Margot Robbie has a lot to celebrate, especially today because it is her 31st birthday! Plus, the iconic actress is reprising her role as “Harley Quinn” in the upcoming The Suicide Squad, which hits theaters on August 6th. Born Margot Elise Robbie on July 2, 1990, in Dalby, Queensland, Australia, the actress, and producer has shown an incredible range and has proven to be one of the most talented actors in Hollywood. In honor of Robbie’s birthday: here are 5 fun facts about the actress.
SHE (USED TO LOVE TO GIVE TATTOOS)
The “Wolf of Wall Street” actress used to love the tattoo gun. Robbie gave the Suicide Squad cast tattoos, like co-star Cara Delevingne and director David Ayer. But she told Jimmy Fallon in February 2020 she decided to hang up the gun after drunkenly tattooing a friend at a bachelorette party. “She walked down the aisle as one of the maids of honor in a backless dress and had this red-raw scabbing tattoo and her mum was filthy with me, she was roused with me at the wedding, she was so angry and I thought, I really shouldn’t do this anymore,” Robbie said.
SHE TURNED DOWN PLAYBOY
After her captivating performance in The Wolf of Wall Street, Hugh Hefner asked Robbie pose for Playboy and reportedly offered a lot of money. But she refused, and told a New Zealand radio show, “I‘ve put my family through enough.”
SHE HAS BEEN ACCUSED OF LYING ABOUT HER AGE
There’s a pretty silly conspiracy that the actress is lying about her age. People found an article that ran in The Sydney Morning Herald in 2008 that had her age listed at 23, which didn’t add up with her 1990 birthday. She brushed off the silly rumors and told Elle in 2015 “People seem outraged that I’m 24. People think I’m a decade older.” HuffPost proved in 2016 that she wasn’t lying with a “hard-hitting investigation.”
SHE ATTENDED CIRCUS SCHOOL
Robbie was actually kind of destined to play Harley Quinn. When she was 8 her mom enrolled her in a circus school for a trapeze program. She’s shown the impressive skills that stayed with her on film.
SHE HAD TO LEARN AN AMERICAN ACCENT
Before she came to Hollywood she lived in Melbourne and was cast as a bisexual teen on the daytime soap opera Neighbours and appeared in the show from 2008-2011. Before she moved to Hollywood she worked with an acting coach to learn an American accent
