Margot Robbie thinks she got her \u201cmaggot\u201d nickname after a substitute teacher made a roll call mistake<\/p>\n
The \u2018Babylon\u2019 actress, 32, told \u2018The Project\u2019 on Tuesday (17.01.23) she has had the moniker since the age of six due to the classroom stand-in mispronouncing her first name, and says she is amazed it is still being talked about more than two decades later.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cThat has been my nickname since I was six years old.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think a substitute teacher made a mistake on the roll call and said \u2018maggot\u2019 and everyone love laughed. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou can\u2019t pick a nickname \u2013 you get given it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nMargot\u2019s nickname is back in the spotlight after one of her childhood friends shouted: \u201cHey, maggot!\u201d at the star when they reunited at the \u2018Babylon\u2019 premiere in Sydney, Australia.<\/p>\n
\nThe actress added on \u2018The Project\u2019 she hoped the teacher\u2019s mistake would have been forgotten by lunch time, but has ended up still talking about it more than 20 years on.<\/p>\n
\nShe has said her new film \u2018Babylon\u2019 was a \u201cwild ride\u201d and added she feared filmmakers wouldn\u2019t get away with its now famous cocaine-fuelled opening orgy scene.<\/p>\n
\nThe \u2018Wolf of Wall Street\u2019 actress, who plays self-destructive silent film star Nellie LaRoy in the film, added she started to wonder if certain images could be shown on screen when she read the script.<\/p>\n
\nShe made the admission while discussing the film during a chat at the end of 2022 with Carey Mulligan as part of Variety\u2019s \u2018Actors on Actors\u2019 series.<\/p>\n
\nCarey, 37, said its opening scene was an \u201cenormously debauched\u201d and \u201ccrazy, wild party\u201d with \u201clots of people wearing very little or nothing\u201d.<\/p>\n
\nMargot agreed: \u201cIt\u2019s pretty much a party-slash-orgy. It kind of turns into an orgy.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cWhen I read the script, I was like, \u2018’This is like \u2018La Dolce Vita\u2019 and \u2018Wolf of Wall Street\u2019 had a baby \u2013 and I love it!<\/p>\n
\n\u201cBut I was like, ‘\u2019Are we allowed to show that? Are we allowed to show that?\u2019’ <\/p>\n
\n\u201cThere were so many scenes where I was like, a) I have no idea how I\u2019m going to do that, and b) are we going to get away with this?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
\nWhen Carey said she had watched the film with her mum, Margot joked: \u201cEveryone should see Babylon with their parents. It won\u2019t be awkward at all.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nMargot\u2019s co-star Brad Pitt, 59, has admitted he found the amount of nudity in the movie \u201cshocking\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
