7 of Margot Robbie's Best Movie Performances
The 33-year-old actress has made quite a name for herself in Hollywood.
Margot Robbie can do it all. And she has. From portraying a well-known comic character in Suicide Squad to portraying an eager woman navigating an abusive workplace in Bombshell, Robbie’s range is nothing short of wide.
Born in Australia, Robbie’s career began abroad. But after moving to the states, she rose to fame with her breakout role in the 2013 film The Wolf of Wall Street. Starring alongside Leonardo DiCaprio, the actress stunned viewers with a captivating performance. Since then, the actress has been nominated for two Oscars, including Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in Bombshell, and Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in I, Tonya, and a slew of other nominations. Recently, Robbie will soon star as Barbie on the big screen in the highly-anticipated Barbie film, set to release on July 21, 2023.
On Robbie’s 33rd birthday, L’OFFICIEL breaks down some of her most iconic roles on the big screen.
Robbie plays the sensual, second wife, Naomi Lapaglia, of Wall Street broker Jordan Belfort (played by DiCaprio) in this three-hour film. In her early 20s at the time of filming, Robbie delivered her scenes with the talent of an actress decades in the making.
Starring alongside Will Smith, Robbie acts as Jess Barrett, a con artist, in this flirty, dramatic film, once again proving her range as an actress.
This 2017 film follows Tonya Harding, as she becomes entangled in a massive ice skating scandal in the '90s. Robbie, gliding effortlessly on the ice, delivers a poignant performance worthy of an Oscar nomination.
In this Quentin Tarantino film, Robbie plays Sharon Tate—the actress who was famously murdered by the followers of Charles Manson in the late '60s. Robbie, wearing bright yellow outfits and go-go boots, acts alongside Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio in this film.
Based on sexual assault allegations against Fox News CEO Roger Ailes, Margot Robbie, Nicole Kidman, and Charlize Theron beautifully portray the harsh reality and the complexities that come with abuse in the workforce.
In this 2020 film, Robbie plays Harley Quinn—a well-known DC Comics character often associated with the Joker. Only this time, they've broken up. Throughout the film, Robbie channels the creepy, the crazy, and the drama perfectly.
While the Barbie film hasn’t actually been released yet, we can only assume that Robbie will deliver a spectacular performance as the iconic, nostalgic childhood toy, alongside co-star Ryan Gosling. In a promo photo for the film, Robbie seamlessly fits the Barbie aesthetic, as she flaunts her bouncy, blonde hair while sitting in a retro, pink convertible.
