The Very Best Of Margot Robbie On The Graham Norton Show

Kind of hustler and is that that seems like that's kind of you were one of those actors You didn't wait for the phone to ring. Yeah, you were out there. You wanted a gig you went for it. Is that right banging downdoors? Yes I called the I called Fremantle media like every day until they someone made a mistake and put me through to the casting agent for neighbors That's how I got my audition I just kept calling them and then one time someone foolishly let me through and I spoke to Jan Russ and said I'm in town working on something which it was a half-truth and she was like, how old are you? And I was like, I'm 17 and she was like we need a 17 year old girl right now come in for an audition next week Cold call write letters, whatever you got to do. I still do it I still write to people that I want to work with and imagine me doing that. I'm a dish I wasn't a dish pig at that time anymore. I was working at Subway at that time So it felt so vindicated quitting. I was like I got a job on neighbors Because this is your baby, so did you kind of you set the tone and you'd like being Harley Quinn Yeah, I love being Harley. It's so fun. So, um, yeah, I pitched it when we were doing Suicide Squad the first time around so four and a half years ago and It's taken a minute to get here, but now we're about to show it to the world, which is really exciting I feel like in film terms that is kind of a minute It is I don't know some movies are in development for 10 years. It takes I mean the filming part That's a couple months. Yeah, but you know development that can that can be years So, I mean, I wish it was quicker something like I Tonya that that was a really quick turnaround from from the minute We started like got the script We were shooting within a year and that that's insanely fast and then we're out, you know Eight months later and that was your production company as well, wasn't it? Yeah, that was the second film We we produced and this seems to be what actors are doing now that Daniel besides you you've started a production company, right? Yeah, yeah called 59% Nice. I should I know what that means? Basically My favorite book and thing in the world is well, one of them is Moneyball. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, and that's his win rate 59% Oh, yeah season so and then I started googling all my favorite managers I'm obsessed about football and then like the managers over a 40-year career. Their win rate is always around 59% Okay We came we got drunk and came up with our name and no one remembers exactly why we called it lucky chap entertainment and I get asked all the time and I don't have a good answer Jody you need to get on this production thing. Yeah. Yeah I Don't know if you were a terrible child, but do you know the story I'm talking about where like you do not win any awards For being a good daughter that there are many stories where I don't know what I was not a great daughter I would I am forever in my mom's debt because I was Such a brat. I feel really bad about it. Tell us the story about when you were on your computer and she wanted your help Oh, yes, she yes. Okay, so I I was on MSN obviously the most important We lived out like, you know out in the sticks and often snakes would get into the house and You know, it wasn't a big deal But you just have to like chase them around and get it out and it's kind of time-consuming and annoying and so my mom yelled Out and she was like, can you come help me? There's this snakes really big like I can't get it on my own Can you come help me? And I was like, I'm so busy mom No, I can't like just being a brat. I was on MSN and she was like, oh, I just like hey are you sure please and I was like be gone and And then she was she was gone for like 10 minutes and I was like, oh She's been gone for ages. And then I like got up from the computer. I could hear like this And I was like, oh god, what's happening? And I see mom. She's like made it halfway down the stairs and the snake she'd tried to like pick this big python up with a With a broom and a stick but it had wound its way up around her arm and was going around her neck But I would never be able to no, I know I'm painting a bad picture it's really not bad but Poisonous state that they do You just got to give it something else to climb on so you got a stick or something it starts weaving its way around That and then you can transfer its weight and good to know You grab it behind its head you grab it behind it Was your mother, okay, yeah, she was fine I felt bad and I tried not to be such a brat when mom asked for help in future I kind of did it a lesson a lesson learned. Very good Hello to Alan hello. Hello and Beverly and of course a two Aussie stars I mean, I know it seems ridiculous, but did you know each other back in Australia? No Well, I'm in Australia is dark right now because I mean