Margot Robbie Reveals the Moment an Actor Told Her to “Eat Less” — and How It Changed Her View of Hollywood 
One quiet gift, one cruel message — and a lasting reminder of the pressure women face behind the spotlight. 
Margot Robbie has shared a deeply personal story about a moment early in her career, when another actor once gave her a book with a message that strongly suggested she should “eat less.”

Instead, it came quietly, wrapped in what appeared to be advice. Yet the message was unmistakable: her body was being judged as something that needed fixing.

Robbie now speaks openly about the importance of protecting mental health and resisting harmful expectations, especially for young performers entering the industry.
