Margot Robbie says a co-star once gave her a book telling her to 'eat less'

Margot Robbie said a male actor once gave her a book telling her to "eat less." She described the incident as happening "very, very early in my career" during a video interview with her Wuthering Heights collaborator Charli XCX for Complex.

The book she referenced appears to be Mireille Guiliano’s French Women Don’t Get Fat: The Secret of Eating for Pleasure, published in 2007. Robbie said the gift felt like a message that she should lose weight and recalled, "And I was like, 'Whoa, f–k you, dude.'" She added she did not know what became of the actor, calling it "really back in the day."

Charli quipped about the actor, "Your career's over, babe."

Robbie has also been noted for her fashion on the Wuthering Heights press tour. At the UK premiere she wore a bracelet modeled on a 175-year-old mourning bracelet once owned by Charlotte Brontë, fashioned from the hair of Emily and Anne Brontë after their deaths five months apart, in December 1848 and May 1849.
