Margot Robbie improvised a “Babylon” kiss scene with Brad Pitt: “Sue Me”

Margot Robbie follows in the footsteps of 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' co-star Lena Dunham on the red carpet by giving a surprise kiss to Brad Pitt.

Robbie stars alongside Pitt in Damien Chazelle's 'Babylon', and revealed she really relied on the character's spontaneity...and, of course, exploited it to kiss the movie star iconic Pitt.

"It wasn't in the script," Robbie said, "but I was like, 'When else will I get the chance to kiss Brad Pitt?' I'm just going to go.'"

Although Robbie said the kiss was "awesome", she had to convince director Chazelle to let her go at the time.

"I said, 'Damien, I think Nellie would just go kiss Jack,'" the 'Wolf of Wall Street' alum said. "And Damien was like, 'Well, she could – wait, wait. You just want to kiss Brad Pitt. And I was like, "Oh, so sue me." This opportunity may never come again." Related Related

After the first take, Chazelle asked, "No, do it again. It really works," to which Robbie joked, "I was like, 'Oh, great.'"

Robbie and Pitt starred in Quentin Tarantino's Oscar-winning 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood', but the duo hadn't shared scenes before 'Babylon'. Robbie also noted that she also kissed fellow actress Katherine Waterston for the film, but was unsure if he did the final cut.

The determined mayhem of Robbie's budding starlet Nellie LaRoy is part of what brought her to the film. "Terrified and excited" by the script, Robbie based her fictional character in part on Clara Bow and said that although she loved Nelly "so much", as she explained at the film's first screening at the Academy . “She is so exhausting. She took everything from me. I had written on the front of my screenplay: “Always demand their full attention. She did it to me. She demanded everything physically and emotionally.”

Robbie's role caught the Australian actress's attention at the start of awards season, with fellow actor Eric Roberts comparing her performance to that of Elizabeth Taylor in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" /p>

"I'll also tell you that Margot Robbie is going to win an Oscar for this," Roberts said. "She gives the most incredible performance in 'Babylon' that I have ever seen. She blew my mind. I couldn't believe how brilliant she was every minute of every day. “
