Australian actress Bojana Novakovic reveals why she would never do a soap opera 

Bojana Novakovic has made a name for herself in Hollywood, starring alongside superstar Margot Robbie in the hit feature films I, Tonya and Birds Of Prey. 

And the Australian actress, 40, has revealed that she would never appear in a soap opera – despite working with former Neighbours star Margot, 31, twice.   

‘She also did Neighbours with my sister [Valentina Novakovic] but my whole thing was like, I’m not touching soap operas; I am a trained NIDA actor,’ Bojana told Stellar Magazine on Saturday.

‘And then you look at all their careers and they’re all flourishing superstars around the world. But I was a real theatre snob when I was younger’ she added. 

Bojana will next be seen in new Australian drama series Love Me, which will stream on Binge, as Clara. 

She added that she feels many Australian stars have to go to America to forge careers before they can find work back home.

‘This is why we go to the States – so then we can come back and be taken seriously. It’s a shame that that has to happen. But this show is why I went to the US: so that I could develop a name for myself,’ she said. 

Bojana appeared in 2017’s  I, Tonya as Dody Teachman and Erika in 2020’s Birds of Prey. 

Additionally, she has starred in the TV series’ Westworld and MacGyver, and hit horror feature film Drag Me to Hell.

In 2015, she was linked to Keanu Reeves when the pair, who co-starred in 2012’s Generation Um, were spotted having a cosy dinner date. 

In 2013, it was revealed the stunner was dating How I Met Your Mother actor Jason Segel.

After less than a year together, however, the couple ended their relationship, according to Us Weekly.
