Margot Robbie's Shocking Career Gift: A Diet Book?

During a recent interview, Margot Robbie shared a surprising anecdote about an inappropriate gift received early in her career. An unnamed male co-star presented her with a book titled 'Why French Women Don't Get Fat,' which Robbie interpreted as a message to reduce her food intake and lose weight.

Robbie expressed her strong negative reaction to the gift, stating she was shocked by the co-star's apparent implication. She emphasized that this occurred very early in her professional journey, suggesting it was before she achieved widespread recognition in Hollywood.

The book was published in 2007, several years before Robbie's major American roles, including her part in the TV series Pan Am (2011-2012) and her breakout performance in The Wolf of Wall Street (2013). This timeline suggests the actor who gave her the book was not one of her more famous leading men from her later career.

Robbie's career began in Australian television, notably on the soap opera Neighbors. She gained significant attention there before making the transition to international film, acting alongside major stars after her 2013 breakthrough.

This discussion coincides with the release of the new Wuthering Heights adaptation, where Robbie stars opposite Jacob Elordi. The film has garnered attention for its romantic interpretation of the classic novel.
