realities of her profession, Robbie describes the extreme highs and lows, emphasizing the precarious nature of fame. "The way I try to explain this job, and this world, to people is that the highs are really high, and the lows are really, really low. And I guess if you're lucky, everything balances out in the middle," she concludes, providing an honest glimpse into the complexities of life in the spotlight.
