Margot Elise Robbie (/ˈmɑːrɡoʊ ˈrɒbi/ MAR-goh ROB-ee; born 2 July 1990) is an Australian actress and producer. Known for her work in both blockbuster and independent films, her accolades include nominations for three Academy Awards, four Golden Globe Awards and six BAFTA Awards. Time named Robbie one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2017, and Forbes named her the world's highest-paid actress in 2023.

Key Information

Born and raised in Queensland, Robbie began her career in 2008 on the television series Neighbours, on which she was a regular until 2011. After moving to the United States, she led the television series Pan Am (2011–2012) and had her breakthrough in 2013 with Martin Scorsese's black comedy film The Wolf of Wall Street. She achieved wider recognition with starring roles as Jane Porter in The Legend of Tarzan (2016), and as Harley Quinn in the DC Extended Universe (2016–2021).

Robbie received critical acclaim and a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress for her portrayal of figure skater Tonya Harding in the biopic I, Tonya (2017). This acclaim continued for her performances as Queen Elizabeth I in Mary Queen of Scots (2018), Sharon Tate in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019), and a Fox News employee in Bombshell (2019). The last of these earned her a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. Robbie has since starred as an aspiring actress in the period film Babylon (2022) and the titular fashion doll in the fantasy comedy Barbie (2023), which emerged as her highest-grossing release and, as its producer, earned her a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Picture.

Robbie and her husband, filmmaker Tom Ackerley, co-founded the production company LuckyChap Entertainment in 2014, under which they have produced several films, including I, Tonya, Promising Young Woman (2020), Barbie, and Saltburn (2023), as well as the Hulu series Dollface (2019–2022) and the Netflix miniseries Maid (2021).

Early life and education

[edit]

Margot Elise Robbie was born on 2 July 1990 in Dalby, Queensland, to Doug Robbie, a former farm-owner and sugarcane tycoon, and Sarie Kessler, a physiotherapist.[1][2][3] She is the second youngest of four; older siblings Anya and Lachlan and younger brother Cameron.[4][5] Her parents separated when she was five.[6] Robbie and her siblings were raised by their single mother and had minimal contact with their father. The family spent the majority of Robbie's upbringing on her grandparents' Currumbin Valley farm[7] in the Gold Coast hinterland.[8][9] As a child, Robbie often put on shows at home.[10]

Her mother enrolled her in a circus school, where she excelled in trapeze, in which she received a certificate at age eight.[11] In high school, Robbie studied drama at Somerset College.[12] As a teenager, she worked three jobs: she tended a bar, cleaned houses, and worked at Subway.[13][14] After graduation, with a few commercials and independent thriller films on her résumé, Robbie relocated to Melbourne to begin acting professionally.[15]

2008–2012: Early work and Neighbours

[edit]
Robbie at the 2011 Logie Awards

Robbie's first acting roles came when she was in high school. She starred in two low-budget independent thriller films, called Vigilante and I.C.U., both released years later. She described the experience of being on a film set as "a dream come true".[16] She made her television debut in a 2008 guest role as Caitlin Brentford in the drama series City Homicide and followed this with a two-episode arc in the children's television series The Elephant Princess, in which she starred alongside Liam Hemsworth.[17]

With agent encouragement at the time and as Robbie recalled on The Graham Norton Show,[18] she called FremantleMedia on a daily basis. "One day, I got put through by accident to the casting director for Neighbours," and she said, "I'm in town working on something." The casting director asked how old she was, and she responded "seventeen". She was told, "We're looking for exactly that, come in and audition"[18] for the television soap opera Neighbours. In June 2008, she began playing Donna Freedman, a role that was meant to be a guest character, but Robbie was promoted to the regular cast after she made her debut.[19] In her three-year stint on the soap, she received two Logie Award nominations.[20]

Shortly after arriving in America, Robbie landed the role of Laura Cameron, a newly trained flight attendant in the period drama series Pan Am (2011). The series premiered to high ratings and positive reviews but was cancelled after one season due to falling ratings.[21][22]

2013–2015: Breakthrough

[edit]

Robbie next appeared in Richard Curtis' romantic comedy About Time (2013), co-starring Domhnall Gleeson and Rachel McAdams. It tells the story of a young man with the ability to time travel who tries to change his past in hopes of improving his future. To play Gleeson's unattainable teenage love interest, she adopted a British accent.[23] The film was a modest commercial success.[24] Robbie's breakthrough came the same year with the role of Naomi Lapaglia, the wife of protagonist Jordan Belfort, in Martin Scorsese's biographical black comedy The Wolf of Wall Street. In her audition for the role, Robbie improvised a slap on co-star Leonardo DiCaprio during a fight scene which ultimately won her the part.[25] The film and her performance received positive reviews; she was particularly praised for her on-screen Brooklyn accent.[26] Critic Sasha Stone wrote of Robbie's performance, "She's Scorsese's best blonde bombshell discovery since Cathy Moriarty in Raging Bull. Robbie is funny, hard and kills every scene she's in."[27] The Wolf of Wall Street was a box office success, grossing $392 million worldwide, making it Scorsese's highest-grossing film to date.[28] Robbie was nominated for the MTV Movie Award for Best Breakthrough Performance and won the Empire Award for Best Newcomer.[29]

Robbie at the 2015 San Diego Comic-Con

She later said that the fame and attention the movie brought her led her to consider quitting acting, but her mother was philosophical about her profession and explained to her that it was probably too late to quit. She fully understood and stuck with it.[30] With the aim to produce more female-driven projects, Robbie and her future husband, Tom Ackerley, and their respective longtime friends Sophia Kerr and Josey McNamara, started their own production company LuckyChap Entertainment. The company was founded in 2014, and its name was inspired by Charlie Chaplin.[6]

