Margot Robbie, the rising star who has been gaining fame for over a decade, recently spoke about her personal life during her appearance at the 2024 Critics Choice Awards. While she has thrived professionally in the spotlight, she revealed that she did not seek the same for her personal life. The Academy Award-nominated actress expressed her happiness about being married to her "normie" husband, Tom Ackerley, who is not a Hollywood celebrity.
Margot Robbie has been open about the challenges and scrutiny that come with being in the spotlight. As a result, she made a conscious decision not to date actors and instead sought a normal life off-camera.
In 2016, she married producer Tom Ackerley, and they have been happily married for seven years. Robbie recently shared her delight in their marriage, appreciating the simplicity of a life outside the extravagance of Hollywood.
Ackerley, who started his career as an extra in the Harry Potter films, met Robbie on the set of the movie Suite Française and they quickly fell in love. Robbie has spoken fondly about her husband's involvement in the Harry Potter franchise and joked that she would have married him sooner if she had known.
After his stint as an extra, Ackerley pursued studies and then returned to Hollywood, working behind the scenes as an assistant director.
The couple's professional collaboration eventually blossomed into a romantic relationship, leading to their marriage. They also co-founded LuckyChap Entertainment in 2014, which co-produced the hit film Barbie in 2023. Robbie expressed her gratitude for having a partner who is not fazed by the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, and who prefers to be behind the camera. She described him as the best and emphasized their enjoyment of simply hanging out and talking about other things.
Margot Robbie's rise to fame has been remarkable, and her success in both her personal and professional life is evident. She continues to captivate audiences with her talent, while also cherishing her marriage to her "normie" husband, Tom Ackerley.
