‘It’s Annoying’: Leonardo DiCaprio Feels Frustrated By Margot Robbie’s Success With Barbie
Leonardo DiCaprio felt overshadowed by former co-star Margot Robbie's recent success and grew frustrated, believing his film Killers of the Flower Moon did not receive the credit it deserved.
A famous quote goes, "Success is not owned; it is rented, and that rent is due every day." In an industry like Hollywood, it was even harder to retain success and stay relevant, especially when an actor who was once a friend turned into your direct competitor.
This was the case for Leonardo DiCaprio and Margot Robbie, who were co-stars ten years ago in The Wolf of Wall Street, becoming the biggest direct competitors in 2023. The irony wasn’t lost on him, especially considering Barbie's massive success, which took home most of the big awards last year.
Another insider mentioned that, while Barbie has been a huge draw for bringing audiences back to theaters, it's not the type of film Leo prefers to work on. He believed it was highly overrated.

The duo was seen in 2013’s The Wolf of Wall Street, which was Robbie's breakout movie. They reunited in 2019’s Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood. While promoting the latter film, the A-listers expressed their mutual admiration for each other.
Furthermore, Robbie always spoke highly of the actor, saying, “I couldn’t believe it happened the first time. Then, when I went to work with Leo again, it was kind of ridiculous.” In a separate interview, she referred to Leo as an “incredible actor,” and admitted that he’s also a “really awesome” person.
Unfortunately, starring in opposing movies later in their careers has seemingly taken a toll. Nevertheless, while both actor are busy with their upcoming flicks, we have to see them reunite for a script yet again and put an end to the ongoing flame.
