Margot Robbie<\/a> has credited Rachel McAdams with helping her land all her major roles.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Margot Robbie is inspired by Rachel McAdams<\/p>\n
The 35-year-old star – who has appeared in the likes of Barbie, Wuthering Heights and The Wolf of Wall Street over her illustrious career – was inspired by her fellow actress’ audition for The Notebook, and watched it back before her own auditions.<\/p>\n
She told BBC Radio 2: “I used to watch Rachel McAdams\u2019 audition for The Notebook before I would go to auditions.<\/p>\n
“She\u2019s so good, and she\u2019s so charming and real, and like, in it. I used to watch it before I\u2019d go to an audition, I was like, \u2018OK, just try and be as good as her.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n
Margot was asked if The Notebook audition actually ever helped her win a role, and she insisted that’s true of “any part” she landed.<\/p>\n
\nShe explained: “Technically, you could say any part I got would\u2019ve been in thanks to her because I was always watching her audition before.<\/p>\n
\n“It\u2019s just the commitment. I always watched it to remind myself that you have to fully commit in the audition room.”<\/p>\n
\nThe pair got to work together in Richard Curtis’ 2013 time travel rom com About Time, and it only reaffirmed Margot’s respect for how the Send Help star works.<\/p>\n
\nShe recalled: “I got to work with her in About Time. I had a small role, and she\u2019s the lead in it.<\/p>\n
\n“I was absolutely no one back then and she was so lovely to me and my brother. I\u2019ll never forget how she\u2019d go out of her way to be so kind. I just love her.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nMargot is best known for her on-screen work but she also co-owns production company LuckyChap Entertainment, and she previously insisted her two jobs are very different.<\/p>\n
\nAsked if pitching a new film feels like auditioning for a role during the Hollywood Reporter’s Actresses Round Table, she said: “It feels like selling. It feels like I\u2019m a con artist convincing everyone that something insane is actually going to work.<\/p>\n
\n“Whereas auditioning feels like \u2026 The funny thing is, I\u2019m not good at lying. And people are like, ‘Don\u2019t you lie for a living?’ No, I\u2019ve never seen acting as that.<\/p>\n
\n“I feel like acting is making something so incredibly truthful, and making it sound like the most honest thing that could ever come out of your mouth. <\/p>\n
\n“Whereas pitching, it\u2019s not lying, either, but it\u2019s a lot of promising something you don\u2019t actually know.”<\/p>\n
