Star of the 2000s, Jaime Pressly appears in the media more often these days as a sort of Margot Robbie lookalike. The actresses are so similar that fans have come to theorize that they are the same person. However, while Margot plays a leading role in successful films, Jaime gets more supporting roles in series.
O awesome.club analyzed why these two spectacular women, so similar in many ways, had such different fates.
the road to fame
At age 20, Jaime, then a highly sought after model, was invited to star in the thriller Indecent Relationship 3 β The New Seductionπ§π· After the film’s debut and success, the film company New Line Cinema signed her for three series at the same time. In the following years, the actress starred in Mortal Kombat: The Conquestπ§π· Jack & Jill and an independent project called Poor White Trashπ§π·
Australian Margot Robbie’s path to fame started more tortuously. Her parents divorced and her mother, who was left with four children, had a difficult time. The girl has worked since the age of 10, and by the age of 16, she already had three jobs. Margot saved because she wanted to move to Melbourne and to invest in acting classes. And the effort paid off: at the age of 17, the young woman began to receive sporadic roles; at age 18, she acted in the series Neighbors and quickly became the main character. But she wanted more. Margot decided to conquer Hollywood.
But things didn’t go well in the “dream factory”. At first, the Australian did not pass the audition for the role of Abby Simpson in The Panthersπ§π· Then got a job on the series Pan Am (2011-2012), which was suspended after the first season due to low ratings.
At the height of success
At the turn of the millennium, Jaime Pressly became a real celebrity. She appeared in many cinematographic works, including famous films such as Not Another American Bullshitplaying Priscilla, the school’s evil cheerleader and Fury on two wheels, acting as a motorcycle rider. In the 2000s, Jaime could often be seen on the covers of men’s magazines. Boldly and defiantly beautiful, she became a true icon of the decade.

However, in the mid-2000s, Jaime began to become disillusioned with his profession. βI questioned whether this was the path I wanted to continue on. I was tired of living traveling, coming and going all the time. I wanted some normalcy in life,β he said in an interview.
At that point, Jaime was offered a role in the series My name is Earlπ§π· She played Joy Turner, the cynical and charming wife of the protagonist. Her performance was a success. If before filming this show, she could be considered just another beautiful actress, after the release, it was clear that she was a true comedy diva.
For her role as Joy, Jaime was nominated for a Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award, and in 2007, she received an Emmy. The beauty considered this work her greatest achievement. Her success as a comedy actress was cemented by the film I love you man, which grossed $92 million at the box office.

Margot Robbie’s career soared after the release of the wolf of Wall Street in 2013. The young actress turned out to be a real celebrity. Three years later, at the height of her career, she played Harley Quinn (Harley Quinn) in the movie Suicide squadπ§π· Since then, the diva’s popularity has only gained strength and roles are becoming more complex and diverse. She has Oscar, Golden Globe and BAFTA nominations. In 2017, she was listed by Time magazine as one of the most influential people in the world.
On the other hand, Jaime Pressly’s career began to decline. Ironically, this started in the 2010s, just when Margot was on the rise. The older βtwinβ now only got roles in shows like Teenage Daughter, Desperate Motherπ§π· Jennifer Falls and mommyπ§π·
What went wrong?
Undoubtedly Jaime is beautiful, undeniably talented and capable. So what stopped her from becoming a successful Hollywood celebrity? Probably the fact that she never dreamed of being an actress. From childhood, she pursued a career as a model, while Margot did everything she could to directly enter the world of cinema.
Producers saw her more as a model; so they offered her appropriate roles: less acting, more body and face. However, she managed to convince everyone that she deserved more. Margot, on the other hand, initially wanted to be recognized for her dramatic talent, not just her looks. The proof of that was her acting in the movie. me, Tonyain which it became almost unrecognizable.
Jaime admits that he always dreamed of being a mother. βIt’s the one thing that’s been consistent throughout my life and it’s always been a goal for me,β she said in an interview. And even her most successful performance, playing Joy in the series My name is Earl, it was a step designed for motherhood, and not for the world of cinema. βThat’s what I worked so hard for. I wanted to make sure I could support myself and my kids.β
Jaime now has three children. The eldest, Dezi James Calvo, was born in 2007. Ten years later, the model gave birth to twins: Leo and Lenon Hijazi. She focused entirely on motherhood and her film career took a back seat. The actress is content with sporadic roles and apparently that suits her. She, by the way, admitted to being a fan of films with Margot Robbie. “I think she’s great… I loved everything she did”, said the actress about her “double”.
