Margot Robbie is one of Australia’s most successful acting exports.
And on Tuesday, the actress, 29, revealed the moment she realised she had made it as an actress in a virtual visit to the Queensland Children’s Hospital.
She appeared as part of the hospital’s live stream program on Facebook called JuicedTV and answered questions from some of her biggest fans.

The two-time Academy Award nominated star was asked about the moment she realised she had made it as an actor.
She recalled: ‘One day when I moved to America and I was in Times Square in New York City and there was a giant billboard of a TV show that I was shooting.
‘And I was eight feet tall, on a billboard in Time Square, and I thought, “Wow, I think I’ve made it,”‘ Margot added.
The show she was likely referring to was her first break in the drama Pan Am – based on Pan American World Airways – where she starred alongside Christina Ricci.
