Margot Robbie Auditioned for Focus After Not Sleeping for Two Days
Ah! Margot Robbie was on vacation in Croatia when she heard she had landed an audition with Will Smith for upcoming flick Focus the following day — which meant she had to hightail it out of there and make it to New York City Amazing Race-style, the actress admitted to reporters at a press conference on Monday, Feb. 9.
"It was 6 in the morning," the Wolf of Wall Street actress told Us Weekly and other reporters at an event in Los Angeles. "I'd been swimming, and I got the call saying, 'Oh, yeah. You need to be doing an audition with Will Smith like tomorrow in New York. So your flight's booked for tonight.'"
"And I was like, 'Tonight? Oh, my God.' I asked the lady at the hostel I was staying at, 'Oh, how do I get off this island? I need to go to the mainland.' And she was like, 'Oh, there's only one boat a day, and it leaves in 20 minutes.' And I was like, 'Oh, my God,’” she continued.
Robbie recalled she then grabbed all her belongings, “left half of it probably in the hostel,” and got to the airport.
“I waited eight hours, and then I went to France, and then I went to New York. And by the time I got to New York, I'd now not slept for, like, well over two days,” she said.
To make it all even more chaotic? The blonde said the airline also lost her luggage.
“My audition was about seven hours away,” she explained. “So I walk into the audition in wet sneakers and denim shorts and a pajama shirt, which was the only dry thing I had before they lost my luggage. I just walked in. And I was like, 'I cannot meet Will Smith in my pajama shirt.' So I went to Topshop and grabbed [a] top and then walked in."

Smith, who was present for what she’s dubbed the “horrendous” moment, chimed in and told reporters, “No, no” she didn’t look awful.
And while we’re sure it’s hard for Robbie to ever look “horrendous”, producer Denise DiNovi also weighed in on the star’s hot mess moment, confirming, “[She was] amazing. No makeup. No sleep. [But] she was amazing.”
