She’s the Gold Coast girl who fell for an A-lister… but couldn’t tame him.
Filming sizzling scenes with the movie star whose posters papered her teenage self’s walls, it’s no wonder Aussie actress Margot Robbie fell head over heels for Leonardo DiCaprio.
And when her crush was not only accepted but returned by one of the most wanted men in Hollywood, it was like the fairytale ending she’d been dreaming of. The Logie-nominated Gold Coast girl, who began her career in Neighbours at age 17, could hardly believe her luck. And why would she?
Insiders on the set of box-office smash The Wolf of Wall Street say the chemistry between Margot, 23, and Leo, 39, was instant, sparking an intense romance between the on-screen love interests.
Well aware of Leo’s reputation as a “modeliser” who seems to select his girlfriends straight from a Victoria’s Secret catalogue, Margot initially kept her cards close to her chest. It appears her tactic to play it cool worked a treat, with Leo soon wining and dining his beautiful co-star, even spending New Year’s Eve 2012 with her on a yacht on Sydney Harbour.
