Margot Robbie says she wasn’t crying over Cara Delevingne in those paparazzi photos, ‘they’re just my pictures’
Margot Robbie is in full-on Oscar mode, with her first three movies winning best picture and her fourth, the Hollywood adaptation of the musical Miss Evers’ Boys, earning a nod for costume design and make-up.

“It’s a great shame they would do that to me,” she said. “I don’t even know who they are, but [they’re] taking me out of context. It was a big misunderstanding, I’ve been completely honest with them about it. I don’t want to go into detail about
