You Would Never Believe What Surprised Margot Robbie The Most About US
America can surprise anyone coming from another country, but what was Margot Robbie's most exciting revelation?
Red Solo cups of all things. In a recent interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the actress shares her fascination with the United States of America and talks about how the country ends up being just "like in the movies."
The thing that she was most excited about when she first got there was... the red Solo cup phenomenon at parties.
Apparently, her Australian friends have the same obsession and even asked Margot to bring some red Solo cups back to Australia.
Robbie recalls filling up "half the suitcase" with them on a flight back home. Imagine explaining that to airport security!
The actress says that the cups are very popular in her country and are considered to be one of the American party's essential attributes. Maybe the Solo Cup Company should think about exporting them worldwide?
Besides the cups, the star mentions how surprised she was that there are actually "grates on the sidewalk", yellow cabs, and people who get mad if you walk slowly.
We are not sure if that last one is a good thing to take from movies to reality, but at least Margot is happy about it!
When you think about it, American movies do feed the American dream fantasy pretty well.
All the clichés are ingrained in our minds, and we subtly expect them to be true in real life as well and are eventually disappointed if and when they are not. Is that healthy?
Probably not, but good cinema is good cinema.
The question is – do all those romantic airport scenes also exist in reality? Are they not just a figment of our collective imagination?
We are going to catch a flight (any flight) tomorrow, and God help us if someone tall, dark, and handsome does not stop us to land a passionate kiss before the credits start rolling…
