Margot Robbie Gets Real About Breaking Into Hollywood: ‘You Just Have To Want It More Than Anyone Else’

As a seasoned movie critic who has witnessed the rise and fall of many promising stars, I can confidently say that Margot Robbie is one actress who has truly grasped the elusive nature of Hollywood stardom. Her journey from the sun-kissed shores of Australia to the glitzy streets of Tinseltown is a testament to her unwavering determination and grit.

The journey of Hollywood is marked by numerous individuals who aspired for fame yet fell short. Margot Robbie, currently basking in the success of a $50 million deal for Barbie, might have been an exception to this rule, but her path to A-list stardom (and becoming a style pioneer) wasn’t always straightforward. In fact, she candidly shared her challenging early years following her relocation from Australia to California, suggesting that fame didn’t come easily for her.

Robbie moved to the United States in 2011. She was starring in the soap opera Neighbours at the time, so she wasn’t exactly busking when she moved, but she did prepare for the transition by learning an American accent and more. She was asked about this transition during press for her movie Babylon and she got candid about the attitude that helped lead her to success.

Regardless of my financial status, I’m determined to achieve my goals. I’m set on finding a way, no matter what. I’m focused on getting started, securing an opportunity, even if it means just one. If I can get that initial break, I know I can make it work. I don’t pay heed to others’ opinions because in truth, you need to be more persistent than everyone else when trying to succeed in Hollywood. There are so many people vying for the same chances, but if you want it enough, you can outlast them all.

Many well-known figures held unusual jobs before they achieved fame, and a significant number of people living in Hollywood fail to progress beyond that stage. Not everyone possesses the determination needed to sustain a career in the industry for the long term. Some move on to behind-the-scenes roles in Hollywood or switch to entirely different professions. Others choose to settle down and take on the vital role of raising a family outside Los Angeles.

But a rare few are lucky enough to get to do both, and the actress marks herself among that faction. Margot Robbie’s a new mom, but she already had a project in the can before spending some time with the newborn baby she had with partner Tom Ackerly. Next up she’ll star in the Big, Bold, Beautiful Journey movie. She is also continuing with producing duties, most recently with Ryan Gosling on My Old Ass along with upcoming movies in 2025 and beyond like the latest adaptation of Wuthering Heights and Monopoly.

Earlier, Martin Scorsese played a significant role in launching Margot Robbie’s career through “The Wolf of Wall Street.” This evidently fills him with pride as he witnesses the growth of her career. However, Robbie herself is equally enthusiastic about the journey that led her here. I eagerly anticipate seeing where she takes her talents next.
