Actress Margot Robbie felt unattractive as teenager

Los Angeles, Feb 9: Actress Margot Robbie says she grew up feeling very unattractive because she was a "gangly" teenager with glasses and braces.

The 24-year-old, who is rumoured to be dating actor Alexander Skarsgard, says she is surprised to be tagged as one of Hollywood’s most beautiful woman because of her past experiences, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

“I take it as a huge compliment, but I grew up feeling very unattractive. As a teenager, I was gangly and had braces and glasses,” OK! Magazine quoted Robbie as saying.

“I was lucky that I had a pretty glamorous role in ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’, and that was how most people saw me for the first time,” she added.

However, Robbie insists that she will only do films in which her character will have more “substance.”

“I won’t take parts where the female character has no substance. Even Naomi (the character she played in ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’), there was a lot more to her than appeared in the script when I first read it, and Marty (Martin Scorsese) and Leo (Leonardo DiCaprio) were very supportive of making her as strong as possible.” (Bollywood Country Report)
