Margot’s extremely famous (obviously), so it stands to follow that she’s a bit secretive when it comes to making her personal life public. To wit: We still don’t know her child’s name, and she only first mentioned them in interviews earlier this summer.
In a new interview with British Vogue, Margot explained that the decision to keep her family life — especially her child’s life — private is owed to “new boundaries” she’s set after becoming a parent.
“I’m trying to keep that side of things private and protect him,” she explained. “Earlier in my career, I’d speak more freely in interviews. I’ve just been burnt so many times, when people have taken what I’ve said out of context. And I read stuff all the time where people put me in quotation marks saying things I’ve never said.”
Margot then recalled the first time she saw herself misquoted in the press. “I could not get my head around it,” she said. “I was like, ‘They just made it up?’ There was no way for me to change or control it. I just had to accept that.”
“When you shift from your 20s to your 30s and beyond, you think, ‘I am going to do things differently. Here are my new boundaries.’”