Robbie appeared in four films released in 2015. The first of these was opposite Will Smith in Glenn Ficarra and John Requa's $158.8 million-grossing romantic comedy-drama film Focus. In the film, she played an inexperienced grifter learning the craft from Smith's character; she learned how to pickpocket from Apollo Robbins for the role.[31][32] Reviews of the film were generally mixed, but Robbie's performance was praised; Peter Travers of Rolling Stone wrote, "Robbie is wow and then some. Even when Focus fumbles, [she] deals a winning hand."[33] She was nominated for the Rising Star Award at the 68th British Academy Film Awards.[34] Her next appearance was alongside Michelle Williams and Kristin Scott Thomas in Saul Dibb's war romantic drama Suite Française, a film based on the second part of Irène Némirovsky's 2004 novel of the same name. In the film, she played a woman falling for a German soldier during the German occupation of France during World War II, a role which Leslie Felperin of The Hollywood Reporter found "underwritten".[35]

She followed this with Craig Zobel's post-apocalyptic drama Z for Zachariah opposite Chris Pine and Chiwetel Ejiofor, in her first leading role. Partially based on Robert C. O'Brien's book of the same name, the film follows Ann Burden (Robbie) as she finds herself in an emotionally charged love triangle with the last known survivors of a nuclear disaster that wipes out most of civilisation. In preparation for the film, Robbie dyed her hair brown and learned to speak in an Appalachian accent.[36] The film received positive reviews, and Robbie's performance was widely praised, with Drew McWeeny of HitFix asserting that "Robbie's work here establishes her as one of the very best actresses in her age range today."[37][38] Her fourth release of 2015 was a cameo appearance in Adam McKay's comedy-drama The Big Short, in which she breaks the fourth wall to explain subprime mortgages while in a bathtub. The Big Short was a commercial and critical success and Robbie's cameo became a trending topic six years later, in the wake of the GameStop short squeeze, as her explanation provided reference points for what was happening with the GameStop and related stocks.[39]

2016–2018: Worldwide recognition

[edit]

In 2016, Robbie reunited with Ficarra and Requa, playing a British war correspondent in the film adaptation of The Taliban Shuffle, called Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, co-starring Tina Fey and Martin Freeman.[40][41] Later that year, Robbie took on the part of Jane Porter in David Yates's adventure film The Legend of Tarzan. She was adamant about not losing weight and ensuring the role was not a damsel in distress like in previous Tarzan adaptations.[42] Reviews of the film were generally unfavourable,[43] but Manohla Dargis of The New York Times credited Robbie for "holding her own" in her supporting role alongside the all-male cast with Alexander Skarsgård and Samuel L. Jackson.[44]

Robbie in 2016

Robbie became the first person to portray DC Comics villain Harley Quinn in live-action when she signed on to David Ayer's 2016 superhero film Suicide Squad alongside an ensemble cast that included Will Smith, Jared Leto and Viola Davis. She admitted to having never read the comics, but felt a huge responsibility to do the character justice and satisfy the fans.[45] Robbie began preparing for the role of the supervillainess six months prior to the film shoot; her schedule consisted of gymnastics, boxing, aerial silk training and learning how to hold her breath underwater for five minutes. She performed the majority of her own stunts in the film.[46] Suicide Squad was a commercial success and was tenth-highest-grossing film of 2016 with global revenues of $746.8 million, and Robbie's performance was considered its prime asset.[47] Writing for Time, Stephanie Zacharek found Robbie to be "a criminally appealing actress, likable in just about every way" despite finding flaws in the character[48] and Christopher Orr of The Atlantic called her performance "genuinely terrific".[49] At the annual People's Choice Awards ceremony, she won the Favourite Action Movie Actress award and was also awarded the Critics' Choice Movie Award for Best Actress in an Action Movie.[50][51] In October 2016, Robbie hosted the season 42 premiere of NBC's late-night sketch comedy Saturday Night Live; her appearances included a parody of Ivanka Trump.[52] The series logged its strongest season premiere ratings in eight years.[53] Robbie collaborated with Domhnall Gleeson in Simon Curtis' Goodbye Christopher Robin (2017), a biographical drama about the lives of Winnie-the-Pooh creator A. A. Milne and his family. The film, and her performance, received modest reviews and was a commercial failure.[54][55]

Her final release of 2017 and LuckyChap Entertainment's first release was Craig Gillespie's sports black comedy I, Tonya, based on the life of American figure skater Tonya Harding (Robbie) and her connection to the 1994 assault on rival Nancy Kerrigan. In preparation, Robbie met with Harding, watched old footage and interviews of her, worked with a voice coach to speak in Harding's Pacific Northwest accent and vocal timbre at different ages, and underwent several months of rigorous skating instruction with choreographer Sarah Kawahara.[56][57] I, Tonya premiered at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival to critical acclaim.[58] James Luxford of Metro deemed it Robbie's best performance to date, and Mark Kermode of The Observer wrote, "Margot Robbie's performance in this satirical, postmodern tale of the disgraced star is a tour-de-force tornado that balances finely nuanced character development with impressively punchy physicality".[59][60] She received numerous accolades for her performance, including nominations for an Academy Award, a BAFTA Award, a Golden Globe Award, a Screen Actors Guild Award and a Critics' Choice Movie Award, all for Best Actress.[61]

Robbie began 2018 with the voice role of Flopsy Rabbit in Peter Rabbit, an animated comedy from director Will Gluck, which is based on the Beatrix Potter book series. The animated feature was a box office success, grossing $351.3 million worldwide against a production budget of $50 million.[62] Her next two 2018 films—the neo-noir thriller Terminal and comedy-horror Slaughterhouse Rulez—were critical and commercial failures. The historical drama Mary Queen of Scots, directed by Josie Rourke, was her final release of 2018. The film featured Saoirse Ronan as the titular character and Robbie as her cousin Queen Elizabeth I, and it chronicles the 1569 conflict between their two countries. Robbie had initially turned down the role for being "terrified" of not living up to the history of portrayals of the Queen.[63] Before each day of shooting, she spent three hours in the make-up chair while a prosthetic nose, painted on boils and blisters were applied.[64] Critics dismissed the film for its screenplay and several historical inaccuracies, but praised the performances of Robbie and Ronan.[65] Yolanda Machado of TheWrap wrote, "[B]ow down to Ronan and Robbie for taking two legendarily complex characters, [...] and completely owning both roles. Ronan's fiery Mary and Robbie's emotionally complex Elizabeth truly reign divine on screen."[66] For her portrayal, Robbie received nominations for a BAFTA Award and for a Screen Actors Guild Award.[67]

