Margot Robbie had to learn to say “no” before she felt adult.
The 29-year-old actress was only 17 when she left the family home after landing a role in the Australian soap opera ‘The Neighbors’ but the star of ‘Birds of Prey’ – who is now married to Tom Ackerley – long felt like a “child trying to do adult things”, and it is only very recently that she feels that she has matured because she now feels able to take control of her life .
The actress said in the January digital issue of GLAMOR UK magazine: “I didn’t suddenly feel like an adult at 17 because I left home and I was living alone.
“It [son départ de chez ses parents] didn’t make me feel like an adult, it made me feel like a child trying to do things as an adult. I begin [aujours’hui] only to feel like an adult, learning to say no.
“I struggled to do this during most of my childhood; say “no” and have the balls to say “no”.
“I’ve always been a blessed yes-yes, so I feel much more mature and in control of my life when I can say” no “; I know what I want and if I know it’s not that well, I’m not going to do it! ”».
Margot also admitted that it was “scary” to move to Melbourne [aussi jeune] to shoot ‘Les Voisins’, but said that this first experience had boosted her self-confidence.
She said: “I didn’t know anyone in Melbourne and it was scary. I certainly had times when I thought” I can do it, I’m an independent woman “and then ‘M ** from, c ‘is so hard and scary, maybe I won’t make it.’
“I had a lot of moments like this when I started playing in the series” Neighbors “and was just trying to understand life.”
After leaving the soap opera, the star of the movie “The Wolf of Wall Street (The Wolf of Wall Street)” moved to the United States and appreciated being able, once again, to take a ” fresh start “in a country where she didn’t know anyone.
The Australian-born actress added, “Then the next big start was three years later when I moved to the United States and felt like I had a fresh, clean slate because no one in the United States knew who I was.
“Perhaps some people had heard of the soap opera ‘Les Voisins’, but they had never seen it, so I had regained my anonymity for a while, which gave me a liberating feeling which allowed me to realize that it was indeed a new beginning.
“I had the opportunity to rebuild the image of the actress I wanted to be and to redesign my career.”
