Margot Elise Robbie’s parents divorced when she was a small child. She grew up living with her mother, a physiotherapist, in the Gold Coast area of Australia before moving to Melbourne in her teenage years to pursue acting professionally. She told Vanity Fair that she thought she might be a magician, but an interest in drama in high school led her to a kids’ show, The Elephant Princess, co-starring the up-and-coming Liam Hemsworth.
