Margot Robbie discusses unexpected failure of 'Babylon'

Margot Robbie still doesn’t understand why people “hated” her 2022 film Babylon.

The 34-year-old actress shared her thoughts on the failure of the historical movie during an appearance on the Talking Pictures podcast.

“I am still saying that I love it. I don’t get it either. I know I am biased because I am very close to the project and I obviously believe in it, but I still can’t figure out why people hated it,” said Margot.

The Barbie star explained, “I wonder if in 20 years people are going to be like, ‘Wait, Babylon’ didn’t do well at the time?’ Like when you hear that ‘Shawshank Redemption’ was a failure at the time and you’re like like, ‘How is that possible?'”

Sharing her working experience with Babylon’s director Damien Chazelle, Margot said, “Damien is so thorough.”

“Do you know what I loved so much about working with him? I felt like no one had really put their foot to the floor with the gas, but he wanted that all the time. He wanted more always. Even when we were prepping,” added the Amsterdam star.
