Margot Robbie is well-acquainted with smashing records at the box office thanks to last summer’s Barbie. However, when it comes to looking back on her leading role in Babylon, she doesn’t understand why people didn’t connect with it. In her words:

The Hollywood epic sees Chazelle embrace an aesthetic of decadence and depravity to showcase the outrageous excess of 1920s Hollywood, as the industry transitions from silent pictures to the talkies. Robbie leads the film as fiery “It” girl Nellie LaRoy, a character inspired by the real-life Clara Bow.

Margot Robbie appeared on the “Talking Pictures” podcast and expressed her continued bafflement over moviegoers hating “Babylon,” her infamous 2022 box office flop co-starring Brad Pitt. Directed by “La La Land” Oscar winner Damian Chazelle,
