Filming of "Babylon"
Margot Robbie was so eager to kiss Brad Pitt that she slipped a scene into the script
Margot Robbie kissed Brad Pitt on the set of Babylon. Here together in Cannes for “Once upon a time in Hollywood”.
Margot Robbie and Brad Pitt kiss in the Hollywood movie Babylon. The scene has already been the subject of much discussion, although it really shouldn't have existed at all. Robbie had improvised the scene, as she now reveals.
Actress Margot Robbie saw the opportunity and took it. While she was filming "Babylon," she grabbed her colleague Brad Pitt and kissed him, even though that wasn't originally in the script. "It wasn't in the script," she admitted to E! News. "But I was like, 'When else am I going to get a chance to kiss Brad Pitt? I'll just do it.'”
Robbie plays the young aspiring actress Nelly in "Babylon." Veteran actor Jack, played by Brad Pitt, and Manny (Diego Calva), also a newcomer, are tasked with helping her rise to the top and guide her to stardom in Hollywood's golden age of the 1920s. Perfect initial for Robbie to make out with Pitt. So she said that she practically persuaded director Damien Chazelle, who also made La La Land, to add a kissing scene afterwards. She went to Chazelle and told her that it would make sense for Nelly to kiss Jack.
But the director smelled the roast right away. “Damien said, ‘Well, she could…wait, wait. You just want to kiss Brad Pitt,'" Robbie said. She then openly admitted as much and jokingly replied, "Oh, sue me." But Chazelle was still convinced and she repeated the scene with the kiss as an extra. Robbie improvised. In an interview, she described the kiss as "just great."
In fact, co-star Pitt isn't the only one who has enjoyed making out with Margot Robbie. In the interview, he also revealed that she had kissed a colleague. “I also have Katherine [Waterston] kissed,” she said. However, she didn't know if that kiss was recorded.
The Hollywood strip “Babylon – Rush of Ecstasy” is already highly anticipated by movie fans. This is partly due to the alignment of stars. In addition to Margot Robbie and Brad Pitt, it will also feature Toby Maguire and Olivia Wilde. In Germany, the film is scheduled to hit theaters on January 19.
