Margot Robbie Said that Becoming Famous after “Wolf of Wall Street” Was One of Her Lowest Moments.

Robbie described the time as one of her lowest moments, saying that something was going on in those early stages.

She said, “And [my mother] just looked at my face, straight-faced, and was like: ‘Darling. It’s too late not to do it.’ Then I realized that there was only one way forward.

Robbie stated that although she is now able to manage being a celebrity, she still has trouble with media attention, particularly tabloid stories and being photographed.

Robbie isn’t the only celebrity to find the leap to fame difficult.

“You want [false stories] to be corrected, but you can’t. The actor said, “You have to, I don’t know, look at the other side.” “If my mom is killed in a car accident, you want a photo of my going into the grocery store or you knock my nephew off his bike for what?” Do you want a photo? It’s scary, but strangely it doesn’t feel like anything is changing.”

Robbie said she also finds press days stressful for her films. She explained: “They only need sound bites and they don’t resent me for it, I get that — they have three minutes but it feels like tap dancing through the minefield because you are so tired and you’ve done this for hours and hours and to keep your guard up It doesn’t matter how many times you repeat it, if you make a mistake once, it will be a disaster.

In September, “House of the Dragon” star Milly Alcock told Nylon magazine that she found her sudden popularity following the show’s premiere “straining.”

The actor stated, “I’m trying not to look at it and trying to not engage with it because they don’t benefit me.” It makes me extremely anxious. It is very straining to see my face every day. That should not be the norm. It’s fuckin’ disgusting, man. It’s amazing to me how socialites around the world are able to do this. It drives me crazy. It’s a very difficult area to navigate.”