2019–present: Established actress and producer

[edit]
Robbie at the premiere of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood in 2019

Robbie's first release of 2019 was the LuckyChap Entertainment production Dreamland, a poorly received period crime thriller set during the 1930s Dust Bowl.[68] She began executive producing the comedy series Dollface, which streamed on Hulu from 2019 to 2022.[69] Robbie was filmmaker Quentin Tarantino's only choice to portray the late actress Sharon Tate in his period film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt.[70] With the Tate–LaBianca murders serving as a backdrop, the film tells the story of a fading character actor (DiCaprio) and his stunt double (Pitt) as they navigate New Hollywood in 1969 Los Angeles.[71] Feeling "an enormous sense of responsibility", Robbie prepared for the role by meeting Tate's family members and friends, watching all of her films and reading the autobiography by Tate's then-husband, Roman Polanski.[72] Once Upon a Time in Hollywood premiered at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival to critical acclaim, and was a commercial success with a worldwide gross of $374.3 million.[73] Despite many bemoaning Robbie's lack of lines in the film,[74] Robbie Collin of The Daily Telegraph highlighted a scene with Robbie in the cinema, which he found to be the film's "most delightful" scene.[75]

Also in 2019, she starred as Kayla Pospisil, a composite character based on several Fox News employees, in Jay Roach's drama Bombshell. Co-starring Charlize Theron and Nicole Kidman, the film recounts stories of various female personnel at the news network and their sexual harassment by the network's chairman Roger Ailes.[76] Robbie based her character's accent on Katherine Harris.[77] The film received positive reviews;[78] Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times wrote, "Robbie [is] at her best, the arc of her story is so crushing that it stays with you the longest."[79] For her performances in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Bombshell, she received two nominations for the BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role,[a][80] and for the latter she received nominations for an Academy Award, a Golden Globe and a Screen Actors Guild Award; all in the Best Supporting Actress category.[81]

Robbie began the new decade by reprising the role of Harley Quinn in Cathy Yan's Birds of Prey (2020). Determined to make a female ensemble action film, she pitched the idea for the film to Warner Bros. in 2015. Robbie spent the subsequent three years developing the project under her production company, making a concerted effort to hire a female director and screenwriter.[82] Birds of Prey, along with Robbie's performance, gained generally positive reviews;[83][84][85] Ian Freer of Empire wrote that "the MVP is Robbie, who lends Harley charming quirk and believable menace, hinting at Harley's inner life without reams of dialogue."[86] She received two nominations at the 46th People's Choice Awards.[87]

Robbie served as a producer on Promising Young Woman (2020), a comedy thriller by writer-director Emerald Fennell, starring Carey Mulligan as a woman who seeks to avenge the rape and death of her best friend. The film received acclaim,[88][89] earning a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Picture.[90] In 2021, Robbie reprised her voice role as Flopsy Rabbit in Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway, which received mixed reviews and grossed $153.8 million worldwide.[91][92] She also made her third outing as Quinn in the standalone sequel The Suicide Squad, written and directed by James Gunn. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the film was simultaneously released theatrically and on the streaming service HBO Max. Owen Gleiberman praised Robbie's "delectable performance" in it.[93] She also served as an executive producer for the Netflix miniseries Maid.[94]

Robbie at the Sydney premiere of Barbie in 2023

In 2022, Robbie reprised her role as Donna Freedman for the final episode of Neighbours.[95] She starred alongside an ensemble cast in David O. Russell's period comedy Amsterdam, based on the 1933 Business Plot.[96] The film emerged as a critical and commercial failure.[97][98] In her second film release of the year, she played Nellie LaRoy, an actress inspired by silent movie star Clara Bow, in Damien Chazelle's comedy-drama Babylon. In preparation, she studied the works of Bow and researched her traumatic childhood.[30] She described LaRoy as "the most physically and emotionally draining character I've ever played".[30] The film polarised critics and had poor box office returns, though her performance received praise;[99][100] Caryn James of BBC Culture opined, "Robbie's bold, charismatic performance makes Nellie a daring, endlessly spiraling, sympathetic figure".[101] She received another Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress,[102] although the underperformance of her two major releases that year led some commentators to brand her as "box office poison" at the time.[103]

In the following year, Robbie had a single scene in Wes Anderson's ensemble comedy film Asteroid City.[104] Chris Hewitt of the Star Tribune described her "impassioned acting in her lone scene" as "perfectly judged".[105] The fantasy comedy Barbie, co-starring Ryan Gosling as Ken, was her next film release.[106] As producer, Robbie bought the rights from Mattel for a film about the eponymous fashion doll in 2018.[107] She hired Greta Gerwig to write and direct the film, and took on the title role herself after Gal Gadot declined her offer.[107] In preparation, Gerwig and Robbie watched old Technicolor musicals such as The Red Shoes (1948) and The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964).[107] Variety reported that Robbie earned $12.5 million for the role, the highest for an actress in Hollywood that year.[108] Vulture's Alison Willmore took note of how much Robbie fit the part, and commended her for combining both "heartbreaking earnestness" and "humor" in her performance.[109] With a worldwide gross of over $1.4 billion, Barbie emerged as Robbie's highest-grossing release.[110] She received further BAFTA and Golden Globe nominations for her performance, in addition to a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Picture.[111][112][113]

Also in 2023, Robbie produced Fennell's second directorial, Saltburn.[114] The 2024 Sundance Film Festival marked the release of her next production, Megan Park's comedy film My Old Ass.[115] Robbie will next star alongside Colin Farrell in Kogonada's film A Big Bold Beautiful Journey[116] and Jacob Elordi in Fennell's Wuthering Heights, adapted from the novel.[117]

