Now, Margot Robbie is an icon.
The Australian actress made her breakthrough performance in The Wolf of Wall Street (2013).
Since then, her fame has skyrocketed.
And she has gone on to appear in hit movies, such as Suicide Squad (2016), I, Tonya (2017), Mary Queen of Scots (2018), and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019).
There’s no denying she’s made a name for herself in the entertainment industry.
You’ll be hard-pressed to find anyone who doesn’t know who she is.
And recently Robbie has taken on a new venture, appearing in and producing the new movie Barbie.
The new movie is written and directed by Greta Gerwig and follows Robbie’s character as she leaves Barbieland behind and takes on the real world.
It’s totally different from anything Robbie has done before.
And fans were so eager to find out more about her role, that photos from the set were leaked online.
Social media users had a lot to say about the images…
Which showed Robbie and Gosling’s characters dressed in neon spandex.
After seeing one of the leaked photos, one Twitter user wrote:
“The Barbie movie photo leaks feel like a fever dream. Did that actually happen? Is there actually a movie? Is Margot actually Robbie?”
And it seems to have gotten a little too much for Robbie.
The actress has recently revealed she was “mortified” to find out about the leaked photos.
Robbie opened up on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon…
Sharing her thoughts on the whole ordeal while also promoting her new movie Amsterdam.
“I can’t tell you how mortified we were, by the way,” Robbie said.
“We look like we’re like laughing and having fun, but dying on the inside. Dying. I was like, this is the most humiliating moment of my life.”
Jimmy Fallon then asked Robbie if she was aware of the huge media discussion around the photos…
“No!” Robbie said. “I mean, I knew that we had some exteriors to shoot in L.A. I knew, OK, once you were doing exteriors, you’re gonna get papped.”
She continued: “There’s probably going to be a little crowd of people who are going to stand out, because, you know, we stand out a little bit in those outfits.
“So I knew there was going to be a little bit of attention, and probably some photos would get out there, but not like it did. It was like mad. It was like hundreds of people watching.”
Along with those paparazzi photos that were leaked online…
Gosling’s character was also filmed screaming after Barbie punches a man who gropes her.

Since then, Robbie has no doubt become one of the biggest stars in Hollywood, but we bet you didn’t know something about one scene in her movie, Wolf of Wall Street.
The 3-hour movie was a chock-a-block with unforgettable wild scenes pen-selling, dwarf-throwing, and Robbie teasing all spring to mind.
While the Australian actress played a big part in the success of the movie, she was bold enough and insisted on going nude in her big breakthrough role.
The much-loved Martin Scorsese movie is based on the story of controversial stockbroker Jordan Belfort played by Leonardo DiCaprio, with Robbie playing Naomi Lapaglia, Belfort’s second wife in the film.
According to LADbible, her role featured numerous s*xual scenes, including a full-frontal nude scene. Robbie even admitted she was apprehensive about the scenes being immortalized on the internet.
Speaking to The Telegraph in 2014, aged just twenty-three, she said: “I think nudity for the sake of nudity is shameful. If they’ve put it in just so that a girl gets her top off, then that’s disgusting. And you can always tell.
“But I also think it’s disgusting when someone would have got n*ked in real life, in the film they conveniently leave their bra on, or hold up the bed sheet. Seeing someone being choreographed into being covered up irritates me just as much,” she said.
And she carried on and said she put out her suggestions to the director too.
“The whole point of Naomi is that her body is her only form of currency in this world. So when Marty [Scorsese] was trying to help me out, and said in the scene where she seduces Jordan perhaps I could have a robe on, I said she wouldn’t. She has to be n*ked. She’s laying her cards on the table,” Robbie continued.
Robbie even reflected on shooting a memorable seduction scene in the movie, she told Porter in a 2018 interview: “It doesn’t come across when you’re watching the movie, but in reality, we’re in a tiny bedroom with 30 crew crammed in.”
“All men. And for 17 hours I’m pretending to be touching myself. It’s just a very weird thing and you have to bury the embarrassment and absurdity, really deep, and fully commit,” she added.
However, it seems the success that followed the movie wasn’t exactly what Robbie wanted…
Robbie opened up in an interview with Vanity Fair.
“Something was happening in those early stages and it was all pretty awful,” she said.
“I remember saying to my mom, ‘I don’t think I want to do this.’
“And she just looked at me, completely straight-faced, and was like, ‘Darling, I think it’s too late not to,’” Robbie continued.
“That’s when I realized the only way was forward,” she added.
Robbie particularly had to learn how to cope with the paparazzi.
“I know how to go through airports, and now I know who’s trying to f–k me over in what ways.
“If my mom dies in a car accident because you wanted a photo of me going in the grocery shop, or you knock my nephew off a bike — for what? For a photo?
“It’s dangerous but still weirdly nothing feels like it changes,” Robbie said.
“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, it all balances out in the middle,” she concluded.
More recently, Robbie recalled one scene in Wolf of Wall Street where she had to take shots of tequila to get prepared.
And that scene was the s*x scene with Leonardo DiCaprio.
If you remember the scene, Robbie’s character Naomi seduces her husband in their daughter’s bedroom.
Though on-screen, Robbie looked completely calm and collected, she admitted that she felt “very, very nervous” inside.
“I’m not going to lie; I had a couple of shots of tequila before that scene because I was nervous — very, very nervous,” she said at a Bafta: A Life In Pictures event this week.
“Honestly, I know it sounds silly now, knowing how big the movie became, at the time I thought, ‘no one is going to notice me in this film.’
“‘It kind of doesn’t matter what I do in this film because everyone is going to be focused on Leo DiCaprio and everything,'” she said.
Robbie added: “And I was just kind of like, ‘I’ll slip under the radar.’”
And now a clip has resurfaced of Jordan Belfort’s epic party in 1991, showing just how accurate The Wolf of Wall Street biopic was.
The film version sees Jordan Belfort standing on the balcony, shouting and hyping up his huge crowd.
In the real footage, Belfort can be seen standing on the balcony of his beachfront mansion and getting his guests hyped up in a very similar way.
You can see the clip here.
