Margot Robbie was concerned that the scene of an orgy would not be allowed to pass through with Margot Robbie as part of the act.

The scene was set rather rough, and the actors started acting crazy.
Margot Robbie said, "But she was like,' Are we allowed to show that? Are we allowed to show that?'
"There were so many scenes where Margot was shocked, and she said," I have no idea how I'm going to do that," and b) are we going to get away with this?

The actress was worried if they were allowed to depict such a scene on screen or, for that matter, many scenes where she was utterly unaware whether it would be demonstrated ultimately.

Margot Robbie had yet to learn how she would be able to depict some critical scenes and, at the same time, whether they would be able to show them to the audience.

Carey Mulligan informed Margot that she watched the movie with her mother, to which Margot joked that everyone should do the same and it would not be awkward.

When quizzed, Brad Pitt, 58, felt that there was far too much buff in the film. The film was written and directed by Damien Chazelle and talked about the era when many actors were affected by the transition from silent to sound in cinema.
