Margot Robbie Becomes Honorary Brit After Nightlife Fun

She's been touring the world on the promo trail for Wuthering Heights.  

Yet it wasn't until Margot Robbie touched down in London last week that she truly felt back at home.

That's because despite hailing from Australia, and currently living in , the Barbie actress is a proud anglophile. 

Such is her love for all things British and her acclimatisation to the culture, that she has been dubbed an 'honorary Brit' by her English husband.

For years, London was Margot's stomping ground, with her wild nights out at the iconic carpeted Clapham club Infernos no secret, while she married a Surrey native after finding love with film-maker .

And when she isn't working on her intense and challenging acting roles, Margot is also a huge fan of British  - so much so that she once y, and it was recently revealed she also has a soft spot for national TV treasures . 

Margot first moved to the UK capital over a decade ago in 2013, where she, like many Aussies, made Clapham her home. 

After working on the wartime film Suite Française, Margot and six members of the crew ended up moving in together in London's party hotspot. 

Her former house in the SW postcode was affectionately known as 'The Manor' by its residents and it became a hotbed of partying and hard drinking – followed by small-hours excursions.

It was there that Margot began her relationship with her husband, Surrey-born film-maker Tom, and had what she describes as 'the best times'.

She even reportedly instigated a compulsory 'house tattoo', with every member getting the same design. 

The lease on the property was originally signed in early 2014, shortly after the release of the film which would make her name – Martin Scorcese's The Wolf Of Wall Street, in which she played seductress Naomi Lapaglia opposite Leonardo DiCaprio.

In snap one from April 2014, captioned 'the house degenerates', a brunette Margot is almost unrecognisable as she poses on a roof with her new housemates.

'I was like a naughty schoolgirl,' she told Vanity Fair. 'It was my first time living in London properly and I wanted to try every pub. I'm not going to look thin just for the sake of it.'

Another photo on her friend's Instagram account shows Margot posing at South West Four, an electronic dance festival held on Clapham Common. 

She has even admitted to frequenting tacky local nightclub Infernos, renowned for its sticky dancefloor and cheesy 1990s music playlist.

Appearing on the Table Manners podcast this week, Margot admitted she was even thrown out of 'most of the clubs in Clapham' including Infernos. 

Speaking to Jessie and Lennie Ware, Margot explained how her roommates had initially told her about the former Cinema while she was working in Belgium and how you 'can't get kicked out' - which she unintentionally put to the test.

Margot said: 'So we all had a weekend in London when the job was done. And of course, we went to Infernos, and within about 15 minutes, we got kicked out.

'And while we're getting dragged out by security, I was screaming, “but this is Infernos, you can’t get kicked out of Infernos.”

'And the bouncer was like, “Look, we allow most things, but when your friend does [redacted], then we kick you out”. And I was like, “okay, fair enough!”'

Margot did not reveal what her friend had done to alert security, but went on to admit: 'Most of the clubs in Clapham, I'd say, have kicked us out.

'Yeah, for a while we were banned at a number of places! [..] So we ended up all deciding to move in together.'

She explained: 'I had gone back to America at that point, and so we were looking online, and the guys were like, “Oh, it's a sign this place is down the road from Infernos”. So we literally signed our lease just because it was down the road from Infernos.'

While on the cusp of stardom, pictures posted by the actress's friend group on social media in 2014 suggest a hard-drinking lifestyle a world away from the fakery of LA.

One, captioned 'the house degenerates', shows a brunette Margot wearing black boots, posing with her housemates atop a roof, sticking two fingers up at the camera, wearing a T-shirt with the slogan 'Oscars Bait' (in 2018 Margot would be nominated for an Academy Award for her role in I, Tonya about infamous ice skater Tonya Harding).

Another shows a pile of bin bags outside the house filled with empty beer cans.

But Margot has always insisted her pleasures are far more earthly. She extolled the unlikely joys of living in Clapham in an interview with luxury London lifestyle magazine The Resident in 2017.

'For me, where you live and what you do have to be simplistic and comfortable, otherwise how are you possibly going to relax?' she said.

