Margot Robbie Barbie Husband

We're getting closer and closer to finally getting to see the endlessly hyped Barbie movie, starring Margot Robbie, which has been ten years in the making.

Though the official film starring the Australian-born actress as Stereotypical Barbie and directed by Greta Gerwig, who wrote the movie with partner Noah Baumbach, was only confirmed in 2019, Hollywood has been trying to make a Barbie movie as far back as 2009.

It started when Mattel signed a deal with Universal Pictures in 2009, though it wasn't until 2014 that Sony Pictures started developing a script from

In 2016, Amy Schumer was announced as Barbie, though by the following year, she was out, and Anne Hathaway was in instead. Then she was also out, and now, ten years later, we've finally landed on Margot, who in a new cover story with Vogue, talked about finally getting the flick onto the big screen, where it lands July 21.

Movie had already garnered such a reputation of impossibility, that when Margot first read the Greta-Noah script with her husband, Tom Ackerley, their initial reaction was: It is such a shame that we're never going to be able to make this movie.

We just looked at each other, pure panic on our faces, she now recalls after thinking how genius the script, of which little has yet to be revealed today, was. She and her husband, who she married in 2016, serve as producers of Barbie via their company LuckyChap. She in fact signed on as producer much before she ever even imagined herself as Barbie.

I was very scared it was going to be a no, she remembers thinking when it was time to pitch herself to both Mattel and Warner Bros. She adds: At the time this was such a terrifying thing to take on. People were like, 'You're going to do what?'

Reveals that ahead of filming, Greta threw a slumber party for the Barbies (which include Dua Lipa, Issa Rae, Emma Mackey, Nicola Coughlan, and others) at the Claridge's Hotel in London, and, keeping on the theme of She's everything… he's Ken, the Kens (Ryan Gosling, Simu Liu, Scott Evans) were invited to stop by, but not to sleep over.

While Ryan wasn't able to make it, the outlet reports he sent a singing telegram in the form of an older Scottish man in a kilt who played bagpipes and delivered the speech from Braveheart. Speaking of Ryan as Ken, Margot says his performance is: The greatest version of Ryan Gosling ever put on screen, of which he simply says: Ken wasn't really on my bucket list. But in fairness, I don't have a bucket list. So I thought I'd give it a shot.

Who Is Tom Ackerley?

Margot was determined to ensure he gave it a real shot, and Ryan reveals: She left a pink present with a pink bow, from Barbie to Ken, every day while we were filming. They were all beach-related. Like puka shells, or a sign that says 'Pray for surf, ' adding: I felt like she was trying to help Ken understand, through these gifts that she was giving.

What's more, to make sure everyone was in Barbie mode, LuckyChap, Margot's production company, hosted weekly movie screenings at the Electric Cinema in London's Notting Hill, where the cast and crew were invited each Sunday to watch a different movie that was used for reference in Barbie, and they called it movie church.

Since then, the 31-year-old has amassed her $26 million (£21.15 million) fortune partly for her role as the whacky Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad, Birds of Prey and The Suicide Squad, according to Celebrity Net Worth. And her work doesn't stop there, because Margot is currently working on her next live-action film, where she will play the iconic Barbie doll alongside Ryan Gosling as Ken.

But, not many people may know Margot is married to Tom Ackerley, who has strong Surrey links. In a bid to get to know the British film producer, we've done some digging into Tom and this is what we found.

The former assistant director was born on 13 June 1990 in Surrey and is the youngest of three brothers. He grew up in Guildford and attended Godalming College.

He began his film career as an extra in the first three installments of the Harry Potter film series and, following a break, he returned to the industry as a production runner for films such as Gambit (2012) and Rush (2013). Tom met Margot on the set of Suite Française in 2013 when he was the assistant director and she played the supporting role of Celine, before she rocketed to fame. The pair began dating the following year.

Amid his blossoming relationship, Tom managed to raise £2, 200 with his two brothers and friend for the Guildford disability charity Challengers in the 2016 RideLondon event. Following three years of romance and living together with flatmates in London, the pair finally tied the knot near her hometown Dalby, on the Gold Coast.

The Gold Coast was somewhere she always wanted to get married, given it's where she was raised as a kid, on her grandparents' farm, an insider previously told Australia's Women's Day magazine. Tom initially wanted to get married in the UK but he knows how much it means to Margot to tie the knot on home soil and how special it is for her, so he didn't put up much of a fight.

They decided to marry around Christmas so they could spend time with both their families afterwards, which they've never done before, the source added. Guests at the low-key ceremony were asked not to spread the word about the nuptials, so Margot and Tom managed to keep it a total secret.

Now the happy couple live in Venice, Los Angeles, but the A-List actress has not ruled out them moving back Down Under to start a family. Speaking to Aussie TV show The Project in 2016, she said: They'll be here. The kids will be in Australia.

And referring to Tom, she said: He loves Australia. He's like, 'I don't know why anyone leaves Australia! The family give him hell for being a pommie! When he comes for Christmas everybody's like, 'Oh, the pommie!'
