Margot Robbie’s Delight in Down-to-Earth Living: Embracing Outback Adventures Over the Glamour of LA, Endearing the Hearts of Australians

Margot Robbie, a prominent presence in contemporary Hollywood, shines brightly among her peers. However, this 28-year-old Australian actress remains remarkably modest and grounded, even amidst the glamour of Tinseltown. Her upbringing by a single mother on the Gold Coast, as well as her free-spirited wedding in Byron Bay, testify to the fact that fame has not altered her true essence.

Margot Robbie, despite being one of Hollywood’s most prominent stars, leads a modest and grounded life. Unlike many celebrities who revel in the glitz and glamour of Los Angeles, she finds solace in the adventurous beauty of the Australian outback. This choice has endeared her to her fellow Australians, who appreciate her down-to-earth nature. On January 27, 2019, she was captured in California, exuding her effortless charm.

Margot’s roots lie in Dalby, Queensland, where she was born to Sarie Kessler, a physiotherapist, and Doug Robbie, a wealthy figure in the sugarcane industry. Unfortunately, her parents’ relationship came to an end shortly after Margot’s birth, leaving Sarie to shoulder the responsibilities of raising Margot and her three siblings alone. However, Sarie persevered and eventually secured a significant milestone for her family. In 2007, she purchased a four-bedroom house in Queensland’s Southport, providing a stable and comfortable home for her children.

Once Margot skyrocketed to success in the realm of Hollywood, she took it upon herself to fully settle her mother’s mortgage, gifting her with a debt-free home for her 60th birthday in 2014.
At the time, Sarie simply stated, “It was truly an incredible gesture from Margot, but I’d prefer not to delve further into the details…it was an intimate present.”
During the early stages of 2014, precisely when Margot’s star was on the rise due to her unforgettable portrayal in The Wolf of Wall Street, she resided in a cramped London shared abode, where four bedrooms were forced to accommodate a staggering seven individuals.

“It served as a heartfelt gesture”: After Margot achieved fame in the entertainment industry, she generously eliminated her mother’s entire mortgage as a gesture of love on her 60th birthday in 2014. Depicted in the photograph is Sarie Kessler’s cherished abode.

That’s where she encountered her future spouse, Tom Ackerley, a filmmaker from England. They exchanged vows in an intimate and laid-back wedding ceremony infused with bohemian vibes held in Byron Bay. Rather than hastily moving to a more luxurious residence after achieving fame, Margot and Tom chose to stay in their modest apartment until 2016. During an interview with The Guardian in 2018, she revealed, “Our roommates were the ones who reminded us, ‘You two got married. It’s about time you live on your own.'” Oddly enough, it hadn’t crossed their minds at all.

Despite raking in millions from starring roles in American hits like “The Legend of Tarzan” and “Suicide Squad,” Margot Robbie is surprisingly thrifty when it comes to her spending habits. In a 2016 interview with News.com.au, she admitted, “I’ve never indulged in luxurious accommodations or paid exorbitant rents. The idea of spending a lot of money actually makes me anxious. It just seems irrational to splurge on unnecessary things. I consider myself quite frugal.”

Their affectionate bond was beautifully captured in a photograph taken at the renowned Golden Globe Awards on January 7, 2018.

Meanwhile, as Margot embarked on a thrilling adventure in Croatia, she unexpectedly received an opportunity to audition for the exhilarating action flick, Focus, which starred the iconic Will Smith. A fascinating detail reveals that during this momentous occurrence, Margot was traversing across Croatia, indulging in the backpacking experience and lodging in merry hostels.

Expressing her enthusiasm on The Kyle and Jackie O Show in 2015, Margot joyfully exclaimed, “[Hostels] bring about so much merriment and an opportunity to cross paths with diverse individuals! When you choose to stay in a hotel, everything is meticulously planned, and the encounters are limited to those you have carefully orchestrated.”

During the production of The Legend of Tarzan in London back in 2014, Margot had an unexpected urge to take a break and explore Dublin. Without a care, she opted to stay in a humble hostel, not thinking much of her celebrity status. Surprisingly, a few observant individuals recognized her, commenting on her resemblance to the famous actress. Nevertheless, Margot managed to remain inconspicuous as most backpackers assumed that a renowned superstar like her wouldn’t possibly choose a hostel as their accommodation. Even to this day, Margot retains her adventurous spirit, always ready for an exciting escapade.
