Really, it's to focus on her Lemmy presence.

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 115 points 11 months ago

@MargotRobbie@lemmy.world would you like to comment on this decision?

[-] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 138 points 11 months ago

I, um, had to deal with some things that has kept me very busy for the past 2 weeks.

Yeah...

[-] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 30 points 11 months ago

Understandable. Have a nice day.

[-] bradorsomething@ttrpg.network 14 points 11 months ago

Don’t Margo. Marstay.

The press junket for Barbie seemed pretty nonstop for months.

Perhaps Ms Robbie is sick of us, too.

[-] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 90 points 11 months ago

To tell you the truth, no Barbie shilling or character actress or any of my other running gags here.

Yeah, especially after the last weeks. I'm sorry.

She's too busy shitposting on Lemmy, obviously.

There’s a Lemmy.world user by the name of MargotRobbie.

[-] ripcord@kbin.social 45 points 11 months ago

Who cosplays as Margot Robbie too. It's not just a name (for more context)

[-] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 73 points 11 months ago

It's almost like pretending to be a character is what I do for a living or something.

Might have been nominated for a few awards for it too.

[-] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago

We can't not adore you.

[-] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 70 points 11 months ago

That's esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie to you!

I mean that's not a bad idea. There are movies l started avoiding cause I was sick of the actors in them being in everything. Got so sick of anything with Jennifer Lawrence or Bradley Cooper

[-] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 127 points 11 months ago

If you want to avoid me, Lemmy is like the last place you would want to be...

I'm like, everywhere here.

Before Barbie came out, I thought your profile was a marketing/PR team promoting the movie. I'm kinda convinced now that this may just be your account. Celebrities are regular people too and frankly, I only know your characters, not you as a person or how you care to spend your time. But we're all just people being humans.

I go to my little local movie theater all the time. Three times just this week. My wife and I LOVE the cinematic experience!

I just want to tell you, I REALLY enjoyed Babylon! It felt like an epic tale of the rise and fall of "empires", whether referring to eras of film making, industry magnates, prolific celebrities of the time, all changing/growing and then devolving through debauchery to depravity and finally, collapse (I imagine the point of the title.) All the characters intertwined through separate, steep trajectories. Reminded me of Casino. I don't read many reviews or critics; I'm not really sure how it was "officially" received, but from an avid movie-goer in a tiny little mountain town in the US, I thoroughly enjoyed your performance!

[-] SwingingTheLamp@midwest.social 40 points 11 months ago

It's gotten to the point where I kind of hope it's not the real Margot Robbie. I want to stand in awe of somebody out there who's this committed to the joke.

[-] Holyhandgrenade@lemmy.world 35 points 11 months ago

I somehow doubt the real Margot is an avid Android tech enthusiast

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

have you ever seen margot robbie and linus torvalds in the same room together?

I for one am not sick of Margot Robbie, she seems to only get better at acting and she seems to be good to her fans. Also you really don't hear scandals and bullshit out of her like so many celebrities

So does she need a middle aged man to make margaritas and gossip by the pool with her?

[-] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 40 points 11 months ago

That position has been filled. Sorry.

Well good on Margot for taking some time off to focus on other things. Still being in the industry but avoiding the spotlight sounds like a good way to remain grounded.

[-] thefloweracidic@lemmy.world 46 points 11 months ago
[-] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 85 points 11 months ago

Perhaps buying a copy of the collector's edition Blu-ray of the Golden Globe winning movie, Barbie, will cheer you up.

[-] thefloweracidic@lemmy.world 35 points 11 months ago

I'll buy 3 more, thanks for the advice

[-] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 44 points 11 months ago

It turns out organic marketing is that easy. Huh.

[-] thefloweracidic@lemmy.world 20 points 11 months ago

I LOVE YOU PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME

[-] Bobmighty@lemmy.world 24 points 11 months ago

Also because she's sick of the people I bet. I wouldn't blame her. We can be a bunch of fuckers as a species.

I mean when you've been played with by millions of girls for decades, you'd worry people were sick of you too.

Kudos for her for still looking young despite being a teenager since 1959.

[-] VerseAndVermin@lemmy.world 17 points 11 months ago

Samara Weaving liked that.

I've got to say, I enjoyed Barbie more than I expected to. Maybe because I was jetlagged out of my brain on a 13-hour flight when I watched it, but I was probably disturbing my neighbors the amount I was giggling and trying not to burst out laughing. They did a great job of touching on serious issues in an informative and entertaining manner without being preachy or annoying, too. Fantastic movie!
