Margot Robbie Almost Quit Acting After Her Breakout Role
Following her debut in 2008,Margot Robbielanded the role of Naomi Lapagial inMartin Scorsese‘s 2013 filmTheWolf of Wall Street.Starring alongside the Oscar-winning actor,Leonardo DiCaprio, Robbie took some extreme measures to star in the movie and even went on to slap her co-star.
It was a critical and commercial success and is still the highest-grossing film of Martin Scorsese’s career. Based on a memoir of the same name, the movie follows the frauds of American entrepreneur and former stockbroker Jordon Belfort. Robbie’s character inTheWolf of Wall Streetwas based on Belfort’s ex-wife.
And she did exactly what was required of her character. Her performance as Naomi Lapagial made her stand out and is still considered one of the best roles of her career. However, the fame and attention the 2013 movie brought were too much to handle for theBarbiestar at the time.
During an interview with Vanity Fair, she opened up about feeling“pretty awful”and shared that she wanted to leave the industry.“I remember saying to my mum, ‘I don’t think I want to do this.’”she recalled. And she was able to get her thoughts straight after her mother made her realize that there was no way back from where she was at the time.
