## Summary

Margot Robbie says she is hesitant to act in her Australian accent, despite being invited to use it in Kogonada’s film *A Big Bold Beautiful Journey*. She worries she may have forgotten how, and says accents help her hide within a character.

Robbie last used her real accent onscreen in *Neighbours*, which she left in 2011 and later called ideal preparation for Hollywood. Since then, she has generally used American accents in major roles. She told the *Daily Mirror* she considered returning to her Australian accent but decided it felt like too much, adding that she thinks she may be getting closer to trying it again.
