Margot Robbie made Bombshell to be taught extra about sexual harassment

2019 movie by director Jay Roach Bomb was (principally) primarily based on true accounts of sexual harassment girls skilled on Fox Information, with Charlize Theron enjoying Megyn Kelly, Nicole Kidman enjoying Gretchen Carlson, and Margot Robbie enjoying…a made-up one that does not actually exist. However, it seems that Robbie did not be a part of the challenge so he might dramatize the actual experiences of an actual individual anyway. Talking at a BAFTA occasion this week to rejoice his profession (Going via Selection), Robbie revealed that she took the job as a result of she wished to be taught extra about sexual harassment — one thing she apparently did not find out about earlier than.

“I noticed that as somebody with a longtime place within the business, financially established and empowered, I did not know the definition of sexual harassment, and that is stunning,” she defined, including that she was ‘horrified’ by how little she knew in regards to the topic and the way predators within the office can get away with harassment due to the way in which it ‘thrives within the grey space’ .

Additionally on the occasion, Robbie mentioned that Me Tonya was the primary movie through which she felt like she had grow to be actress (we’ll prevent some Googling and simply observe that it got here out after she debuted as Harley Quinn in suicide squad), and after that, she felt impressed to begin actively reaching out to administrators she wished to work with. One among these directors was a talkative younger man named Quentin Tarantino, who later solid Robbie for Sharon Tate in As soon as upon a time… in Hollywood.

And talking of Me Tonya, Selection reminds us that Robbie admitted just a few years in the past that she did not notice Tonya Harding was an actual individual at first, so she learns rather a lot by making films, apparently. (Robbie was born in 1990 and isn’t American, so she has each proper to not know who Tonya Harding was earlier than the movie.)
