Life

Margot Elise Robbie was born on 2 July 1990 on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia. Her family comes from Dalby, a town in Queensland. She grew up on the Gold Coast and spent part of her childhood on her grandparents' farm in Currumbin Valley. Her mother, Sarie Kessler, is a physiotherapist, and her father worked in farming. Her parents separated when she was young, and her mother mainly raised Robbie and her three siblings.

She attended a circus school, where she learned to perform on the trapeze. She received a certificate for her skills at the age of eight. She attended Somerset College on the Gold Coast, where she studied drama and took part in school plays. She graduated in 2007. At the age of 17, she moved to Melbourne to become an actress. She also worked at a Subway restaurant while trying to find acting work.

In 2013, Robbie met British filmmaker Tom Ackerley while working on the movie Suite Française. In 2014, they started the movie production company LuckyChap Entertainment with their friends Sophia Kerr and Josey McNamara. Robbie and Ackerley married in December 2016. They welcomed their first child, a son, in 2024.

In 2026, British business records listed Robbie under the name Margot Elise Ackerley. She continues to use Margot Robbie as her professional name.

Career

She first gained recognition for her role as Donna Freedman in the Australian soap opera Neighbours (2008–2011, 2022). She played Charlotte in the comedy-drama movie About Time (2013). Robbie gained further success for her portrayal of Harley Quinn in the DC Extended Universe movie Suicide Squad (2016), later reprising the role in Birds of Prey (2020) and The Suicide Squad (2021). In 2019, she starred as Sharon Tate in the Quentin Tarantino movie Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, which earned her a nomination for the BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role.

In 2017, Robbie was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress for her role as Tonya Harding in I, Tonya.