Personal life

[edit]

Despite significant media attention, Robbie rarely discusses her personal life.[118][119] Robbie moved from Melbourne to Williamsburg, Brooklyn, in the early 2010s, having previously shared a flat with Neighbours co-star Ashleigh Brewer.[120][121] During that period, she became an avid ice hockey fan; she supports the New York Rangers and previously played right wing in an amateur ice hockey league.[122][123]

Robbie met British assistant director Tom Ackerley on the set of Suite Française in 2013.[124] As a child, Ackerley served as an extra in the first three films of the Harry Potter film series, which Robbie has been a fan of since childhood.[125] In 2014, she moved to London with Ackerley and LuckyChap Entertainment co-founders Sophia Kerr and Josey McNamara. Later that year, Robbie and Ackerley began a romantic relationship.[6][126] In December 2016, they married in a private wedding ceremony in Byron Bay, Australia.[127][128] The couple reside in Venice Beach, California.[124] In August 2024, the couple revealed that they were expecting their first child,[129][130] and in October, in the same year, Robbie gave birth to their son.[131][132]

Other work

[edit]

Robbie has been a vocal supporter of human rights, women's rights, gender equality and LGBT rights.[133][134] Through LuckyChap Entertainment, she and her co-founders focus on promoting female stories from female storytellers, whether it would be writers, directors, producers or all the above.[135] In 2014, she was part of a fundraising event in support of the Motion Picture & Television Fund, which helps people in the film and television industries with limited or no resources; she joined the same event on two other occasions, in 2018 and 2020.[136] In 2015, she helped raise $12 million through the BGC Global Charity Day fundraising event, which donates money to different charities around the world.[137] In 2016, Robbie joined other celebrities and UN Refugee Agency staff in a petition aiming to gather public support for the growing number of families forced to flee conflict and persecution worldwide.[138] Later in the year, she joined Oxfam's "I Hear You" project, which was designed to amplify the personal stories of the world's most vulnerable refugees and donated more than $50.000 to UNICEF's "Children First" campaign, in support of refugee children.[139]

In October 2016, while hosting Saturday Night Live, Robbie made a stand for same-sex marriage in her native Australia wearing a T-shirt that read "Say 'I Do' Down Under", with a map of the country in rainbow colours. A year later, she joined fellow actor Chris Hemsworth in advocating for the same purpose.[140] In 2018, she pledged to support the Time's Up initiative to protect women from harassment and discrimination.[141] In April 2021, Robbie was announced as the recipient of the inaugural RAD Impact Award, for inspiring purpose with her philanthropy. She chose to share the prize with Youngcare, a charity she had previously worked with, and therefore an impact donation was made to fund a project benefiting young people with extensive care needs.[142]

Margot Elise Robbie (born 2 July 1990 in Dalby, Queensland, Australia) is an Australian actress and producer.[1]
Robbie began her career in Australian television, appearing as Donna Freedman on the soap opera Neighbours from 2008 to 2011, before transitioning to film with a supporting role in I.C.U. (2009).[1] Her international breakthrough came with the role of Naomi Lapaglia in Martin Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street (2013), which showcased her ability to command attention in ensemble casts.[1]
She gained further prominence portraying Harley Quinn in the DC Extended Universe, starting with Suicide Squad (2016), and earned critical acclaim for lead roles in I, Tonya (2017), for which she received an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress, and Bombshell (2019), earning a Best Supporting Actress nomination.[2] In addition to acting, Robbie co-founded LuckyChap Entertainment in 2014 with her husband Tom Ackerley and business partners, focusing on female-centric narratives; the company produced the commercially successful Barbie (2023), in which she starred and for which she received a Best Picture nomination as producer.[3][4]

Early life

Family background and childhood

Margot Robbie was born Margot Elise Robbie on July 2, 1990, in Dalby, Queensland, Australia, the third of four children born to Sarie Kessler, a physiotherapist, and Doug Robbie, a former farm owner.[1][5] Her siblings include older brother Lachlan, younger brother Cameron, and sister Anya.[5][6] Robbie's parents separated when she was five years old, after which she and her siblings were raised primarily by their Australian mother in the Gold Coast region of Queensland, with limited contact with her father.[7] The family spent much of Robbie's early years on her grandparents' farm in the Currumbin Valley hinterland near the Gold Coast, where she developed an affinity for rural life amid sugarcane fields and coastal proximity.[8][9] During her childhood, Robbie frequently visited her father's properties in Dalby and contributed to farm tasks, reflecting the practical, self-reliant environment of her upbringing, though specific details on her daily routines remain limited in public accounts.[10] Her early experiences on the farm and in the Gold Coast area instilled a grounded perspective, as she later described balancing rural simplicity with suburban influences before pursuing opportunities beyond Queensland in her late teens.[11][8] Robbie has no known family ties to Michigan, was not born or raised there, and there are no reliable reports of her personally visiting Michigan. The only loose association is her starring role in I, Tonya (2017), which depicts the Tonya Harding/Nancy Kerrigan scandal including the attack on Kerrigan in Detroit, Michigan; Robbie initially believed the script was fictional and was unaware it was based on real events.[12][13]

Education and initial career aspirations

Robbie attended Somerset College, an independent high school in Mudgeeraba, Queensland, where she focused on drama studies during her secondary education.[14][15] She graduated from the institution in 2007.[15] There is no record of her pursuing formal higher education or university attendance following high school, as she instead prioritized professional acting opportunities.[14][1] From an early age, Robbie demonstrated interest in performance arts, including enrollment in a local circus school where she earned a certificate in trapeze by age eight, reflecting an initial draw toward physical and theatrical spectacles like magic or acrobatics.[16] By high school, her aspirations shifted toward acting, influenced by participation in school plays and drama classes that honed her skills in independent films and stage work.[14] To fund her relocation to Melbourne for auditions, she held multiple part-time jobs as a teenager, including bartending, house cleaning, and sandwich preparation at Subway, saving approximately AUD 1,000 by age 17.[17] This self-funded move in 2007 directly led to her casting in the soap opera Neighbours in 2008, marking the transition from educational pursuits to a committed acting career without further academic detours.[15]