it's a very small country and we're both here Have you ever worked together? No, no, I wish. Oh, yes. I wish I Know genuinely I first saw Kate long before we met we've met since at events and things like that But you did a speech at the Acme Center in Melbourne when I was working on a TV show neighbors My my idol my acting idol So I saw you do this speech and I went and I was like you were probably like 15 meters away But I remember thinking I was just in awe and I was like, this is probably the closest I'll ever get I was reading what you and it seems like the business part of your brain was developed quite young Like you were a little girl and you were quite business savvy. Yes quite savvy as a kid I would like steal my brother's toys and sell them on the side of the road for like Magic tricks and then make my family pay to come see my magic show and then pay extra if they wanted to know how I did the trick You would pay extra to find out how they do the yellow once you get them in I mean, they're already there They already paid their dollar. Sure. Yeah Cuz now cuz Ryan you were also a young entrepreneur, weren't you? I Wouldn't say that Didn't your father get what did he he wanted you to sell was it cellophane you want you to sell? My parents came upon a truck of cellophane somehow I was asked not to ask too many questions. I didn't I just suddenly there was a basement filled with cellophane and they encouraged me to go to school and see if I could sell it to my teachers or Put a few in my backpack and try and hock them at recess Convince kids that they might be good stocking stuffers for their parents What are the uses of cellophane? How did it go What do you mean what's the use of cellophane I'd know the name but I don't know what you do with it You know, you wrap sandwiches in it. It keeps things fresh. Oh Okay I'm sorry. No, no. No, it was an important question. You need to ask it. Yeah I'm not doing a good job of selling it obviously, but did you sell it? There's still some left if you're interested Be nice to someone the dream was someone would just say I'll take all of it never happened. It's a weird story It is a bit weird Comic book heroes and action films. We kind of assume they appeal to kind of nerdy boys Yeah, and you kind of forget there are lots of nerdy women out there. Oh, yeah like these films Yeah, yeah, everyone's got their inner nerd. Yeah. Well, you are a proper nerd, aren't you? I mean when it comes to Harry Potter, I'm a massive massive nerd We know that because you posted this but is this your 12th or you're 12 or 13 here. This is Margot Robbie Look how on cool Harry Potter Do you know what's particularly pathetic about this picture a couple things really I'll let you point them out. Number one. It's my birthday. That's how I chose to spend my birthday What was in the car number two, I'm drinking tea Number three, I'm wearing glasses, even though I don't need glasses. I lied to the optometrist because I wanted to have glasses like No, Daniel, I think you were where you were Harry Potter fan I love Harry Potter just to get round to read in the last one. Okay, so I just Do it later and then are you kidding me? So you've read one to six and you haven't read the seventh? Yeah, I don't know. Are you actually kidding? Bear for twin I'm not gonna be able to sleep tonight. What worrying about life is a game you mean It's just you keep it on the edge, I mean this is insane to me another fun fact my husband So, sorry, I brought this up Margo tell us Cuz I'm not here My husband is in the Harry Potter movies I know I was like had you told me sooner we would have been married very quickly, but he was an extra He was like when he was a little kid He's like one of the Slovene act extras You know when Draco like pushes some kids out of the way to to see Buckbeak in the third book Yeah, he pushes my husband Daniel were you ever an extra in Harry Potter? No, no someone had it. My friend was an extra at school. Then I asked him like how'd you get into acting and he didn't Tell me No, you posted a picture of yourself as I don't know how old you are Little boy here and you look like you could be in Hogwarts Yeah, I know people you went to school with must be so surprised It's directed by Damien Chazelle from La La Land But I mean he really goes for these enormous set pieces. It opens with this mad Hollywood party Yeah, like in real life. How long were you at that party for? Oh, that's you crowd surfing. That is So fun, so we get why it's called Babylon now This is like the g-rated version of that. I mean the party is insane. Yeah, Damien I mean he's such a visionary kind of director But there's an amazing extraordinary one in that party scene where you kind of meet all the different characters And it's a huge ensemble cast. You've got Brad Pitt and Diego and you know, Jean Smart And you've got a chicken stealing someone's cocaine and running off, you