Margot Robbie tosses herself into character preparation “like a psychopath”.
The Australian starlet informed Cillian Murphy throughout a discussion for Variety’s Actors on Actors series that she attempts to do as much preparation as possible before she shoots a movie.
There was one circumstances when she took her preparation too far throughout the Covid-19 lockdown.
“I prep like a psychopath. I’ll prep as long as I perhaps can,” she started. “I remember I began prepping one function and after that Covid occurred therefore I wound up prepping the one function for like a year. I resembled losing my mind by the end of it.
“My spouse (Tom Ackerley) strolled in and I resembled making odd masks and things and I resembled covered in paint and he’s like, ‘What are you doing?’ And I resembled, ‘I believe I’ve gone too far with this character. We require this to end. I require to get on set.'”
The Wolf of Wall Street star shot both Amsterdam and Babylon in 2021 after the pandemic. The latter film, directed by Damien Chazelle, was initially due to shoot in mid-2020.
Robbie, 33, discussed that she does so much preparation and covers her scripts in “a bazillion notes and ideas” so she can be complimentary once she gets to set.
“Because then I can stroll on set and simply resemble absolutely complimentary. If I had not prepped, I ‘d be so horrified,” she specified. “(If I didn’t have an annotated script) then I ‘d be having all those ideas on set instead of (being complimentary).”
Robbie and Murphy were matched together for the discussion in honour of the Barbenheimer fad developed by their films Barbie and Oppenheimer this summer season.
