This shouldn’t surprise anyone, but I guess I wasn’t expecting to see Margot Robbie on the June cover of Vogue. Margot is the It Girl, and this is her big year. Everyone’s excited to see what she does with Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad, although she got the Vogue cover more for her role in Tarzan. The Vogue editorial even features Alexander Skarsgard too. And he’s wearing a wet shirt and playing with kittens. Basically, people need to see Tarzan. They will do anything to make sure this film doesn’t bomb. You can see the Vogue slideshow here, and you can read the full profile here. Some highlights:

Growing up in Australia: “Gold Coast in Queensland… I had no idea I was living in a state that gets laughed at until I moved to Melbourne and then someone was like, ‘Ohrrr, yar from Queensland, eh? You put “Eh?” on the end of your sentences because you’re all a bit slow.’ And I was like, ‘Is this a thing? That Queensland is the dumb state?’ It’s so embarrassing.”

Her role in Wolf of Wall Street: “When I first read it, I thought, I have nothing in common with her. I hate her. It was a really tricky one to get my head around. But her motivation was ‘You guys are doing it—why shouldn’t I? It’s this man’s world, and I’m going to get mine.’ And I understand that.”

On Harley Quinn: “She doesn’t even have superpowers. She’s just a psychopath who runs around gleefully killing people—she finds joy in causing mayhem, which makes her weirdly endearing and fun to watch.”

Playing Jane in Tarzan: “There’s no way I was going to play the damsel in distress… [but after reading the script] It just felt very epic and big and magical in some way. I haven’t done a movie like that. The Harry Potter films could have been really cheesy, but David Yates made them into something dark and cool and real – plus it was shooting in London, and I, on a whim, had just signed a lease on a house there.”

On her boyfriend of two years, Tom Ackerley, an assistant director: “I was the ultimate single gal. The idea of relationships made me want to vomit. And then this crept up on me. We were friends for so long. I was always in love with him, but I thought, Oh, he would never love me back. Don’t make it weird, Margot. Don’t be stupid and tell him that you like him. And then it happened, and I was like, Of course we’re together. This makes so much sense, the way nothing has ever made sense before.”

Unlike some celebrities who sort of force the “I’m so normal” image down our throats, I actually buy that Margot is a pretty normal person. She seems… what’s the word? Unaffected, perhaps. Oblivious to the trappings of fame. Mostly I like her because it feels like she’s not trying to convince me of anything. She just IS. She’s herself, she works hard, she’s been lucky, and she’s not going to complain. It’s refreshing.
