Her role as the outrageously đť‘ eđť‘Ąy Naomi Lapaglia in 2013’s The Wolf Of Wall Street cemented her status as a đť‘ eđť‘Ą symbol.
And Margot Robbie has sensationally claimed that she didn’t think she was ‘hot enough’ for the role and would leave people feeling disappointed with her casting in the critically acclaimed flick alongside Hollywood heavyweight, Leonardo DiCaprio.
Posing for a raunchy shoot for Wonderland magazine, the Australian actress, 27, made the surprising claim about the ‘high-tempo đť‘ eđť‘Ąy’ role as she discussed taking on a completely different character for her upcoming venture, I, Tonya.

‘When I was playing Naomi in The Wolf of Wolf Street it was so high-tempo đť‘ eđť‘Ąy. I was acutely aware that the line in the screenplay was “the hottest blonde ever,” I’m clearly not the hottest blonde ever.
‘I was just terrified that people would see the movie and think “eugh! She’s not that great,”‘ she expressed.
However, in comparison, her upcoming role in I, Tonya, was much more low-key, as she explained the difference: ‘the worse I looked the happier people were.’
‘Ironically Tonya wasn’t unattractive, she’s just been marred with that story. Like Daphne, Tonya, right or wrong, is human,’ she continued about the flick which has already on her critical acclaim after it recently premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival.

The movie will explore the real-life rivalry between scandal-ridden Tonya and fellow American skater, Nancy Kerrigan.
Twice an Olympian and famed for her triple axel, Tonya found herself slapped with a lifetime ban from the U.S. Figure Skating Association in 1994.
Her bodyguard and her ex-husband had enlisted a thug to break her skating rival Nancy Kerrigan’s leg, and though he bungled the job, he still bruised Nancy severely enough to force her out of the U.S. Figure Skating Championship.
The next month, both Tonya and Nancy competed in the Winter Olympics in Lillehammer. The former earned eighth place, the latter a silver medal.
Though the three men – as well as the getaway car driver – served time for their involvement in the attack, Tonya pleaded guilty to conspiracy to hinder their prosecution, thereby managing to keep herself out of prison.

Meanwhile, Robbie candidly admitted in the interview that it was ‘frustrating’ at times to have so much emphasis placed on her looks.
‘All the reading, all the acting coaching, and then someone reviews the movie or interviews you and all they do is focus on the aesthetics.
‘You think, “f*** you. You’ve totally discredited the work I did and it’s not fair!’ she passionately declared.
And her talents as an actress were evident, as she discussed her forthcoming role in I, Tonya, where she also served as a producer.
‘I read the script and thought it was sheer genius. I also presumed it was fiction. When I discovered it was a true story, I knew it was big.

‘We thought long and hard about striking the right tone for this film, and when Craig Gillespie was brought in as the director it just felt so right. There was no one better for the job.
‘Sarah Kawahara, who actually choreographed for Nancy Kerrigan, was training me. Before that point I thought I wasn’t too bad at ice skating – I used to play ice hockey.
‘I soon realised that I’d just been running on ice, and now there was no padding. My alarm would go off at 5.30am and I’d want to cry. Sometimes after sessions I’d get back into the car and weep.’
Margot went through four months of training and suffered a bulging neck disk in preparation for the role.
The movie is directed by Craig Gillespie and stars Sebastian Stan as Tonya’s ex-husband Jeff Gillooly, while Allison Janney plays Tonya’s mother LaVona Fay Golden.

‘In reality I was living in an absolute crack den of an apartment’: Margot has clearly cemented her A-list status and proves she has come a long way from Australia’s long-running Neighbours – a role people presumed gave her great wealth
While she now splits her time between American and England, Margot revealed: ‘There’s always a time in the day when I can either be calling my husband back in America, my family in Australia or my friends here in London’
Margot has clearly cemented her A-list status and proves she has come a long way from Australia’s long-running Neighbours – a role people presumed gave her great wealth.
‘At 18, people would approach me and be all like, “you’re that chick from Neighbours, do you own six houses or something?” In reality I was living in an absolute crack den of an apartment with a fridge and a mattress on the floor,’ she truthfully admitted.
And while she now splits her time between American and England, Margot revealed: ‘There’s always a time in the day when I can either be calling my husband back in America, my family in Australia or my friends here in London. ‘
Margot married her longtime partner Tom Ackerley in a secret Byron Bay ceremony last December.
