I remember the commercial so vividly.”

Someone else from my country did it. Maybe I can too.'” This sentiment highlights the impact of representation and mentorship in shaping her aspirations in the entertainment industry.
Margot Robbie spoke about the significance of the color red in her Chanel No. 5 advertisement, where she stars alongside fellow Australian Jacob Elordi.
