Margot Robbie has revealed she used Twitter to better understand the mindset of Republican women while researching her role in Bombshell.

The 29-year-old actress told E! News at the Golden Globes on Sunday that Twitter was a useful way to 'hear what young, conservative, millennial girls were thinking'.

In Bombshell, Margot plays Kayla Pospisil, a fictional employee at Fox News.

Margot said: 'Kayla and my political point of views are different.'

But despite her views not aligning with those of her character, Margot said she did not feel frustrated during filming but instead welcomed the challenge.

'You have to come around to how they see the world. It takes a minute, and it clicks and then they suddenly feel like a real person,' she said.

Margot has previously admitted to creating a right wing Twitter account in order to more authentically embody her character.

'I didn't grow up watching Fox News, and I didn't grow up in the same place as her,' she told EW in December.

'I was struggling to understand that point of view for a while, and Twitter ended up being the most useful tool, because people are extremely vocal on Twitter.'

In Bombshell, Margot's character represents many of the Fox News staff who came forward to accuse the late CEO Roger Ailes of sexual harassment and misconduct.

'Some of the specifics you see in scenes with her are taken from real-life interactions those women experienced,' said the former Neighbours star.

Bombshell also stars Nicole Kidman, Charlize Theron and John Lithgow.