Acting career

Early television roles (2008–2012)

Robbie's professional acting career began in 2008 with her casting as Donna Freedman in the Australian soap opera Neighbours, a role that marked her television debut.[4] Introduced in episode 5531, aired on 23 June 2008, Donna was depicted as an orphaned teenager and obsessive fan of musician Ty Harper (Dean Geyer), initially arriving in the fictional suburb of Erinsborough as a short-term guest character.[18] Due to positive audience reception, the role was expanded into a series regular, with Freedman integrating into Ramsay Street storylines involving foster family dynamics, romantic entanglements, school challenges, and a fashion internship arc.[19] She portrayed Donna continuously until episode 6071, broadcast on 7 January 2011, spanning over 500 episodes and encompassing plots such as elopements, legal troubles, and personal growth amid the soap's ensemble format.[20] For her performance, Robbie earned two Logie Award nominations: Most Popular New Female Talent in 2009 and Most Popular Actress in 2010, reflecting recognition within Australian television circles despite the genre's formulaic constraints.[4] Following her Neighbours tenure, Robbie relocated to Los Angeles in 2011 to pursue Hollywood opportunities. She left the show at the height of her popularity in Australia, explaining in a 2019 interview that she faced three options: wait for her character to be written out, remain in the comfortable role indefinitely, or quit to try her luck in America, which offered far more acting opportunities than Australia. Robbie stated, “Of course I could have failed, but I was willing to risk it.” She prepared for the move by taking acting classes and working with a dialogue coach to perfect her American accent. Additionally, she has noted that being told a girl from the Gold Coast making it in Hollywood seemed impossible only fueled her determination, making her want to succeed "a thousand times more." Shortly after arriving, timed with pilot season, she secured the recurring role of Laura Cameron in the ABC drama Pan Am (2011–2012).[21] Premiering on 25 September 2011, the series followed the professional and personal lives of Pan American World Airways flight attendants in the early 1960s, with Robbie playing the idealistic younger sister of lead character Kate Cameron (Christina Ricci), appearing in seven of the 14 episodes produced.[4] Pan Am concluded after one season on 19 February 2012 due to insufficient ratings, limiting Robbie's exposure but providing her initial foothold in U.S. network television.[21]

Breakthrough films (2013–2015)

Robbie achieved her breakthrough in Hollywood with the role of Naomi Lapaglia, the second wife of stockbroker Jordan Belfort, in Martin Scorsese's black comedy The Wolf of Wall Street (2013), co-starring Leonardo DiCaprio.[4] Her performance as the sharp-tongued, ambitious character earned her a nomination for MTV Movie Award for Best Breakthrough Performance.[4] The film, which depicted the excesses of Wall Street in the late 1980s and early 1990s, received widespread critical acclaim for its direction, screenplay, and ensemble cast, with Robbie's portrayal noted for its blend of allure and assertiveness.[22] Robbie has spoken about the challenges of her breakout role and her commitment to authenticity in the film's nude sequences. In various interviews (including Porter magazine 2018, BAFTA 2022, and Talking Pictures 2024), she explained that for the seduction scene where Naomi emerges fully nude to entice Jordan, director Martin Scorsese offered her a robe if she felt uncomfortable, but Robbie refused, stating, "That’s not what she would do in that scene. The whole point is that she’s going to come out completely naked—that’s the card she’s playing," emphasizing Naomi's body as her currency of power. For the later couch-teasing "Daddy doesn't get to touch Mommy" scene, Robbie went without underwear to achieve a realistic silhouette under the short skirt when lifting it to taunt Jordan. She revealed consuming a couple of tequila shots beforehand to calm her nerves, describing herself as "very, very nervous" while performing in a tiny bedroom set crowded with around 30 crew members, mostly men, in a pre-#MeToo production environment without intimacy coordinators. Prior to The Wolf of Wall Street, Robbie appeared in a supporting role as Charlotte in the romantic comedy About Time (2013), directed by Richard Curtis, which explored time travel and family dynamics but did not significantly elevate her profile internationally.[23] In 2014, she starred as April in the action fantasy I, Frankenstein, a commercial underperformer that grossed $97 million worldwide against a $30 million budget but received poor reviews for its script and effects.[21] In 2015, Robbie co-led the con artist thriller Focus opposite Will Smith, playing Jess Barrett, a novice grifter mentored by Smith's experienced Nicky Spurgeon.[24] The film earned mixed reviews, holding a 55% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 227 critics' assessments, with praise directed at the leads' chemistry and tense cons but criticism for predictable plotting.[24] Financially, Focus succeeded with a worldwide gross of $159.1 million on a $50-65 million budget.[25] That year, she also featured in a memorable cameo in The Big Short, directed by Adam McKay, where her character explained mortgage-backed securities while lounging in a bubble bath, serving as a narrative device to simplify financial jargon for audiences.[26] These roles solidified Robbie's transition from television to leading film parts, showcasing her versatility in comedy, drama, and action genres.[27]

Global stardom and franchise roles (2016–2018)

