Margot Robbie has admitted she’s ‘so lucky’ to have a ‘normie’ husband in film producer Tom Ackerley who isn’t ‘fazed’ by the spotlight.
The Barbie star, 33, is grateful to have a spouse who she can work alongside in the same industry, and also insists 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 Critics Choice Awards at Santa Barbara’s Barker Hangar on Sunday: ‘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’.
‘Like All my friends, everyone’s kind of like, “That’s cool what you do.” But you know, it’s more cool to hang out and talk about other stuff. And you’re like, “I know.”‘

The pair went on to become roommates with a group of other friends and lived together in a property in London.
In an interview with Elle in 2018, she admitted 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.’
