In 2011, Margot Robbie used her real accent onscreen for the last time. 15 years later, she’s scared to try

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.
