Margaret Qualley Shares Her Real Name Revealed!

Margaret Qualley is a model-turned dancer-turned actress, who has taken Hollywood by storm.

But while she has solidified herself as a household name after starring in the likes of The Substance and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, she goes by a different name when she goes home.

As she starred as the latest cover girl for Vanity Fair, Margaret revealed her real name is Sarah and when she goes back home to the States, her closest friends and family still refer to her by her moniker.

Margaret previously revealed to i-D that her modelling agency made her choose between the two names at 16.

She told the publication that while she would have loved to bring it back, she 'doesn't want to be the person that changes their name', after decades of success in the industry.

Elsewhere in her chat, Margaret reflected on making mistakes throughout her career.

She told Vanity Fair: 'I'm super competitive with myself, and I'm very driven.

'I have learned the lesson of my eyes being too big for my stomach professionally. That means taking all the opportunities I can get and then crashing and feeling like I have a schedule I can't keep up with.

'When I say mistakes, I don't mean it was the wrong thing, I mean I wouldn't do it again.'

Her cover with the magazine comes after she revealed she's been in therapy since the age of 16.

Speaking to Cosmopolitan, she said: 'I've been in therapy since I was 16. In my early 20s, I had severe insomnia that got in the way of a lot.

'I would be awake until 9 in the morning and just begging for sleep.

Margaret also recalled missing the Cannes Film Festival for one of her earliest roles in The Nice Guys due to her insomnia.

She added: 'One of the first movies I did was The Nice Guys.

'It premiered at Cannes, and I didn't go to Cannes because I hadn't slept in four days and I felt like I wasn't going to survive.'

The actress, who now meditates twice a day, admitted she still feels deeply connected to the version of herself she was as a child. 

But she said growing up as a woman has made her question how much of her identity is truly her own, and how much is shaped by societal pressure and expectation.
