Margot Robbie has revealed that she improvised a kiss with her co-star Brad Pitt while filming Damien Chazelle’s forthcoming film Babylon.
In an interview with E! News, Robbie said that the kiss “wasn’t in the script” and that she took the opportunity to go for it.
“I thought, ‘When else am I gonna get the chance to kiss Brad Pitt?’ I’m just going to go for it,” she said. Chazelle was impressed with the take and asked them to do the scene again.
Babylon is set in 1920s Hollywood as the movie industry transitions out of the era of silent films. Robbie stars as Nellie LaRay, an up-and-coming actor, while Pitt plays the role of Jack Conrad.
The film is thought to be another Oscar contender for Chazelle, who has previously directed acclaimed hits such as Whiplash and La La Land.
Robbie and Pitt have previously starred together in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood and Adam McKay’s The Big Short.
Robbie said that she also kissed her co-star Katherine Waterston for the film, but was unsure whether that scene made the final cut. She also revealed that she has never worked as hard on a film as she did on Babylon.
“I’ve never worked that hard in my life,” she said. “I was shattered by the end of that job.”
Robbie is an Australian actor who rose to fame after starring in The Wolf of Wall Street. She has since been nominated for several awards, including an Oscar and a BAFTA.
In addition to her acting career, Robbie has also worked as a producer and is the founder of the production company LuckyChap Entertainment.
Born in Dalby, Queensland, Robbie grew up on a farm in the Gold Coast hinterland. She began acting at a young age and appeared in several Australian television shows and films before moving to Hollywood.
In addition to her work in film and television, Robbie has also lent her voice to several animated projects, including the Oscar-nominated film I, Tonya.
She has also been involved in several charitable organizations, including the Wild Animal Sanctuary and the Elizabeth Stone House.
Robbie is currently in a relationship with British filmmaker Tom Ackerley, whom she met while filming Suite Française in 2014. The couple got married in a private ceremony in December 2016.
In addition to her acting and producing work, Robbie is also an accomplished horse rider and has competed in several equestrian events.
She has said that she hopes to one day compete in the Olympics.
