Actors Who Refused To Get Ripped For Roles

2016 was a pivotal year in Margot Robbie's career, as she followed up her breakthrough performances in "The Wolf of Wall Street" and "Focus" years before with a year full of blockbuster films. Along with a hosting stint on "Saturday Night Live," Robbie appeared in "Suicide Squad," "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot," and, notably, "The Legend of Tarzan," in which she played the Jane to Alexander Skarsgård's Tarzan.

Before Robbie transitioned to producing movies, she was already taking charge of her characters and how they'd be portrayed in films like "'The Legend of Tarzan." Robbie was adamant that she didn't want this film's use of Jane to be as a damsel in distress, as the character has often appeared in past "Tarzan" adaptations. She also said that she felt there was no point in the character being as stripped-down as Skarsgård's character and that she was thankful for the rare opportunity to wear more clothes than her co-star.

Robbie said these changes meant she didn't see a point in slimming down or getting fit for the role. This must have been a relief to her, as she told Australia's TV Week (via LADBible), "It was my first time living in London properly and I wanted to try every pub." Skarsgård, on the other hand, trained for eight months to get in shape for "The Legend of Tarzan," so Robbie was smart to avoid similar preparation for a less demanding role — especially when she had to train extensively for "Suicide Squad."
