- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
At some point this year, you've read her name, seen her red carpet photos, and have undoubtedly heard her say the words, "Hey, Barbie!" 👋
We're talking about Margot Robbie, who has had a busy year to say the least. The actress famously starred in the Barbie movie, which was a massive box office hit after premiering this past summer. We're talking a whopping $1 billion grossed worldwide!
Since then, the whole world has celebrated all things pink with Barbie Halloween costumes, pretty pink drinks, and Barbie-inspired recipes. But before all of the Barbie-mania, she was a Hollywood superstar. Not that she needs an introduction, but you've more than likely watched her in one of her many popular films, such as The Wolf of Wall Street, Babylon and I, Tonya... just to name a few.
If you're a fan of Margot, you may have noticed a striking difference between herself and the characters that she plays: her accent! That's because Margot Robbie is actually from Australia.
That's right! Margot was born in Dalby, Queensland, Australia in 1990. Before her life as an A-list actress in America, she reportedly worked as a self-called "sandwich artist" at a local Subway chain. She also attended Somerset College in Queensland, where she studied drama. It wasn't until after graduating in 2007 that she appeared in two Australian projects: the action movie Vigilante (2008) and the soap opera Neighbours, where she was a series regular until 2011.
Margot eventually left her homeland to make her mark on Hollywood, but she's an Aussie at heart! If you find this hard to believe, that just proves her acting chops. Just watch her hilarious past interview with Vanity Fair, where she teaches viewers some Australian slang.
If you want to see Margot in action as her true Aussie self, go ahead and search the internet for her many red carpet appearances and press interviews! In fact, you can tune into the Golden Globes on January 7, 2024 at 8:00 p.m. EST for a chance to hear her in real time. Barbie is nominated for nine awards, including Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture, Musical, or Comedy!
Here's to hoping she wins! 🤞 In the meantime, "Bye, Barbies!"
