Margot Robbie: Actor Margot Robbie revealed how she convinced Babylon director Damien Chazelle to add a kissing scene between her and Brad Pitt’s characters in the film and how it came about. Babylon is one of the most-awaited films of the year. The film is set in 1920s Hollywood and the chaotic world of debauchery and unbridled ambitions in the industry. The film trailer has already received rave reactions. During an interview recently, Robbie opened up about one of the film’s crucial scenes.
Margot spilled the beans on a scene which involves a kiss between her and Brad Pitt’s characters. The Barbie star surprised everyone when she said that the kissing scene was actually improvised on set.
It wasn’t the script
When asked about how the scene in Babylon came along, Margot said, “That wasn’t in the script.” She further added, “but I thought, ‘When else am I gonna get the chance to kiss Brad Pitt? I’m just gonna go for it.'” She revealed how the kiss scene “was just great” and also admitted that she had to convince director Damien Chazelle in order to make it happen.
Revealing her conversation with the director about her Brad Pitt kiss, she said, “I said, ‘Damien, I think Nellie would just go up and kiss Jack, And Damien was like, ‘Well, she could—wait, hold on. You just wanna kiss Brad Pitt.’ And I was like, ‘Oh, so sue me. This opportunity might never come up again.’ And he was like, ‘It does work for the character,’ and I was like, ‘I think so.'”
