Margot Robbies Accent Secrets Uncovered After Neighbours

Margot Robbie recently shared how her accent was 'too Aussie' - even for the Australian soap opera, Neighbours.  

And now Prime Video has revealed what the Queensland-born actress really sounded like before she refined her local twang. 

In a video shared to TikTok this week, Margot, who played Donna Freedman on the series, can be heard delivering her lines in a broad Aussie accent. 

'Everyone's already left!' she cries out in the clip, in which she is wearing a bridesmaid's dress. 

The thick Australian inflections in her speech are unmistakable as Margot added, 'Are you kidding me?' and lamented that her taxi will take, 'an hour.'

Fans in the comments section were quick to poke fun at Margot's pronunciation.

'An ouwwwher? (An hour)' joked one person, while another one added, 'To think this was AFTER a dialogue coach.'

'The way she says "I am" kills me and I'm Australian,' said someone else, with one more chiming in, 'OH NAUUURRRRR!' 

The Barbie actress last week revealed that producers asked her to tone down her ocker twang when she won the role of Donna Freedman on the series back in 2008.

'I haven't done really an Aussie accent since I was on Neighbours,' she said in a recent chat with Graham Norton.

'This isn't as Queensland. My accent used to be so strong.'

Margot continued: 'They got a dialect coach for me because I was too Australian for Neighbours.

'I was like, I couldn't hear that I had a bad accent, so I was like, "what do ya mean",' the 35-year-old joked, while demonstrating her natural accent.

The star explained that she worked with a dialect coach to tone down her natural speech.

'They were like, "you're just awful to listen to. We're going to send you off to work with this woman, and it'll round out your accent",' Margot said.

Prior to making the jump to Hollywood, Robbie's profile grew considerably thanks to her work on Australian television, and especially on the long-running soap opera Neighbours, which came to an end in 2025 after 40 years on the air. 

Robbie's initial run on the series was from 2008 through 2011, when she appeared on more than 350 episodes. 

She also had guest spots on the Australian shows City Homicide and Review With Myles Barlow in 2008, but she has primarily focused on film acting since her 2013 breakthrough.

Her latest major film is a new adaptation of Emily Brontë's iconic novel Wuthering Heights.
