Margot Robbie, the global sensation known for her roles in blockbuster hits like "The Wolf of Wall Street" and "Barbie," recently opened up about an unsettling incident early in her career. During an interview with Complex, the 35-year-old actress revealed that a male co-star gifted her a book titled "Why French Women Don't Get Fat," a 2007 lifestyle guide by Mireille Guiliano.
Margot recalled her reaction to the unwanted advice hidden within the gift's pages. "Very, very early in my career, an actor I worked with, a male actor, gave me a book called 'Why French Women Don't Get Fat,' and it was essentially a book telling you to eat less," she shared with a mix of disbelief and humor. Robbie added, "I was like, 'Whoa, f*** you, dude!'" The actor, whose identity remains a mystery, gave Margot the book "really back in the day," leaving her both shocked and puzzled.
“He essentially gave me a book to let me know that I should lose weight. I was like, 'Wow.'”
Discussing the curious encounter with pop star Charli XCX during a video chat, Margot reflected on the lack of awareness and sensitivity from the unnamed actor. Charli, known for her candid personality and musical talents, humorously reacted to the story with, "Your career's over, babe," facing the camera with a smirk.
Interestingly, both stars are now collaborating on Emerald Fennell's adaptation of "Wuthering Heights," with Robbie starring and Charli providing original music. This project marks another milestone in both their careers, showcasing their diverse talents and resilience in the entertainment industry.
In a shared moment of gift-giving gone wrong, Charli XCX recounted her own bizarre present from a fan: a small jar containing the ashes of the fan's mother, presented as a necklace. "I just didn't quite know what to do with it," Charli admitted, highlighting the unexpected ways fans sometimes express their admiration.
Margot Robbie and Charli XCX continue to thrive in their respective fields, with Margot's career beginning with roles in "Neighbours" and "City Homicide," while Charli remains a powerhouse in the music scene. Their upcoming collaboration promises to blend cinematic storytelling with musical innovation, a testament to their artistic prowess.
