Margot Robbie reveals her best acting tips and how she deals with the pressure of Hollywood.

Before The Wolf of Wall Street, very few people ever even knew who Margot Robbie was. However, since that movie hit theaters, her acting career has been on fire. The beautiful actress is hard to miss, and her upcoming performance in the new Suicide Squad movie is being praised by the cast and crew. In an interview with the New York Times, Robbie spoke about her career’s highs and lows and how she deals with the pressure of working in Hollywood.

Robbie explained that despite working with Martin Scorsese, she still struggles to find acting jobs.She says, “It’s always a hustle. I thought it would be a mountain, where you get to the top, and then it’s like: ‘Wheeee! It’s so easy after this’… Any time I get near the top, I’m like, ‘There’s another mountain!’ The hustle continues.”

One of Robbie’s first major acting jobs was being cast in the ABC drama Pan Am, a series that was quickly canceled after only a few weeks.

She points out, “It’s so much more fun for people to describe it as winning the lottery and the overnight sensation. But it was all very strategic: These are the steps that need to be accomplished.”

Robbie also explained that she never wanted to do nudity for The Wolf of Wall Street, but understood it was going to make or break or acting career.

She recalls, “The sacrifice I have to make is that I have to do this nudity thing that I don’t really want to do. But I get to work with Scorsese, which I really want to do. O.K., what outweighs what?” In fact, Scorsese said she could play the role with no nudity but she thought it wasn’t true to the character, adding, “I was like, she wouldn’t do that, no way. She would be fully naked.”

And she still struggles with self-esteem issues. She points out, “you go do a scene where you’re hosed down and soaking wet in a white T-shirt, it’s so clingy and you’re self-conscious about it.” But, her secret to looking beautiful on screen is all about confidence. She says, “You need to act like you think you’re really gorgeous, and you need to be completely convinced with that, because everyone else will believe it, too.”
