Margot Robbie used Twitter to prepare for her journalist role
While actors generally use social media to announce or share updates on their films and lives, Margot Robbie made use of Twitter to prepare for her role in Bombshell. The actor who recently starred in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, got candid about how she transformed herself into a conservative news producer and aspiring broadcast journalist.
Robbie explained that she joined Twitter to prepare for her role as a Fox News journalist saying that “Twitter was extremely helpful. I would follow these conservative girls who are very vocal with their beliefs and their political points of view. And that was fascinating because they’re my age. In some ways, we’d have a lot in common. And then, in other ways I was like, ‘We are living on totally different planets,’“Variety quoted her as saying on iHeart’s movie podcast.
Robbie will be seen in the role of Kayla, a character who takes on the task of representing all the victims of sexual harassment and misconduct at the hands of late Fox News boss Roger Ailes. Sharing her views on the time when she first saw the script, Robbie said, “I was pretty rattled by the time I got to the end of [Charles Randolph’s] script. And I knew long before I finished the script that I wanted to do it and be a part of it, just because I thought it was important to tell, and be a part of, and support in any way that I can. I hadn’t, for once, thought of the character first,” she said. The actor will be seen with Charlize Theron who plays Megyn Kelly and Nicole Kidman as Gretchen Carlson.
