The 2013 war romance film “Suite Française” saw the blossoming of love between Australian actress Margot Robbie and British film producer Tom Ackerley during filming. Tom served as a third assistant director behind the scenes, while Margot had a supporting role. Though she didn’t plan on dating, Margot couldn’t help but fall in love with Tom, teasingly referring to him as “the most handsome guy in London.”
Tom and Margot had already started blazing their trails in the movie business. Tom began his “Harry Potter” career as an extra before moving into behind-the-scenes duties. In the meantime, Margot began her acting career in her home Australia at the age of 17, and she finally landed a part with Leonardo DiCaprio in Martin Scorsese’s “The Wolf of Wall Street.”
Their relationship went beyond love. They teamed up with two of their closest friends, Josie McNamara and Sophia Kerr, in 2014 to launch their own production business, LuckyChap Entertainment. The basis for this creative collaboration was established by the connection that Tom and McNamara shared as assistant directors, as well as by Margot and Sophia’s childhood acquaintances on Australia’s Gold Coast.Their shared residence and professional collaboration served as a creative catalyst. In “I, Tonya,” one of their most well-known collaborations, Margot not only co-produced the movie but also gave a highly regarded performance that got her nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress.
Margot and Tom shocked their followers by getting married in Byron Bay, Australia, in December 2016. Margot’s immediate family attended the little wedding, and the couple decided to spend their honeymoon on the beautiful island of Tahiti once the movie wrapped.Margot and Tom, in contrast to many Hollywood couples, would rather keep their relationship under wraps. Except for a few business gatherings like the 2017 Academy Awards, when they enthusiastically backed “I, Tonya,” joint appearances are uncommon.
With prominent parts in blockbuster movies like “Dreamland,” “Scandal,” “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” and “Suicide Squad,” Margot’s career has taken off in the last few years. They have a close relationship despite their hectic schedules, which frequently keep them apart. Margot acknowledges Tom as her pillar of support.
Tom is committed to transforming LuckyChap Entertainment into a venue for up-and-coming artists and stories featuring female protagonists. Their smart approach and Greta Gerwig’s outstanding directing skills produced the 2023 summer blockbuster “Barbie,” which was a movie office triumph. This reinvented version of the classic doll struck a chord with viewers all across the world, encouraging uniqueness and shattering preconceptions.
Margot told Vogue that she had an abundantly happy life with Tom. He is her pillar of support as she faces the challenges of filmmaking. They don’t presently have plans to have children, but Margot laughs and says she’s still learning how to take care of their two dogs.
The narrative of Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley is one of constant support, shared enthusiasm, and a dedication to artistic cooperation.
As they make their way through the fast-paced world of Hollywood, their special friendship never fails to inspire.
