Margot Robbie has revealed that she listens to the theme music from Titanic to make her cry on set.
Speaking in a forthcoming episode of the Talking Pictures: A Movie Memories podcast which is set to drop this Saturday (November 26), the Barbie star also said she used the same technique once on the set of The Wolf Of Wall Street with her co-star Leonardo DiCaprio, who played the lead role in the 1997 movie.
At the time his Titanic co-star Kate Winslet was also on the set of the Martin Scorsese movie.
“On The Wolf Of Wall Street, there was the big, crazy scene after I ask for a divorce and stuff. And Kate Winslet came to visit set, to visit Leo [DiCaprio] that day,” Robbie said.

“I was in the room next to them, listening to the Titanic soundtrack trying to stay in sad, teary mode. And then I saw Kate Winslet and Leo walk past. It was very surreal.”
The original theme and soundtrack was composed by James Horner and was also used in Celine Dion‘s ‘My Heart Will Go On’ in the film, which picked up an Oscar for best original song.
Robbie added: “I can even just hear the theme music of Titanic, and I’ll be bawling. And so that’s what I do on set if I need to cry in a scene.”
Last week, it was revealed that Robbie had given birth to her first baby with her husband and film producer Tom Ackerley.
Elsewhere, it was recently announced that Robbie and Jacob Elordi are set to star in Emerald Fennell’s adaptation of Wuthering Heights, which is currently in pre-production and will begin filming in the UK next year.
Robbie had previously praised Fennell’s directorial skills, saying in an interview in January: “Emerald immerses you into a world so quickly. She’s so masterful at tone and plot.
“She gets in your brain and she kind of taps into the most depraved parts of it, so that you’re complicit in the story. That’s the watercooler moment – the thing that people are talking about two weeks afterwards.”
