Nicole ! Charlize ! Robbie ! #Wmagazine#Bombshell.

‘Bombshell tells the real story of Fox news Roger Ailes’ downfall through the experiences of three women: the whistle-blower, Gretchen Carlson (played by Nicole Kidman); the increasingly outspoken anchor, Megyn Kelly (played by Charlize Theron); and a true believer composite character named Kayla (played by Margot Robbie), who aims to scale the corporate ladder….from W magazine.

“I want to hate Roger Ailes but, as with all interesting and intense people, his personality is much harder to navigate. His need for power became a kind of malignancy that the women had to overcome. Ailes wanted blind loyalty, and the first ones to say no were Carlson and Kelly. In playing Kelly, I kept thinking, Why do we let these very egocentric men run our lives? This film is, hopefully, like taking medicine: It doesn’t answer every question, and it isn’t the cure, but hopefully it does speed the process of change.” Charlize Theron.

“I loved when Megyn took it to Trump. I admired her sharpness, her wit. She was fearless. But when my production company received the script for Bombshell, I was conflicted about playing her. I personally felt uncomfortable with some of the stuff that she’s said. But ultimately, I understood her strength and ambition. Megyn herself says, ‘I know I’m tough’—and that’s something I’ve heard about myself. People told Megyn she had sharp elbows, that she was hard. I’ve had people judge me and say the same things about me” Charlize Theron

“I love the nuance of that in our film: We don’t tell the story of the perfect victims of Fox. We try to tell the story of the messy, emotional dynamics between boss and employee. In Bombshell, our monsters don’t always look like monsters, which is how it is in real life.” Charlize Theron

“I liked that our story is a study of how women relate to a toxic environment. We want to tell complicated stories about women, and that’s very difficult. The world likes clear-cut winners and losers, abusers and victims, but reality is not that simple. And I must say, I liked putting on the Gretchen dresses. It was like wearing a suit of armour. I’m allowed to like hot pink!” Nicole Kidman

“I did rebel against the Fox dress code,” she says. “I would not put on nude hose. I said, ‘No one my age or younger would wear nude hose,’ so I said no. Do you think Roger would have fired me? Margot Robbie
