Margot Robbie has revealed how she was influenced by Rita Oras accent for her new role in noir thriller Terminal.
A friend of mine, Rita Ora, I think has a lovely accent so I pulled a bit of reference from her voice, Margot tells Metro.co.uk.
When youre picking an accent, I need to find someone where I can google a lot of their interviews or sometimes I find people who have blogs or whatever so you can hear them talking a lot. Theres a bit of Rita in [this film]. Shes got such a good accent, I love it.
Margots new film Terminal sees her alongside Simon Pegg and Mile Myers in the crime thriller which follows intertwining stories with murderous consequences.
The film is incredibly stylised – a trait which seems to follow Margot throughout her filmography from Suicide Squad and I Tonya to Focus.

Its probably just me gravitating towards the stuff I like, she admits.
It wasnt a conscious choice but I think that just ends up exciting me the most. I love stylised films, I love Wes Anderson films that are so specifically stylised, or Tarantino or Scorsese.
When you watch a movie and youre like “I know the film maker that made this because its just got its thing”. It seems like a bold choice, a brave choice and I like that.
The actress has in recent years also turned her hand to producing and writing movies; her company Lucky Chap Productions has already helped produce Oscar-nominated film I, Tonya.
But Margot has no time for critics who have complained that political correctness has seen the conversation shift too far towards female film makers.
I would say that 52% of the box office sales come from women so we should have 52% of the content being female driven if were talking strictly in numbers, she says.
But aside from that, I kind of…you relate to what you see on screen. Thats not to say I dont relate to male characters that I watch in movies.

Some of my favourite films are male driven and I still find a way to relate to them and I love them, and I dont see why that should stop guys enjoying [female-driven] of films as well.
