Margot Robbie's Bold New Adventure: Teaming Up with Colin Farrell!
MARGOT ROBBIE SHUTS DOWN BARBIE SEQUEL RUMORS, SPILLS TEA ON MOTHERHOOD AND HER ROMANTIC NEW PROJECT
The darling of Hollywood, Margot Robbie, has finally opened up about the highly-anticipated Barbie sequel that had fans on the edge of their seats for years. But don't get too excited, folks! In a recent interview with Stellar Magazine (published exclusively on thescholarlynote.com), the 35-year-old Australian actress dropped some bombshell news: there won't be a follow-up to the $1.4 billion box office blockbuster anytime soon.
"I've realized that what I get the most satisfaction from in life is seeing people or things reach their full potential," Margot said, looking stunning as always with her signature blonde hair and radiant smile. "Barbie was a movie that reached its full potential, and everything I wanted for it happened. There's nothing more satisfying than that."
When asked by Stellar Magazine if there were any plans for a sequel, Margot was brutally honest: "There's nothing right now." Ouch! It looks like the Barbie dreamhouse is closing its doors for good.
But don't worry, Margot fans! The starlet is not done with us yet. In fact, she's about to embark on a brand new romantic fantasy adventure alongside none other than Irish heartthrob Colin Farrell in A Big Bold Beautiful Journey. And let's just say, the script had her swooning.
"I read it and I was like, 'Wow, this is exquisite. It feels very original, magical, and romantic,'" Margot gushed. "I wanted to do a love story, and when I saw Colin, I knew he was perfect for it."
In the film, Margot and Colin play characters who meet by chance and are given the chance to relive their major life moments together through a mysterious portal in the woods. Think The Notebook meets The Time Traveler's Wife, but with more romance and fewer tears (we hope).
But what about Margot's personal life? The actress recently welcomed her first child with husband Tom Ackerley in Los Angeles last October, and she's finally opening up about motherhood.
"I don't even know how to sum it all up in a neat sound bite," Margot confessed. "It's too big." Translation: being a mom is the best thing that's ever happened to her!
When asked what life was like as a new mom, Margot joked, "It's like trying to explain something to someone who doesn't have kids – they just get it, or if they don't, it's probably boring to hear." She then dropped another bombshell: "It's the best," she said with a smile.
And speaking of bests, let's talk about Margot's diet and fitness secrets. In an interview with Emirates Woman (published exclusively on thescholarlynote.com), the Oscar nominee revealed that she's not exactly known for moderation when it comes to food. "I get miserable if I don't eat," she said candidly. "I can't just have a salad every day and a half a glass of wine every second day."
But when it's time to get camera-ready, Margot gets serious about her diet. She revealed that in the lead-up to an event, she'll cut out saturated fats, fast food, sugary drinks, and (gasp!) chocolate. "If I have to get into a bikini, then I'll eat carrot sticks for three days," she confessed with a laugh.
On the other hand, working out is something Margot takes very seriously. In an interview with Women's Health, she revealed her love affair with Pilates: "I really got into Pilates when I moved to LA [in 2013]. Always feel a lot better after a good stretch," she explained.
So there you have it – Margot Robbie is back and better than ever! With A Big Bold Beautiful Journey hitting theaters nationwide on Thursday, we can't wait to see what's next for this talented actress.
