Margot Robbie reached a major milestone in her career as she received a BAFTA: A Life in Pictures tribute in London, becoming the youngest-ever Hollywood star to be honored with this recognition. The British Academy of Film and Television Arts celebrated Robbie's impressive acting portfolio, which includes nearly 30 film credits, as well as her successful ventures as a producer over the past decade.

During the event, Robbie reflected on her journey and revealed the moment she felt she had truly "made it" as an actor. She explained that it was while watching her film I, Tonya, in 2017 that she realized she was a talented performer.

Her remarkable portrayal of figure skater Tonya Harding earned her a nomination for Best Actress at the 90th Academy Awards. This achievement gave her the confidence to reach out to her idols, including the renowned writer-director Quentin Tarantino.

Robbie credited her decision to contact Tarantino as the catalyst for her role as Sharon Tate in 2019's Once Upon a Time... In Hollywood, which she described as a bucket list moment. Despite some criticism about her limited screen time compared to Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt's characters in the film, Robbie expressed her satisfaction with the role, stating that she believed they effectively conveyed their intended message.

In a fascinating twist, Robbie revealed that she recreated a scene from the movie in her real life. She visited the same Los Angeles movie theater featured in Once Upon a Time... In Hollywood, where her character watches her own film The Wrecking Crew. The actress shared that the experience closely mirrored that of her character, even encountering a fan who recognized her and asked for a photo, just as Tate does in the film.

During the BAFTA Life in Pictures event, Robbie also opened up about her role in Bombshell, admitting that she had been unaware of the true definition of sexual harassment prior to accepting the part.

She confessed her shock at this realization and expressed her horror at how prevalent these issues are in society. Robbie emphasized the importance of understanding the complex nature of sexual harassment and how it often thrives in the gray areas between blatant misconduct and acceptable behavior.
