Margot Robbie: From small-town girl to bombshell

Robbie is a rare combination of beauty, sex appeal and acting skills in recent years

Let's face it, Robbie is one of the most beautiful, sexy and acting actors of recent years. After proving her strength during awards season, she became the face of Chanel.

Despite being on a roll today, Robbie grew up in the suburbs of Queensland, Australia, a veritable "small town girl".

Although his family is not rich, Robbie has been striving to become an actor since he was a child. At first, he was only famous in Australia. Later, he decided to pursue acting as his lifelong career and came to Hollywood for his dream.

Her first role in the TV series Pan Am, opposite Christina Ricci, was not well received and her role as a sweet stewardess was not easy to achieve.

However, it has to be said that Robbie's luck is very good. It wasn't long before word spread that director Martin Scorsese was casting for The Wolf of Wall Street.

Robbie is said to have struck the crowd with her strength when she improvised a slap in the face during a Shouting match. (Love Leo for a second)

Robbie was lucky enough to land the role of the "wife of the rich" and then became famous, using her legs to seduce Leo in a scene that became a classic in the film.

Hailing from the blue skies of Australia alongside Nicole Kidman and Naomi Watts, blonde Robbie has become synonymous with sex appeal. But if you want to go far in your acting career, you must allow yourself to try more different roles.

2016's Suicide Squad got a lot of criticism for the messy logic of the entire movie, but after seeing Me, Queen of Tricks and The Wolf of Wall Street, it became clear just how malleable Robbie is as Clownwoman.

What she wants to be is not a vase, but a real actress.

Robbie showed the quality of a professional actress in I, Queen of Tricks. Because of the amount of skating, she locked herself in the training ground for five months and devoted herself to the production.

Tanya, of course, repaid her efforts with an Oscar nomination for best actress.

Although she has become a popular Hollywood darling, Robbie's personality is not "acting" at all. In 2016, she married her British husband in a low-key way, and she is still happy in the lure of Hollywood.

In just two days, Margot Robbie will be turning 30 years old. So far, her acting career has been 12 years.

The star of hits like "The Wolf of Wall Street" and "Suicide Squad" went from starting out as a part-time couch-surfing actress in Australia to working alongside superstars like Leonardo dicaprio, Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman and Brad Pitt, and now runs her own production company, It's worth about $30 million.

It's all down to her determination to succeed and her professionalism honed from the soap opera Neighbours. For Margot Robbie, Neighbours was a great training ground for her career in Hollywood.

Last year, Margot was named one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people in the world, following her 2020 Oscar nomination for "Bombshell."

Earlier this year, Birds of Prey was released, in which Margot played the anti-hero Harley Quinn.

Next year, she will reprise the role in the Suicide Squad sequel, voice Flopsy in Peter Rabbit 2, film a big-screen version of Barbie and star in the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie.

In addition to her on-stage work, behind the scenes she promises to produce Promising Young Women as producer, starring Carey Mulligan.

Despite her workload, Margot Robbie has always maintained a laid-back attitude to life.

Margot Robbie was a veritable small town girl living on a fruit farm on Queensland's Gold Coast.

She left home at the age of 17 to work in the acting industry and began to gain fame in her native Australia with the show Neighbours. But not content with her status quo, she decided to make it in Hollywood. To that end, she spent a lot of money on acting classes and dialect training, hoping to learn an American accent.

In 2012, Margot Robbie starred in the TV series Pan American, but it was not well received. But a year later, she landed a role in Martin Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street, raising her profile in Hollywood.

At an audition, she won the role by slapping Leonardo dicaprio in the face without a script. (Tears for Leo)

After filming The Wolf of Wall Street, Margot moved into a house in Clapham, south London, with friends, seven of whom crammed into four bedrooms. Margot often travels the world for film shoots, premieres and awards, but loves returning to Clapham, where she had "the best time".

It was also here that she hooked up with film producer Tom Ackerley, now her husband. They married in Byron Bay, Australia, in 2016 and announced the news via Instagram.

The newlyweds moved first to west London and then to Los Angeles in 2017. They live in a $2.5 million house in Hancock Park.

Together with her former Clapham roommates Sophia Cole and Josie McNamara, the couple set up their own production company, LuckyChap Entertainment. The company produced the critically acclaimed I, Queen of Tricks, starring Margot

But Margot remains focused on her acting career, saying: "I never complain. I love it. I just want to be on set."

Margot and husband Tom even spent their honeymoon at the workplace and reportedly continued filming after they got married. They say they want to pursue their dreams rather than waste time at the beach.

It can be said that Margot Robbie has had a successful career and a happy family at the age of 30, but she has not stopped her efforts. I hope she can usher in the "Best actress" as soon as possible!
