She has become synonymous with her signature blonde locks over the years.
But Margot Robbie looks very different in her upcoming romantic chick flick, A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, alongside Colin Farrell, 49.
In the trailer, the Queensland-born star, 34, rocks strawberry blonde locks and a thick fringe — a swift departure from her Barbie roots.
About the Film
The movie, which also stars Kevin Kline and Phoebe Waller-Bridge, is set to hit Aussie screens later this year on September 18.
It tells the story of Sarah (Robbie) and David (Farrell), who meet at a mutual friend’s wedding and are soon swept up in an out-of-worldly adventure to relive their past milestone moments together.
Margot Robbie’s Busy Year
Margot has been very busy despite sensationally announcing in 2023 that she would be stepping back from acting for a stint.
As well as appearing in A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, the actress has been filming Emerald Fennel’s Wuthering Heights adaptation alongside fellow Aussie Jacob Elordi.
Margot is also producing the classic via her production company LuckyChap Entertainment, which she started with her husband Tom Ackerley.
Taking a Break from Acting
The Suicide Squad alum previously said she was planning on hitting the brakes following the success of her lead role in Barbie.
Speaking to Deadline, she said she intended to work off-screen after years of building her acting portfolio.
She added that she wanted to take a break from starring in movies as she thinks everyone is “sick” of seeing her after her role in Greta Gerwig’s blockbuster.
“I also think everyone’s probably sick of the sight of me for now. I should probably disappear from screens for a while,” she said.
“Honestly, if I did another movie too soon, people would say, ‘Her again? We just did a whole summer with her. We’re over it.’”
“I don’t know what I’ll do next, but I hope it’s a little while away.”
Ambitions Behind the Camera
The thespian noted that she’s also been busy working behind the screen producing.
Elsewhere in the interview, Margot laid bare her ambitions to direct a movie of her own, after years of producing critically acclaimed content.
“I really do want to direct,” she said.
“I’ve felt like I wanted to direct for about the last seven years. But I’ve always seen it as a privilege, not a right.”
