Margot Robbie once had the world's rudest coworker.

"Very, very early in my career, an actor I worked with, a male actor gave me a book called *French Women Don't Get Fat*, and it was essentially a book telling you to eat less," the actress and producer said in a conversation with Charli XCX for *Complex*. "And I was like, f--- you, dude."

She added, "He essentially gave me a book to let me know that I should lose weight. I was like, 'Wow.'"

The book by Mireille Guiliano was published in 2007, the same year the Australian actress earned her first professional acting credits in TV and movie projects. She became more visible in the single-season series *Pan Am*, which ended in 2012, and in 2013's *The Wolf of Wall Street*, where she played the love interest of Leonardo DiCaprio's Jordan Belfort.

She's since had memorable turns in movies such as 2016's *Suicide Squad*; 2017's *I, Tonya*; 2019's *Once Upon a Time in Hollywood*; 2019's *Bombshell*; and *Barbie* in 2023.

She next appears in *Wuthering Heights*, writer and director Emerald Fennell's reimagining of Emily Brontë's gothic romance that was first published in 1847. Robbie plays Catherine, the lover of Heathcliff, who's portrayed by Jacob Elordi, whose most recent movie was *Frankenstein*.

Charli XCX is set to release the soundtrack to the romantic drama on Friday, Feb. 13, the same day the movie arrives in theaters.

Robbie has teased that Elordi is something to see in this role.

"I saw him play Heathcliff, and he is Heathcliff," Robbie told *Vogue* U.K. in January. "I'd say, just wait. Trust me, you'll be happy. It's a character that has this lineage of other great actors who've played him, from Laurence Olivier to Richard Burton and Ralph Fiennes to Tom Hardy. To be a part of that is special. He's incredible, and I believe in him so much. I honestly think he's our generation's Daniel Day-Lewis."

Meanwhile, Fennell similarly raved about Robbie.

"It needed somebody like Margot, who's a star, not just an incredible actress — which she is — but somebody who has a power, an otherworldly power, a Godlike power, that means people lose their minds," the director of *Promising Young Woman *and* Saltburn* said at the Brontë Women's Writing Festival in September, per the BBC.**