know So this is all being timed with like this crane movement and we're not shooting in studio we're shooting like on location so it's even more Difficult, but so much is happening And and you kind of get a glimpse of everything It's the kind of movie where you have to see it on a big screen because there's so much happening in the frame Yeah at every single moment you could look anywhere and you're seeing a whole, you know, this whole tapestry of madness But doing those one is and knowing that you don't want to be the person that makes you go again Yeah, it's also how did you cope and keeping that thing on your breasts? Oh, yeah I'm watching that going. Is that gonna say on this was I mean, that's a bad way There was a lot of yeah slips But that I am like even in that scarf thing that we're calling a dress. I am still probably the most clothed person Honestly, I We were also desensitized to nudity very quickly that it in that scene There's literally like orgies happening behind us while people are talking I mean, there's so so by jumping on the penis was kind of Sadly that isn't the clip we have We mentioned wolf Wall Street earlier is the story true about your parents Marco. Yeah So so when did you tell them the lie? Well, it was shortly before the premiere of the film I decided to come clean and tell them that I Yeah, it was Well, then I well first I started off with there is no I didn't mention the nudity and then I heard there was nudity So then I said that they CGI'd my head on to someone else's body It's like Jurassic Park And and then eventually I told them it was me I'm with you. Okay with it. Yeah, they took it really well You kind of want to know that before you're in the theater, yeah I don't know why I'd be surprised because you're a Margot Robbie living in London So, of course you did but you did mix in some highfalutin circles. Yes. Oh, yes No, this picture. I don't know where this picture came from. Oh, okay. Well, that's obviously you is that is that Sienna Miller? Yeah, I think so. And that's a princess. Is it a Beatrice one or a Eugenie one? I Can't tell by the picture everyone kind of looks weird. You're picking everyone better than I can I think but it's one of them Tell us who this is, you know, I know It's Prince Harry. I don't know That was a one-off, okay, that doesn't normally happen my my friends aren't royal There of course is Cara Delevingne, I'm you guys a good friend of mine, yeah, and you were a suicide squad together. Yeah Yeah, she's awesome. I know in the suicide squad you tattooed your cast members. Is this right? Yes, because you're kind of you're trained But now so these are the tattoos. Yeah, we call them toe emojis. Okay, and you do them all the cast No, weirdly enough. No one else wanted them Just the two of us got the toe emojis but everyone else got squad written on them and other people just would come by the trailer and get anything and Yeah, so did all sorts of things and you can still touch two people. Yeah, I reckon I've done. Yeah Probably like getting close to a hundred now little ones little ones and honestly I'm probably getting worse as I go along because we have a tattoo gun here If any of you guys wait want a tattoo do you to commemorate this lovely? You pierced your ear. Oh, yeah, not myself Everything you get might but I I'm seeing you actually are prepared. Oh, yeah Yeah, no, no, she can tattoo. This isn't actually my gun, but I could I can make do with it for sure Are you genuinely thinking about this? No That's acting Was that the sort of music you listened to growing up were you a kind of classical music kid I Was more I was kind of a goth I listened to birthday party and dead can dance and I was a bit eclectic, you know, banana Rama But you know Duran Duran, you know the Seekers Bob Dylan, but you know, there wasn't much Mahler in my childhood Yeah, but in in my teenage years when I got all Emotional and melodramatic I did turn much more to classical music because Margaret were you a goth? I yes I definitely had my Goth very emo though Okay, and I listened to like only heavy metal music and I would dye my hair black and only cut it with a razor blade Anyone like heavy metal music was that was that something you genuinely like Genuinely, and I still genuinely like it. Yeah, you'd like monster trucks and things like that. No Just no, I really like it like I remember yeah, I'd go to con I Remember going to the Slipknot concert and the most I've ever been at the time. I was on neighbors I have never had more people come up to me ever than out of Slipknot concert. They You get the crossover between it wasn't monster trucks and Slipknot it was Quite the Venn diagram And they're worried about all the characters and there's so and so's baby They're not real yeah, no, I know they were so invested in neighbors and Slipknot so I I don't know Yeah, no, I genuinely like that. So it's family listening. It's yeah
