Margot Robbie admitted that she immersed herself with great intensity in preparing her characters.
The Australian actress told Cillian Murphy in a conversation for Variety’s Actors on Actors series that she tries to prepare as much as possible before shooting a film.
However, during the Covid-19 lockdown, she once took her preparation a little too far.
“I also prepare like a psychopath. I prepare as long as possible, she began. I remember I started preparing for a role and then Covid happened and so I ended up preparing for this one role for regarding a year. I felt like I was losing my mind at the end.”
“My husband (Tom Ackerley) came in and I was making weird masks and weird stuff and I was covered in paint and he asked me, ‘What are you doing?’ ”I think I went too far with this character,’ I replied. This has to end. I have to go to the set.”
The Wolf of Wall Street star filmed Amsterdam and Babylon in 2021 post-pandemic. This latest film, directed by Damien Chazelle, was initially scheduled to be shot in mid-2020.
The 33-year-old actress explained that she also covers her scripts with “a billion notes and thoughts” in order to have a clear mind once on set.
“Because then I can arrive on set and be completely free. But if I hadn’t prepared, I would have been so terrified, she explained. (If I didn’t have an annotated script), I would have all these thoughts on set instead of being free.”
Margot Robbie and Cillian Murphy interviewed each other following the “Barbenheimer” craze sparked by their films Barbie and Oppenheimer this summer.