In 2016, Margot Robbie attained global stardom through prominent roles in high-profile action-adventure and superhero films. She starred as Jane Clayton opposite Alexander Skarsgård's Tarzan in The Legend of Tarzan, directed by David Yates, which earned $357.2 million worldwide on a $180 million production budget, marking a solid commercial performance despite mixed critical reception.[28] That year, Robbie's portrayal of psychiatrist-turned-villain Harley Quinn (Dr. Harleen Quinzel) in David Ayer's Suicide Squad, the third installment in the DC Extended Universe, further elevated her profile; the film grossed $749.2 million globally against a $175 million budget, becoming one of the year's top earners. Her energetic, chaotic depiction of Harley Quinn—emphasizing the character's mania, combat skills, and twisted romance with the Joker—emerged as the production's critical and audience highlight amid broader complaints about pacing and editing, propelling Quinn's cultural visibility and Robbie's appeal to international audiences.[29] Robbie was subsequently named IMDb's most-searched star of 2016, reflecting the role's impact on her fame. The Harley Quinn character, originally a Batman sidekick from 1990s comics, saw renewed profitability through Robbie's live-action interpretation, which influenced merchandise sales, cosplay trends, and spin-off considerations within the DC franchise.[30] Despite controversies, including fan backlash over the character's abusive dynamics with the Joker leading to reported death threats against Robbie, the performance solidified her as a versatile lead capable of anchoring blockbuster ensembles.[31] In 2018, Robbie expanded into voice acting with franchise properties, voicing Flopsy Rabbit and serving as narrator in Peter Rabbit, a live-action/animated adaptation of Beatrix Potter's tales directed by Will Gluck, which generated $351.5 million worldwide on a $50 million budget and spawned sequels.) This role leveraged her established draw in family-oriented content, contributing to the film's appeal through her spirited delivery amid a cast including James Corden and Domhnall Gleeson.[32] Concurrently, she took supporting turns in non-franchise projects like the thriller Terminal and as Queen Elizabeth I in Mary Queen of Scots, but these did not match the scale of her prior franchise breakthroughs.[4] By late 2018, Robbie's franchise associations—particularly via Harley Quinn—had cemented her status as a bankable star, with Suicide Squad's enduring metrics underscoring its role in her transition from supporting actress to global lead.[33]

Mature roles and recent projects (2019–present)

In 2019, Robbie portrayed Sharon Tate in Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, depicting the actress's final months before her murder by members of the Manson Family. Her performance emphasized Tate's vivacity and resemblance to the real figure, though critics noted the role's limited screen time and dialogue, which Tarantino defended as intentional to humanize the victim without exploitation.[34][35] That same year, Robbie played Kayla Pospisil, a fictionalized junior producer enduring sexual harassment at Fox News, in Bombshell, a dramatization of the Roger Ailes scandal. The role highlighted workplace power imbalances and the #MeToo movement's early dynamics, drawing from accounts of real employees while avoiding direct composites for legal reasons. The film grossed $61.4 million worldwide against a $32 million budget.[36] Robbie reprised her role as Harley Quinn in Birds of Prey (2020) and The Suicide Squad (2021), the latter directed by James Gunn and praised for its violent action sequences and character arcs, including Quinn's escape from prison using improvised weapons. These DC films marked a shift toward ensemble dynamics but retained the character's chaotic persona from earlier portrayals. The Suicide Squad earned a 90% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.[37][38] In 2022, Robbie starred as Nellie LaRoy, a volatile aspiring actress navigating the debauchery of early Hollywood's transition from silent films to talkies, in Damien Chazelle's Babylon. Her energetic, unfiltered performance amid scenes of excess—including drug use and orgies—was lauded for capturing the era's hedonism, though the film's bombastic style divided audiences. Later that year, she appeared in Wes Anderson's Amsterdam as a nurse entangled in a 1930s conspiracy.[39][40] Robbie's portrayal of the titular doll in Greta Gerwig's Barbie (2023) combined satire with existential themes, grossing $1.447 billion worldwide and becoming the highest-earning film of the year. The project, co-produced by her company LuckyChap Entertainment, won the inaugural Golden Globe for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement.[41][42] Robbie and co-star Ryan Gosling each received an upfront salary of $12.5 million for their acting roles. As producer through LuckyChap Entertainment, Robbie earned additional box office bonuses and backend participation, leading to total earnings from the film of roughly $50 million, according to Variety reports citing individuals with knowledge of the deal. This contributed significantly to her $59 million pretax earnings in 2023 as reported by Forbes. In 2025, Robbie led A Big Bold Beautiful Journey opposite Colin Farrell, playing Sarah, a woman who embarks on a magical road trip with a stranger after meeting at a wedding, guided by a fantastical GPS. Directed by Kogonada, the romantic fantasy received mixed reviews for its metaphorical exploration of relationships but underperformed commercially, opening to $3.5 million domestically.[43][44][45]

Producing and business ventures

Establishment of LuckyChap Entertainment

LuckyChap Entertainment was co-founded in 2014 by Australian actress Margot Robbie, her then-partner Tom Ackerley, childhood friend Sophia Kerr, and production assistant Josey McNamara, with the explicit aim of producing films and content centered on female-driven narratives and supporting emerging women filmmakers.[46][47] The company's formation stemmed from the founders' shared experiences in the male-dominated film industry, where Robbie and her collaborators sought greater control over storytelling that prioritized authentic female perspectives, as articulated by Robbie in subsequent interviews reflecting on early motivations.[48] The entity was formally incorporated as LuckyChap Entertainment Limited on September 18, 2014, in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, United Kingdom, initially operating from a shared London home that served as an informal headquarters for the nascent venture.[49][48] Headquartered primarily in Los Angeles, California, with dual British-American operations, the company focused from inception on independent projects rather than blockbuster pursuits, emphasizing scripts that passed an internal "F*** yes" test for creative passion over commercial viability alone.[50][48] This bootstrapped approach allowed for agile development of early slate items, drawing on Robbie's rising post-Wolf of Wall Street profile to secure initial partnerships without external funding rounds at launch.[3]

Notable productions and commercial outcomes

LuckyChap Entertainment's debut feature, I, Tonya (2017), achieved commercial viability as an independent production, grossing $53.9 million worldwide against an estimated $11 million budget.[51] The film's success stemmed from critical acclaim and awards nominations, including an Academy Award for Best Actress for Robbie, enabling LuckyChap to secure further financing for female-led stories.[52] Subsequent releases included *Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)* (2020), which earned $205.3 million globally on a reported budget of $84.5–100 million, recouping costs through domestic and international markets despite pandemic disruptions.[53] Promising Young Woman (2020), a lower-budget thriller, generated $18.9 million in box office revenue, bolstered by Oscar wins for Best Original Screenplay and supporting its direct-to-video profitability model amid theater closures.[54] The company's most significant financial triumph came with Barbie (2023), co-produced with Warner Bros., which amassed over $1.4 billion worldwide, marking the highest-grossing film of the year and yielding substantial backend earnings for LuckyChap, including approximately $50 million in salary and bonuses for Robbie as producer.[55][56] This performance, driven by broad audience appeal and merchandising tie-ins, elevated LuckyChap's portfolio value, leading to expanded deals such as a first-look agreement with Warner Bros.[57]

