Margot Robbie Used to Watch Rachel McAdams’ ‘Notebook’ Audition Before Her Own to ‘Just Try and Be as Good as Her… It’s the Commitment’

Margot Robbie is crediting Rachel McAdams with helping her become an A-list movie star. During a BBC Radio 2 interview on the press tour for “Wuthering Heights,” the “Barbie” actor and three-time Oscar nominee revealed she used to study McAdams’ viral audition for “The Notebook” before her own auditions in order to get into the right headspace.

“I used to watch Rachel McAdams’ audition for ‘The Notebook’ before I would go to auditions. She’s so good, and she’s so charming and real, and like, in it,” Robbie said. “I used to watch it before I’d go to an audition, I was like, ‘OK, just try and be as good as her.’”

When asked if McAdams’ “Notebook” audition actually ever got Robbie to win a role, Robbie answered: “Technically, you could say any part I got would’ve been in thanks to her because I was always watching her audition before. It’s just the commitment. I always watched it to remind myself that you have to fully commit in the audition room. And I got to work with her in ‘About Time.’ I had a small role, and she’s the lead in it. I was absolutely no one back then and she was so lovely to me and my brother. I’ll never forget how she’d go out of her way to be so kind. I just love her.”

McAdams won the role of Allison “Allie” Calhoun in “The Notebook” opposite Ryan Gosling, and the duo’s chemistry helped power the 2004 movie to become one of the most century’s most iconic romance movies. Robbie did not disclose which movies McAdams’ audition tape helped her land, but it sounds like a quite a few.

Robbie and McAdams have both been out on the press circuit this winter promoting their new releases. McAdams is the star of Sam Raimi’s “Send Help,” which has topped the box office in its first two weekend of release. Robbie headlines “Wuthering Heights” opposite Jacob Elordi. The Warner Bros. release opens in theater Feb. 13 and is targeting a No. 1 debut with around $50 million.
