"Margot Robbie knows that the internet is obsessed with her feet, and she doesn't mind the attention.
"The very first time I Googled myself, you know how when you type something into Google and it predicts what the rest of it is going to be? I'd started working and I was on some things and I hadn't Googled myself before, and so I wrote in 'Margot Robbie' and before I finished writing 'Robbie,' 'Margot Robbie feet' came up," the Australian actor told CinemaBlend.
"And I was like, 'Margot Robbie feet? That's weird,'" the star continued. "And I clicked on it and realized that there were pictures zoomed in on my feet and people were writing about them and someone had made a video compilation of footage of my feet and I was like, 'Oh wow, this is like a thing. I didn't realize.'"
Robbie said that she's "been lucky to be in some iconic films," that also happen to include shots of her feet, "which I think has only encouraged this notion."
"I have to say, I'm really flattered that people are excited about my feet," she said. "I think that's lovely. I am, genuinely. I don't feel weird about it. I am actually like, 'That's nice.'"
Robbie's feet recently caught the attention of fans in light of Greta Gerwig's upcoming "Barbie" film, in which she plays the titular doll. When the main trailer was released in May, fans became mystified by the opening scene, showing Robbie's foot maintaining the signature Barbie doll arch even after she steps out of her high-heeled pink shoe.
Robbie, for her part, told Fandango that the aforementioned close-up moment took "about eight takes" and no special effects.
"I walked up, we had little sticky bits on the floor, double-sided tape for the shoes, so they wouldn't come off, so I could get my feet out of them," she explained. "And I was holding on to, like, a bar. But that's it. I wasn't in a harness or anything like that. I just walked up, kind of held on to the bar above [the] camera."
This isn't the first time that Robbie's feet have been a focal point on the big screen.
In Martin Scorsese's 2013 film "The Wolf of Wall Street," which marked Robbie's breakout role in Hollywood, she raises her stiletto and presses it against Leonardo DiCaprio's forehead to stop his character from advancing toward her while on the floor.
Then in Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood," in which Robbie portrays Sharon Tate, one scene features the actor removing her white go-go boots and resting her dirty, bare feet on the seat in front of her while at a movie theater.
And in James Gunn's 2021 film "The Suicide Squad," Robbie's character Harley Quinn intricately uses her feet to grab keys off the floor and free herself from captivity.
During an appearance on ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" in July of that year, Robbie confirmed that she performed the complicated stunt herself.
"I'm very dexterous with my toes," she said. "I could braid someone's hair with my toes, I reckon."