'Clapham has always felt unassuming in the sense that you're just left alone to get on with who you are, and that's perfect. But I like living with lots of people. It reminds me of the house I grew up in.'

The housemates got on so well that in 2015, four of them — Robbie, Ackerley, Sophia Kerr and Josey McNamara — founded production company, Lucky Chap. 

Now worth an estimated £25million, its remit is to 'make female stories', producing I, Tonya in 2017, Promising Young Woman, starring Carey Mulligan, in 2020 — both of which won Oscars - Barbie, and now Wuthering Heights. 

It was playing a supporting role in the World War II movie Suite Francaise that Margot first met her future husband, Tom, who was its assistant director, in 2013. 

After moving in together with friends, Margo admitted in an interview with Elle in 2018 that she and Tom had initially decided to keep their romantic relationship to themselves.

'We kept it a secret. Because we weren't really taking it seriously. 'Oh, whatever, we're just mates, we're just mates.' And then… everyone found out,' she explained.

On her friends finding out, she recalled: 'It was dramatic. I'm not going into the details, but s**t hit the fan. Our house turned into The Jerry Springer Show for a moment there. But then the dust settled, and it was all good.'

She and Tom left their house share for their own home in West London before moving to Los Angeles in 2017, they wed the year before in a private ceremony in Byron Bay.

There was no engagement announcement and no suggestion they were set to marry at all until Margot was pictured at Gold Coast airport in December 2016 wearing a T-shirt with the slogan 'Say 'I Do' Down Under.'

However before her wedding to Tom, Margot made sure to honour her love of British culture once again with a boozy Harry Potter-themed hen do, with a stripper.

She recalled: 'My friends got a stripper and made him do Harry Potter. It was so funny and not sexy, and like, he was like, in a robe with the glasses, the scar, and you know, all the innuendo that you can imagine.

'And it was very, very funny, but we were all so drunk, it really didn't matter, to be honest!'

In January 2024, Margot admitted she's 'so lucky' to have a 'normie' husband in film producer who isn't 'fazed' by the spotlight.

The Barbie star said she was grateful to have a spouse who she can work alongside and also insisted her friends would much prefer to talk about non-work stuff when they hang out as it's more 'fun'.

She told E! News at the  at Santa Barbara's Barker Hangar: 'I am so lucky. He likes being behind the camera, he's not fazed by any of this stuff, he's just the best. It's so fun. I love the word 'normie'.  

Seemingly a true Londoner at heart, unlike most of the city's commuters, Margot has also shared her surprising love for the tube. 

While she certainly has the finances to travel in a more lucrative style she previously told The Mirror at the premiere for Babylon in 2023: 'I actually have two Oyster cards in my wallet right now. I always get the Tube.' 

And when asked if she has been on the newest Elizabeth line she said: 'I haven't but I hear its lovely!'

Margot is also a self-proclaimed Love Island super fan and it seemed all her dreams had come true after she met iconic islanders  Culcologlu, , and  at a Barbie after party back in 2023. 

Taking to Instagram on the night, season eight winner Ekin-Su shared a carousel of snaps with Margot as they posed in front of the Barbie logo. 

She wrote: 'We queens' on a selfie before uploading a full length picture of them both with the caption 'I can't' atop of it alongside a smiling-crying face emoji.

Margot previously revealed that she found the pair's season the 'best Love Island season ever', adding: 'Paige [Thorne] has probably been my favourite — but for pure entertainment I think Davide and Ekin-Su have made the season.'

Explaining her love for the series, she added: 'Love Island reminds me of living in London — watching it with my girlfriends when everybody was home from work.'

But Love Island isn't the only British TV Margot loves, it was revealed last week she also has a passion for TV presenter royalty Ant and Dec. 

Speaking on their new Hanging Out with Ant and Dec podcast, the Geordie duo revealed that Cara Delevingne once slid into their DMs in the hope of securing a birthday message for 'superfan' Margot. 

Cara, 33, reached out to the TV duo, both 50, as she was heading to the Barbie actresses, 35, birthday bash and hoped to secure a surprise present.