Personal life

Relationships and marriage

Margot Robbie met Tom Ackerley in 2013 on the set of the film Suite Française, where she portrayed a supporting character and he served as third assistant director.[58][59] Initially, their interaction developed into a platonic friendship; the pair later became housemates in London alongside other industry colleagues, including Ackerley's assistant director sibling.[58][60] The friendship transitioned into a romantic relationship in the years following their initial meeting, though exact dating timelines remain private.[61] Robbie and Ackerley married in a private ceremony on December 19, 2016, at a rural estate in Byron Bay, Australia, attended by close family and friends; the event was kept secret from the public until later confirmed by Robbie.[58][59] No public engagement announcement preceded the wedding.[62] Since their marriage, Robbie and Ackerley have collaborated professionally, including co-founding the production company LuckyChap Entertainment in 2018 with Robbie's childhood friends.[63] In a 2024 interview, Robbie described their dynamic as involving near-constant togetherness outside of work, attributing the strength of their partnership to shared professional routines and mutual support.[64] The couple has maintained a low public profile regarding their personal life. They welcomed their first child, a son, in October 2024, keeping details such as the child's name and exact birth date private.[65][66] Prior to Ackerley, Robbie's romantic history includes unconfirmed rumors of involvement with co-stars such as Alexander Skarsgård during the 2016 production of The Legend of Tarzan, but no verified long-term relationships have been documented.[67]

Lifestyle and residences

Margot Robbie primarily resides in Los Angeles, California, with her husband, Tom Ackerley, in a private home described as a familial sanctuary featuring modern interiors.[68] The couple, who met on the set of Suite Française in 2013 and married in 2016, previously shared a modest house in Clapham, southwest London, during their early relationship.[69] Robbie has invested in multiple properties, including sales and renovations in Los Angeles and on Australia's Gold Coast, where her family remains based; her portfolio emphasizes California-style modern beach house aesthetics with features like ocean views and lush gardens.[70] [71] In Queensland, she once rented a $4.9 million retreat with a guest shed, cedar hot tub, barrel sauna, and wraparound porch, though it was a former residence.[72] Robbie's lifestyle lacks a fixed daily routine, adapting instead to her acting and producing commitments, such as filming in locations like Budapest.[73] She favors casual indulgences including beers, fries, and burgers but shifts to restrictive eating—like carrot sticks—for role preparations involving swimwear.[74] Fitness emphasizes strength training, reformer Pilates, heavy lower-body lifts (back squats, deadlifts, leg presses), and occasional skating or dance cardio, often 4–5 sessions weekly when prepping for physically demanding parts like Barbie.[75] [76] A self-described tea enthusiast, she consumes about 10 cups daily, viewing it as a remedy for various needs. During periods like the 2020 lockdowns, she incorporated home dancing to high-energy music for mental and physical release.[77]

Public image and reception

Accolades and critical assessment

Margot Robbie has garnered significant recognition for her performances and producing work, including nominations for three Academy Awards: Best Actress for portraying Tonya Harding in I, Tonya (2017) at the 90th ceremony on March 4, 2018; Best Supporting Actress for her role in Bombshell (2019) at the 92nd on February 9, 2020; and Best Picture as a producer of Barbie (2023) at the 96th on March 10, 2024.[78] She has also received four Golden Globe Award nominations, including Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy for Barbie at the 81st ceremony on January 7, 2024, and Best Actress for I, Tonya at the 75th on January 7, 2018, though she has not won in the acting categories.[79] Additional honors include two Critics' Choice Movie Award wins—for Best Actress in a Comedy for I, Tonya in 2018 and Best Actress in a Comedy for Barbie in 2024—and nominations from the Screen Actors Guild for Bombshell and Barbie.[78] Critics have lauded Robbie's ability to embody complex characters in biographical roles, particularly her portrayal of Tonya Harding, which reviewers described as capturing the skater's resilience amid personal turmoil and media scrutiny, contributing to the film's 90% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 374 reviews. Her performance in Bombshell drew praise for depicting Kayla, a composite Fox News staffer, with nuance that highlighted institutional power dynamics, earning a nomination from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association despite the ensemble nature of the cast. In contrast, her franchise roles, such as Harley Quinn in the DC Extended Universe films starting with Suicide Squad (2016), have been commercially successful—Birds of Prey (2020) grossed $205 million worldwide—but received mixed critical feedback for prioritizing spectacle over character depth, with some outlets noting her charisma sustains the portrayal amid uneven scripting.[80] As a producer, Robbie's oversight of Barbie, which earned $1.44 billion globally and became Warner Bros.' highest-grossing film, underscores her commercial acumen, though its Best Picture nomination reflected ensemble and directorial elements more than her individual acting, which aggregated 88% positive reviews on Metacritic from 62 critics for its satirical take on consumerism and identity. Assessments of her overall career highlight versatility across genres, from indie dramas to blockbusters, yet note a reliance on physical appeal in early roles like The Wolf of Wall Street (2013), where her scenes as Naomi Lapaglia generated buzz but sparked debates on objectification versus performance merit. Independent analyses, such as rankings by The Hollywood Reporter, position I, Tonya and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019) among her strongest, crediting her for elevating material through preparation and range, while acknowledging that mainstream media outlets sometimes amplify her appeal over rigorous scrutiny of acting technique.[81]

