After an unpleasant experience with Martin Scorsese’s film, Margot Robbie reveals she almost quit acting because of “The Wolf of Wall Street.”

Margot Robbie revealed in an interview with Vanity Fair that she almost gave up acting after an unpleasant experience in “The Wolf of Wall Street.” The actress rose to fame after the film directed by Martin Scorsese.

However, the astronomical success was not easy for her to handle. After the success of her role in the film, which was nominated for Best Picture at the 2014 Oscars, Robbie struggled to deal with the media.

“I remember telling my mom, ‘I think I don’t want to do this anymore.’ And she just looked at me seriously and said, ‘Darling, I think it’s too late not to.’ That’s when I realized the only way was to move forward,” she said.

She described that period as “horrible,” but now she knows “how to get through airports and who is trying to harm me in what ways.”

The actress also spoke about the idea of a project focused on female characters. “Something different, which we thought would be really cool. But apparently, they didn’t want to do it,” she lamented.


Margot Robbie became famous for “The Wolf of Wall Street” (2013) and later starred in major hits such as “Barbie” (2023), “I, Tonya” (2017), and “Suicide Squad” (2021).
