Margot Robbie is hitting pause on social media. The Suicide Squad star, more accustomed to red carpets than Instagram updates, announced in a post, giving fans a quick goodbye. Sharing a snap from the release of Promising Young Woman, the Oscar-nominated actress wrote, “Jumping off social media for the time being – check out @luckychapentertainment if you’re interested in what we’re up to, otherwise ciao for now! 😘.” There is no major drama behind the decision; it is just a clear sign that Margot’s unplugging for a while.
But if you’ve been keeping tabs on her, you might’ve noticed this isn’t a new move for Robbie. The 30-year-old actress has a history of disappearing from the social scene for weeks (sometimes even months). Her last central Instagram post? She shared a handwritten note about Chanel’s Cruise show in early May. “Dreaming of the days when I could jump on a plane + be with my Chanel family,” she wrote. All signs pointed to a more low-key life, with Robbie preferring to stay out of the spotlight when she’s not working.
It’s not like she’s not savvy with social media, though. Robbie once created a fake Twitter account to prepare for her role in Bombshell. She explained the move in a Variety cover story, admitting that she used the account to observe how “young millennial conservative girls” interact online. The dedication to her craft? 100%. “I didn’t understand her to begin with,” Robbie said about her character Kayla, but that didn’t stop her from diving deep into the research to get it right.