Cultural influence and media depictions

Robbie's portrayal of Harley Quinn beginning with Suicide Squad (2016) propelled the character from comic book obscurity to a enduring pop culture staple, marked by widespread cosplay, merchandise sales exceeding $1 billion annually for DC properties featuring the character, and influences on fashion trends like pigtails and baseball bats.[82][83] Her interpretation emphasized Quinn's psychological complexity and anti-heroine independence, diverging from prior animated depictions and inspiring spin-offs like Birds of Prey (2020), which grossed $205 million despite mixed reviews.[84] The 2023 Barbie film, starring and co-produced by Robbie, achieved $1.445 billion in worldwide box office receipts, the highest-grossing film of the year and directed by a woman, while igniting "Barbenheimer"—a simultaneous release phenomenon with Oppenheimer that drove $240 million in joint U.S. opening weekend ticket sales.[85][86] It spurred "Barbiecore" aesthetics, with global pink clothing sales surging 21% in July 2023 per Nielsen data, and prompted debates on consumerism and femininity without resolving them empirically.[84] Robbie's performance, blending satire and earnestness, contributed to her $59 million pretax earnings that year, ranking her second among actors per Forbes.[85] In 2017, Time magazine included Robbie in its 100 most influential people list, with Martin Scorsese citing her "old-school charisma" from The Wolf of Wall Street (2013).[87] Her roles have influenced luxury brand endorsements, including Chanel campaigns since 2018 that generated millions in media value.[88] Media portrayals frequently frame Robbie as a modern blonde archetype akin to Marilyn Monroe, emphasizing physical allure in early coverage—like a 2016 Vanity Fair article derided for objectification via staged interviews—but evolving to acclaim her producer role in female-led narratives.[83][89] Outlets such as Business of Fashion note her as a style influencer, with Barbie press amplifying her as a commercial force rather than mere icon.[84]

Controversies and criticisms

Professional and project-related backlash

The 2023 film Barbie, produced by Robbie's company LuckyChap Entertainment and starring Robbie as the titular character, faced significant criticism from conservative commentators and audiences for its portrayal of patriarchal structures and feminist themes, with detractors arguing it promoted anti-male narratives under a family-friendly veneer.[90][91] Figures such as Ben Shapiro publicly dismissed the film's premise during its promotional tour, highlighting perceived inconsistencies in its gender politics, which amplified online debates and contributed to polarized reception despite its $1.4 billion global box office gross.[92] This backlash echoed in international markets, including China, where state media and online users labeled it as divisive propaganda exacerbating gender tensions.[90] Robbie's starring role and producing credit in *Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)* (2020), another LuckyChap project, drew scrutiny for its R-rated violence, profanity, and emphasis on female-led action, which some critics and audiences viewed as pandering to empowerment tropes at the expense of coherent storytelling.[93] The film underperformed commercially, earning $205 million worldwide against a $85 million budget, with analysts attributing part of the shortfall to audience aversion toward its "girl power" marketing and title adjustments aimed at clarifying the Harley Quinn focus amid perceived disinterest in ensemble female superhero narratives.[94] Reviews highlighted Robbie's energetic performance but faulted the script's reliance on chaotic aesthetics over substantive character development.[95] Subsequent projects amplified commercial pressures on Robbie and LuckyChap, including the 2022 film Babylon, where Robbie's involvement was linked to its domestic box office disappointment of $15 million against a $80 million budget, prompting accusations of her selective project choices contributing to financial risks for studios.[96] Additionally, her decision to star in a David O. Russell-directed film despite prior allegations of abusive on-set behavior against the director drew fan criticism for prioritizing career opportunities over ethical consistency.[97] In 2025, announcements of Robbie starring as Catherine Earnshaw in Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights adaptation sparked backlash over casting an Australian actress in a role tied to English moorland heritage, with detractors questioning historical and cultural fidelity.[98]

Personal and ideological scrutiny

Margot Robbie has maintained a relatively private stance on explicit political ideologies, with public statements limited to support for workers' rights and initiatives addressing workplace harassment. In a 2023 interview clip shared by Trades Union Congress materials, she emphasized the importance of unions in protecting employees from exploitation, stating that collective bargaining provides essential leverage against corporate overreach. This pro-union position aligns with labor advocacy common in the entertainment industry but has drawn little controversy, as it reflects practical concerns over economic precarity rather than broader ideological commitments. Robbie has not disclosed donations to political parties or candidates, focusing instead on non-partisan charities such as Oxfam and Australian bushfire relief efforts, where she urged fans to contribute to firefighting and wildlife services during the 2019-2020 crisis.[99][100][101] In 2018, Robbie endorsed the Time's Up campaign, pledging support for efforts to combat sexual harassment and discrimination, particularly in Hollywood following #MeToo revelations. Despite this alignment with progressive-leaning reforms, she has acknowledged a personal disconnect from the experiences depicted in related projects; preparing for her role in the 2019 film Bombshell, Robbie reported never having encountered workplace sexual harassment herself, though the production prompted her to reconsider subtler forms of misconduct. This admission highlights a gap between her advocacy and lived experience, potentially underscoring selective engagement with feminist causes amid industry pressures, where such endorsements often serve reputational rather than deeply causal purposes. Her research for Bombshell involved creating a pseudonymous Twitter account to follow young conservative women, whom she described as inhabiting a "totally different planet" from her own worldview, suggesting an implicit liberal-leaning perspective shaped by Australian roots and Hollywood norms rather than rigorous ideological scrutiny.[102][103][104] Personal life events have occasionally invited ideological projection, though Robbie avoids direct engagement. Following the November 2024 birth of her son, scattered online commentary from self-described feminists expressed disappointment over the child's gender, tying it absurdly to her Barbie role and implying a failure to advance "girl power" narratives; these reactions, amplified on platforms like Reddit and YouTube, reveal fringe expectations but lack substantive evidence of Robbie's own views on family or reproductive issues, as she has not publicly addressed abortion, gender roles, or parenting philosophies. Such scrutiny often stems from media's amplification of celebrity personal milestones, where empirical personal choices—like opting for privacy in family matters—clash with imposed ideological lenses from biased online echo chambers, yet Robbie's reticence prevents verifiable deeper analysis.[105]
