As she navigates the twists and turns of fame, Margot Robbie, the enchanting star of 'Barbie' at the age of 35, has made a deliberate effort to keep her private life under wraps, particularly to shield her son from the relentless gaze of the public eye. The little one arrived in October 2024, a precious blessing shared with her husband Tom Ackerley, also 35.
In a recent interview with British Vogue, Robbie shared her resolve to maintain a veil of privacy around her personal life, stating, "I'm trying to keep that side of things private and protect him." She reflected on her earlier days in the industry, when she freely spoke her mind in interviews but was often misquoted or misconstrued by the press. "I've been burned so many times when people have taken what I've said out of context," she mused. "And I read stuff all the time where people put me in quotation marks saying things I’ve never said."
The Australian actress, who tied the knot with Ackerley in December 2016, revealed that reaching her 30s was a turning point in establishing clearer boundaries. "When you shift from your 20s to your 30s and beyond, you think, 'I am going to do things differently. Here are my new boundaries,'" she added with a sense of resolve.
Moreover, Robbie opened up about her experience filming 'Wuthering Heights' just three months after giving birth. "I was in a very different headspace. I didn't do my usual routine. It was more haphazard," she confessed to the outlet. The writer-director Emerald Fennell's encouragement to focus on the present moment rather than preparation was a "lovely way of relieving my anxiety," she noted. "It was about being in my body as opposed to my head," she concluded with a sense of tranquility.
