Having been lured to Texas’ giant plains by the promise of a new life, his family’s dreams had died, along with their crops. It was all too much for his father, who left Eugene and his mother Olivia ( Better Call Saul’s Kerry Condon) when the former was just five.

Speaking about the stratospheric rise of his star, Aussie Margot Robbie, Dreamland director Miles Joris-Peyrafitte says of the big bang of her arrival: “I mean, Martin Scorsese really shot her out of a cannon. It was like, ‘whoa, who is the biggest movie star now? Oh, it’s you’.” And it does feel that way. There Robbie was, stealing The Wolf of Wall Street out from under Leo DiCaprio and then BOOM, she was taking over Hollywood. And not just in front of the camera either.
