Wait, you mean to tell me that the beautiful woman that you are talking to online could actually be a marketing team that is creating the idealized image of said woman designed specifically as a commercial product, like some kind of movie about a plastic doll, Barbie, now available on Blu-ray and select streaming services?
Who would do such a thing?
But you’re still really Margot Robbie, right?
Of course I am.
Would esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress and producer Margot Robbie ever lie to you on the Internet?
No. No she would not.
Exactly.
I would know, because sometimes, I play her on TV.
Hello Academy Award winning character actress Margot Robbie.
Have you forgotten that you were not only nominated, but also won in the past?
I would have, if they named the movie "It's Hardin' Time" like I wanted, but nooo, "Nobody would get that reference, and what do you mean you want your character to 'Tonya Harding all over Nancy Kerrigan'?"
I could have sworn you received an oscar for your performance in the 2018 masterpiece "The Hardening", but I guess my memory has played me.
I consider this my "Mandela-Effect" moment.

...wait a minute, Margot Robbie's not a character actress! Or maybe she's like Brad Pitt, a character actress trapped in a lead's body.
Even in 80s movies there were parodies in this. Grannies sitting in a call center, knitting while answering phones with "Hello, I'm Bambi. My cup size is ..."
The Far Side also did a comic on this where the old gal was stuffing her turkey (with sage). 😂
That is what I call dedication
But still not dedicated enough to get a Best Actress Oscar nomination this year...
