Margot Robbie Twitter

So seriously, in fact, that she created a top secret, anonymous Twitter account to research for her role in her latest film

To get into character as Kayla, a young, conservative woman eager to carve out a career at the controversial network, Robbie looked to Twitter to find a range of opinions which contradicted her own.

As her real Twitter account - which is followed by 1.2 million people - would likely be quite an obvious platform for the 29-year-old to use to conduct her research, Robbie chose to create another account specifically to follow right-wing American women in an attempt to understand them better.

'I was struggling to understand that point of view for a while, and Twitter ended up being the most useful tool. Because people are extremely vocal on Twitter.'

In the film, Robbie's character is fictional though both her co-star's, Charlize Theron and Nicole Kidman's on-screen personas are portrayals of real women.

Kidman plays Gretchen Carlson, a long-standing journalist who filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against Ailes in 2016, while Theron depicts - with the help of a lot of prosthetics - American newsreader Megyn Kelly, who also claimed Ailes harassed her.

For the record, Margot Robbie is married to an English movie producer named Tom Ackerley, with whom she co-owns a production company. However, this hasn’t stopped people from tweeting dozens of increasingly ridiculous dating rumors this week, linking Robbie to a slew of pro athletes.

The meme began on Jan. 27, seemingly thanks to an inaccurate tweet from a baseball podcast linking her to one of the Toronto Blue Jays. (No such TMZ story exists, and to be honest, Margot Robbie’s minimal level of TMZ coverage emphasizes how drama-free her love life actually is.)

Sports Twitter quickly picked this up as a new meme format, posting fake TMZ headlines claiming that Robbie is now dating various baseball and football players—along with more unlikely figures in the sports world.

In itself, it honestly isn’t a very creative meme. But as the fake TMZ headlines began to spread, some of the athletes responded publicly on Twitter, playing along with the joke.

At this point, Robbie’s list of potential suitors got increasingly absurd, as the “per TMZ” meme escaped sports Twitter and spread elsewhere, reaching the probably-inevitable point of linking Margot Robbie to inanimate objects.

As for Margot Robbie herself, she hasn’t responded to the meme because she isn’t active on social media. And let’s be real here, there’s no real need to deny the obviously-fake rumors. Despite her A-list status, Robbie isn’t really a tabloid fixture, choosing to keep her private life private—and, as far as we know, remain boringly married to a guy she started dating almost a decade ago.

Tells the story of how the sexual harassment reports made by Gretchen Carlson (Nicole Kidman), Megyn Kelly (Charlize Theron), and the fictional associate producer Kayla Popsil (Robbie) led to the epic downfall of late Fox News CEO Roger Ailes (John Lithgow). The film, which hit theaters in December, examined the conservative network's not-so-secret toxic work culture of misogyny.

For Robbie, that meant trying to discover who Kayla would be if she was a real person, and the first step in bringing the character to life was to look into the minds of the women she would likely surround herself with. “I didn’t understand her to begin with, ” Robbie told
