In an interview with Wonderland, the Australian actress opened up about her low self-esteem regarding the role of Jordan Belfort's wife Naomi - a character she explains was described in the script as “the hottest blonde ever” - in the 2013 film from Martin Scorsese.

It was so high-tempo sexy. I was acutely aware that the line in the screenplay was 'the hottest blonde ever', I'm clearly not the hottest blonde ever, ” she said.

, will next be seen playing ice skater Tonya Harding in forthcoming biographical drama I, Tonya which recently won rave reviews at TIFF (Toronto International Film festival).

The 32-year-old actress said she has already experiences job rejections because of her age. “Now I'm in my early thirties and I'm like, 'Why did that 24-year-old get that part? I was that 24-year-old once. I can't be upset about it, it's the way things are, ” she told Glamour.

On news that Maggie Gyllenhaal had been turned down for being ‘too old’, aged 37, to play a 55-year-old man’s partner: “It’s f***ing outrageous. It’s ridiculous. Honestly, it’s so annoying. And ’twas ever thus. We all watched James Bond as he got more and more geriatric, and his girlfriends got younger and younger. It’s so annoying.”

Margot Robbie Says She Was

Gyllenhaal revealed she was told by a Hollywood producer that she was too old, aged 37, to play the love interest of a 55-year-old man. “It was astonishing to me. It made me feel bad, and then it made feel angry, and then it made me laugh, ” she said at the time.

Meryl Streep has helped fund an all-female screenwriters group called The Writer’s Lab to encourage more women to pen Hollywood scripts. She previously told Vogue in 2011: “Once women pass childbearing age they could only be seen as grotesque on some level.”

The actress said she thought Hollywood is “still completely s***” when it comes to treating women equally to men. ““When I was younger, I really did think we were on our way to a better world. And when I look at it now, it is in a worse state than I have known it, particularly for women, and I find that very disturbing and sad.”

Banks said she was driven from acting to directing due to the lack of roles for older women in Hollywood. “[Industry sexism] drove me to direct for sure. I definitely was feeling that I was unfulfilled and a little bit bored by the things that were coming across my desk. I mean look at Gwyneth Paltrow who has her Oscar [for Shakespeare in Love] and played fifth banana to Iron Man, ” she told Deadline.

“I had never seen a 49-year-old, dark-skinned woman who is not a size 2 be a sexualised role in TV or film. I'm a sexual woman, but nothing in my career has ever identified me as a sexualised woman. I was the prototype of the ‘mommified’ role, ” she told The Hollywood Reporter.

The Lord of the Rings actress said she only get cast in roles where she is treated as a “second class citizen” at the age of 38. “When you’re in your teens or twenties, there is an abundance of ingenue parts which are exciting to play. But at [my age], you’re usually the wife or the girlfriend - a sort of second-class citizen. There are more interesting roles for women when they get a bit older, ” she told More magazine.

The actress famously called out sexism on the red carpet at the 2014 Screen Actors Guild Awards. When a camera operator scanned her up and down, she said: “Do you do this to the guys?” In her Oscar acceptance speech for Blue Jasmine, she reminded the film industry that movies with leading women can still be successful. “And thank you to... those of us in the industry who are still foolishly clinging to the idea that female films, with women at the centre, are niche experiences. They are not -- audiences want to see them and, in fact, they earn money. The world is round, people.”

Asked if she had ever encountered sexism in Hollywood, Page told The Guardian: ‘Oh my God, yeah! It's constant! It's how you're treated, it's how you're looked at, how you're expected to look in a photoshoot, it's how you're expected to shut up and not have an opinion, it's how you... If you're a girl and you don't fit the very specific vision of what a girl should be, which is always from a man's perspective, then you're a little bit at a loss.”

The actress says she refuses roles where she has to play the generic girlfriend, wife or sexy bombshell. It's very hard being a woman in a man's world, and I recognised it was a man's world even when I was a kid. It's an inequality and injustice that drove me crazy, and which I always spoke out against — and I've always been outspoken, ” she told Manhattan magazine.

The actress spoke to ELLE about negotiating equal pay for the Snow White and the Huntsman sequel: This is a good time for us to bring this to a place of fairness, and girls need to know that being a feminist is a good thing. It doesn't mean that you hate men. It means equal rights. If you're doing the same job, you should be compensated and treated in the same way.

“All the reading, all the acting coaching, and then someone reviews the movie or interviews you and all they do is focus on the aesthetics, ” she expressed.

The actor - who is now one of the biggest names in Hollywood - was a guest on Aussie radio show Fitzy & Wippa, where the hosts asked her about how she coped with all the nudity in her latest movie,

Curious about how they accurately portrayed the nudity in the comedy-drama, set in 1920s Hollywood, Wippa replied: When you've got a period piece, I've heard that a lot of the time it's quite hard to find women with real breasts and pubic hair.

I'm not sure why exactly locating 'real breasts' would be an issue, but it was at this point that Robbie lifted the lid on merkins, which she said you could find in abundance on

I guess people would go in and pick one out... It was fascinating, and a little known fact about the filmmaking industry.

Robbie was one of many women to go nude in the Wolf of Wall Street, despite director Martin Scorsese giving her the option to water it down a little.

The much-loved movie is based on the story of controversial stockbroker Jordan Belfort, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, with Robbie playing Naomi Lapaglia, Belfort's second wife in the film.

The role featured numerous sexual scenes, including a full-frontal nude scene, and Robbie admitted she was apprehensive about the scenes being immortalised on the internet.

However, when director Scorsese suggested diluting things for her comfort, she made the brave decision to turn him down, in favour of preserving the integrity of the film.

Speaking to The Telegraph in 2014, aged just 23, she said: I think nudity for the sake of nudity is shameful. If they've put it in just so that a girl gets her top off, then that's disgusting. And you can always tell.

But I also think it's disgusting when someone would have got naked in real life, in the film they conveniently leave their bra on, or hold up the bed sheet. Seeing someone being choreographed into being covered up irritates me just as much.

She continued: The whole point of Naomi is that her body is her only form of currency in this world. So when Marty [Scorsese] was trying to help me out, and said in the scene where she seduces Jordan perhaps I could have a robe on, I said she wouldn't. She has to be naked. She's laying her cards on the table.The Australian actress got her big break in the 2013 Martin Scorsese film as Naomi Lapaglia, which also starred Leonardo DiCaprio as stockbroker Jordan Belfort.

Speaking at BAFTA: A Life In Pictures With Margot Robbie (via The Mirror), Robbie recalled: “I know this sounds silly now, knowing how big the movie became, but at the time I was like, ‘No one’s gonna notice me in this film. It doesn’t matter what I do in this film because they’re gonna focus on Leo and I’ll just slip under the radar.'”
