If Margot Robbiejust mother of her first baby, is currently staying away from film sets, the actress and producer recently acclaimed for barbie gave some “tips” as an actress in the podcast Talking Pictures. Invited and recounting memorable filming memories, she revealed her unstoppable technique for crying on command: listening to the soundtrack of Titanic. A cult film to see again this evening on TMC.
Some notes from James Horner or the voice of Céline Dion on “My heart Will Go On” are enough to plunge her into a sad enough mood for tears to flow easily.
“It works every time”she explains. Except one day on the set of Wolf of Wall Streetby Martin Scorsese. And for good reason: while she was preparing to film a arguing scene with her playing partner, he passed in front of her dressing room with… Kate Winslet. Seeing the interpreters of Rose and Jack at James Cameron appear under her nose was so surreal that this time, she didn't burst into tears!
“As soon as I hear the theme song from Titanic, I start sobbing,” she says. “It’s very practical on set: that’s what I do if I know I have to cry during a scene on. The Wolf of Wall Streetthere was this big sequence to shoot, completely crazy, just after my character asked for a divorce (to that of DiCaprio, editor’s note). And it was exactly on that day that Kate Winslet came to visit the set. She had come to say hello to Leo. I was in the room right next to theirs, without knowing it, and I was listening to the soundtrack of Titanic to get me in the mood, prepare me for tears. And then I saw Kate and Leo pass by my door. It was so surreal.”
A funny anecdote to add to the list: behind the scenes of the filming of Wolf of Wall Street were obviously quite crazy. Just like those from Titanic, by the way.
