Actor, Producer, Executive

Birthdate: July 2, 1990 (35 Years Old)

Birthplace: Dalby, Queensland, Australia

Margot Robbie (birthname: Margot Elise Robbie) has become a widely acclaimed actor capable of colorful, sometimes wildly theatrical expressions, as well as a rising producer for feature films and television. Robbie landed a major supporting role in her first significant film, writer-director Richard Curtis’s rom-com, About Time (2013), starring Domhnall Gleeson, Rachel McAdams, Bill Nighy, and Tom Hollander. Robbie grabbed Hollywood’s attention in the same year with the only prominent female role in Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street (2013), starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, Matthew McConaughey, Kyle Chandler, Rob Reiner, Jon Favreau, and Jean Dujardin, and earning $392 million worldwide, Scorsese’s top-grossing film to date. Robbie then starred in Craig Zobel’s striking last-man-on-Earth drama, Z for Zacharia (2015), with Chiwetel Ejiofor and Chris Pine. Robbie’s next studio (Warner) project was co-writer-directors Glenn Ficarra and John Requa’s Focus (2015), with Will Smith, earning $158 million worldwide and continuing Robbie’s box office success rate. Robbie played support to Michelle Williams, Kristin Scott Thomas, and Matthias Schoenaerts in her first period film, Suite Francaise (2015), while a sign of her increasing star profile happened in Adam McKay’s dark comedy, The Big Short (2015), in which she appeared as herself in a cameo. Robbie reunited with directors Ficarra and Requa for the war comedy-drama, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot (2016), starring Tina Fey, Martin Freeman, Alfred Molina, and Billy Bob Thornton. Robbie co-starred opposite Alexander Skarsgård, Samuel L. Jackson, Djimon Hounsou, Jim Broadbent, and Christoph Waltz in director David Yates’ The Legend of Tarzan (2016), grossing over $357 million. Robbie’s star-making role followed as Harley Quinn in writer-director David Ayer’s DC Extended Universe hit, Suicide Squad (2016), with Will Smith, Jared Leto, Joel Kinnaman, Viola Davis, and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje scoring over $746 million worldwide. Robbie’s first project as lead star and producer came in 2017 with her Oscar-nominated Best Actress turn in I, Tonya, with Allison Janney (who won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar), Sebastian Stan, Julianne Nicholson, and Bobby Cannavale. Robbie then reunited with Domhnall Gleeson in the A.A. Milne biopic, Goodbye Christopher Robin (2017), with Kelly Macdonald, followed by a vocal role in the 2018 animated version of Peter Rabbit, again opposite Gleeson, and James Corden, Rose Byrne, Sam Neill, and Elizabeth Debicki—which continued in 2021 with the sequel, Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway, again directed by Will Gluck—both earning a combined worldwide gross exceeding $500 million. Robbie’s first commercial failure came with her second star-producer project, writer-director Vaughn Stein’s thriller, Terminal (2018), with Simon Pegg and Mike Myers. Margot Robbie was able to strut her stuff in the lavish British drama Mary Queen of Scots (2018), opposite Saoirse Ronan, directed by Josie Rourke, and featuring Guy Pearce and Jack Lowden. Robbie's third star-producer project for the thriller Dreamland was released in 2019, co-starring Finn Cole, Garrett Hedlund, and Kerry Condon. Robbie made a bigger splash in 2019 as the starlet Sharon Tate in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, with Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt, earning nearly $375 million worldwide after its Cannes Film Festival premiere and ten Oscar nominations and two Oscar wins. Robbie’s own Oscar bid (a Best Supporting Actress nomination) happened that same year with director Jay Roach’s Fox News-based Bombshell, co-starring Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman, John Lithgow, Allison Janney, and Malcolm McDowell. Margot Robbie revived her Harley Quinn role in her fourth film as star-producer, Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn), with Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Jurnee Smollett-Bell, and extending the role in writer-director James Gunn’s own take on the DC Extended Universe saga, The Suicide Squad (2021), with Idris Elba, John Cena, Joel Kinnaman, Sylvester Stallone, and Viola Davis. Robbie earned her first producer accolade (from the Producers Guild of America) for Emerald Fennell’s feminist revenge thriller, Promising Young Woman (2020), with Carey Mulligan, Bo Burnham, Jennifer Coolidge, and Laverne Cox. Robbie’s first role in a sequel in over two years happened in the fall of 2022 with David O. Russell’s comedy, Amsterdam, with John David Washington and Christian Bale. Robbie’s 2022 was capped by writer-director Damien Chazelle’s period Hollywood epic, Babylon, starring Brad Pitt, followed by two major 2023 projects: Greta Gerwig’s Barbie, with Robbie (also producer) enacting the iconic title character opposite Ryan Gosling’s Ken, and Wes Anderson’s Asteroid City, with a massive cast led by Tom Hanks, Adrien Brody, Bryan Cranston, Tilda Swinton, and Jeffrey Wright. Robbie launched another potential franchise project with the tentatively titled Untitled Margot Robbie Ocean Eleven Film (date to be announced), co-starring Gosling and directed by Jay Roach. Robbie in the meantime joined co-star Colin Farrell in the romantic fantasy directed by Kogonanda, A Big Bold Beautiful Journey (2025), by screenwriter Seth Reiss (who also produced), with a cast including Kevin Kline, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Lily Rabe, Jodie Turner-Smith, Billy Magnussen and Sarah Gadon, and released wide by Sony Pictures Releasing via lead producer Columbia Pictures. Robbie took on the role of Catherine Earnshaw as well as a lead producer for director/writer/producer Emerald Fennell’s loose adaptation of Emily Brontë’s 1847 novel, Wuthering Heights (2026), opposite co-star Jacob Elordi (as Heathcliff), with Hong Chau and Shazad Latif, and which was produced and released by Warner Bros. Pictures. Robbie was producer on three consecutive features after Barbie, including director/writer/producer Emerald Fennell’s black comedy, Saltburn (2023), starring Barry Keoghan, Jacob Elordi, Rosamund Pike, Richard E. Grant and Carey Mulligan, premiering at the Telluride Film Festival and released by Amazon MGM Studios (U.S.)/Warner Bros. Pictures (U.K., Ireland); director/writer Megan Park’s coming-of-age comedy, My Old Ass (2024), co-starring Maisy Stella and Aubrey Plaza, with Maddie Ziegler and Percy Hynes White, and released by Amazon MGM Studios (U.S.)/Warner Bros. Pictures (Australia, Canada, New Zealand); and director/writer Jimmy Warden’s comedy thriller, Borderline (2025), co-starring Samara Weaving, Ray Nicholson, Jimmie Falls and Eric Dane, and released by Magnet Releasing.
