Australian actress says her family has “no connection” to the industry
Margot Robbie has revealed her family wanted her to quit acting to get a “real job”.
The 27-year-old, who is up for an Oscar nomination for her role in I, Tonya, says her family couldn’t take her career seriously at first because none of them worked in the industry entertainment.
She told Vogue: “My family has no connection to the entertainment industry, so when I started acting, everyone said to me, ‘It’s fun, but when are you really going to find a real job?’.
She added: “And it went on for years.”
Robbie, who had his first role on Australian soap opera, Neighbours, landed his breakthrough role in Wolf of Wall Street alongside Hollywood sensation Leonardo DiCaprio.
Despite her success in recent years, with roles such as Suicide Squad, The Legend of Tarzan and Focus, she confessed that her family always made sure she was grounded.

Nicole Kidman, posing alongside Robbie for Vogue, admitted she always feels “lucky” when she’s cast.
The 50-year-old actress, who has three Golden Globes under her belt, also still suffers from terrible nerves.
“I always feel like the kid from acting school hoping to land a role. I always feel like I’m lucky and lucky to have this job,” he said. she declared.
“Part of my job now is to give back and help create opportunities for the next generation – especially with female directors, because it’s so unbalanced.”
