Margot Robbie Becomes Highest-Paid Actress in Hollywood Following Role in Barbie

Margot Robbie has reached new heights in her career, becoming the highest-paid actress in Hollywood.

Known for her roles in films such as Suicide Squad, Birds of Prey, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Robbie has now secured the coveted role of Barbie.

However, it was her breakout performance in The Wolf of Wall Street alongside Leonardo DiCaprio that set her on this path to success.

Before achieving fame, Robbie began her acting journey in Australia, starring in low-budget independent films and TV series.

She made appearances in shows like City Homicide and The Elephant Princess, where she even worked alongside Liam Hemsworth.

Eventually, Robbie landed a regular role in the popular soap opera Neighbours, joining the ranks of other Australian stars who got their start on the show.

After leaving Neighbours, Robbie made the move to America in pursuit of her Hollywood dreams.

She secured a role in the series Pan Am before finally landing her breakthrough role in The Wolf of Wall Street.

It was during the audition process for this film that Robbie showcased her improvisation skills by giving DiCaprio an unexpected slap.

This bold move caught the attention of director Martin Scorsese and ultimately secured her the role.

In an interview with Harper's Bazaar, Robbie recounted the audacious moment, explaining that she felt the need to make a lasting impression in the limited time she had.

She described the intense scene where she screamed at DiCaprio, who responded in character.

In a split-second decision, Robbie chose to go off-script and deliver a powerful slap, shocking everyone in the room.

Her risk paid off, impressing Scorsese and earning her the role.

Working alongside DiCaprio on set was a dream come true for Robbie, but it also led to some unexpected mishaps.

During the filming of a scene where her character throws water at DiCaprio's face, Robbie accidentally got water in his eyes, temporarily blinding him.

DiCaprio kept it to himself until the fourth take, when he finally informed Robbie of his impaired vision.

Despite the mishap, they were able to complete the scene successfully.

Robbie expressed remorse for the incident, feeling guilty about unintentionally causing discomfort to her co-star.

However, the incident did not dampen their working relationship or the success of The Wolf of Wall Street.

The film achieved critical acclaim and solidified Robbie's status as a rising star in Hollywood.

With her recent role as Barbie, Robbie's career continues to soar.

Her dedication and willingness to take risks have propelled her to become one of the highest-paid actresses in the industry.

From her humble beginnings in Australia to becoming a global sensation, Margot Robbie has proven herself to be a force to be reckoned with in Hollywood.
