Margot Robbie, the Australian actress and producer, graces the stage of The Ellen DeGeneres Show for season 16 episode 7. Robbie is known for her roles in popular films such as “The Wolf of Wall Street,” “Suicide Squad,” and “I, Tonya.”
The show opens with the lively and energetic host, Ellen DeGeneres, welcoming Margot Robbie to the stage. The audience breaks out into a thunderous applause as Robbie takes her seat and begins chatting with Ellen.
Margot Robbie starts off the show by discussing her latest film, “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.” The Quentin Tarantino-directed movie, which stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt, depicts the Manson Family murders in Los Angeles in the late 1960s.
Robbie plays the role of Sharon Tate, an actress who was killed by members of the Manson Family. Robbie reveals that she was intimidated by the real-life tragedy, but after reading the script and being offered the role, she felt a responsibility to tell the story of Tate and honor her legacy.
The conversation then shifts to Robbie’s production company, LuckyChap Entertainment. She co-founded the company with her husband, Tom Ackerley, and two of her close friends. Robbie explains that the company’s goal is to tell stories that are diverse and inclusive, and that feature strong female leads.
The actress then talks about the importance of women telling their own stories, both in front of and behind the camera. She expresses her hope that LuckyChap Entertainment can help make Hollywood more inclusive and diverse.
Ellen and Margot continue their conversation by discussing the time they met on the set of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” years ago, and how they both like to dance. Ellen challenges Margot to join her for a dance party on stage, and together they get the audience on their feet with some energetic moves.
After the dance party, Ellen plays a game with Margot called “5 Second Rule,” where the actress must answer questions within a very short amount of time. Robbie demonstrates her quick wit and humor as she answers questions about her favorite movies and foods.
The show concludes with Robbie discussing her upcoming films, including the highly anticipated “Birds of Prey” and “Barbie.” Ellen thanks Margot for joining her on the show and for sharing her journey in Hollywood with the audience.
Overall, season 16 episode 7 of The Ellen DeGeneres Show featuring Margot Robbie is a fun and engaging conversation that covers a range of topics, from Robbie’s latest film to her work as a producer and her hopes for Hollywood’s future. And of course, Ellen’s dance party with Robbie is not to be missed!
