It’s no surprise, then, that Margot Robbie, the film’s star in the titular role of Barbie, touched on her own relationship with her mother during the film’s extensive press tour.
, Robbie revealed that she used earnings from her work in movies to pay off her mom’s mortgage in 2014. According to Robbie, her mother, Sarie Kessler, lent her money from the mortgage to help Robbie out when she first started acting.Robbie’s big break came in 2013’s “The Wolf of Wall Street” for which she earned just $347,000 in her role as Naomi Lapaglia opposite Leonardo DiCaprio’s Jordan Belfort. .
