Leonardo DiCaprio seems to just put another name on his list of competitors. Margot Robbie was once a well-liked co-star of the actor. However, after her recent success in the Barbie movie, DiCaprio now sees her as a threat. Barbie was so big that it even overshadowed Leo’s Killers of the Flower Moon film. Not only has Margot gained an incredible amount of recognition, but she has also boosted her net worth to over $50 million.
Per The Things, Leo now sees Margot as a competitor as he reportedly feels threatened by her. Robbie has gone from being Leo’s discovery and prodigy 10 years ago to now being his biggest threat in 2024. Although DiCaprio was happy that Barbie got fans back into the theaters, it is not the kind of movie he likes to make. Leo thought it was “massively overrated.”
Leonardo DiCaprio Is Threatened by Margot Robbie
“It was especially frustrating after the years of work [they] put into the movie, which got buried and nothing near the credit [Leo] felt it deserved,” the source went on. “So it’s annoying that people are constantly asking him about Barbie.”
Leonardo DiCaprio never thought that Margot Robbie would be a threat come awards time. However, his worst nightmare has come true as Robbie is very much a threat to DiCaprio.
The Barbie movie was absolutely massive for Margot Robbie. The actress made $12.5 million just for being the starring role. However, the rest of her profits came from being the lead producer. Now, Robbie can continue making her mark on Hollywood from both behind and in front of the camera.
Margot Robbie is truly a huge threat to many massive Hollywood stars, especially Leonardo DiCaprio. Learning from him and then using his tricks against him is truly a genius move. The sky’s the limit for Robbie as she continues her career.
