“I’m not going to lie, I had a couple of shots of tequila before that scene, because I was nervous,” Robbie declared according to information gathered by The Mirror , later adding that she doubted the relevance of her participation in the filming of the film and insisting that she was “very nervous.”
In this sense, he elaborated that “honestly, I know it sounds silly now knowing how big the movie became, but at that moment I thought: ‘no one will notice me (..) no matter what I do, because everyone will focus in Leo.”
A difficult period
“Something was happening in those early stages and it was all pretty horrible. I remember telling my mom, ‘I don’t think I want to do this.’ And she looked at me completely serious and said, ‘Honey, I think it’s too late not to do it,’” Robbie explained as he recalled that time in an interview with Vanity Fair.
Then he continues: “That’s when I realized the only way was to keep going.”
And although the actress did not delve into the details that interfered with her during that period, her mother’s support did help her confirm her importance in the world of cinema, which has led her to act in films such as Suicide Squad (2016 ), Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019) and Barbie (2023), which is still in the filming stage to be released next year.
