"I, Tonya" star Margot Robbie has revealed her family wanted her to quit acting and "get a real job".
The 27-year-old actor said initially her family could not quite get behind her artistic aspirations as a serious career because none of them had been exposed to the entertainment industry before.

"They're impressed for five seconds, and then they're (like) 'So anyway, the dog threw up today.
