Margot Robbie Was Never The Same After The Wolf Of Wall Street

At the after-party for the London premiere for “The Wolf of Wall Street,” Margot Robbie, future husband Tom Ackerley, and friends Josey McNamara and Sophia Kerr decided to move in together. Not only was the decision life-changing for her romantic future with Ackerley, but the living situation ending up birthing a new avenue for Robbie outside of acting: producing.
While the years following “The Wolf of Wall Street” were prosperous for Robbie’s career, the actress felt creatively stifled by a lot of the roles she was offered, most of which were very similar to Naomi. Even though Robbie was just 24 years old at the time, she wanted to create her own opportunities for stronger female roles, as McNamara told Variety: “She was at a place in her career where she had the ability to set up a company, and wanted to support other female creatives and give them the platform she was getting herself.”
The production company founded by Robbie, Ackerley, McNamara, and Kerr became known as LuckyChap Entertainment, and has been the main vehicle for Robbie-led movies like “I, Tonya,” “Birds of Prey,” and “Barbie,” as well as other notable films like “Promising Young Woman” and “Saltburn.” The company has been integral in putting more women in front of the camera, while also championing roles for women behind it as directors, writers, and crew members.
