Margot Robbie Childhood

A series of rare, never-seen-before childhood photos offer an intimate insight into the star's early years. Sporting thick bangs and a beaming smile, a young Margot looks ready for adventure and barely recognisable from the Hollywood A-lister we know today. 

Margot once mentioned: All my fondest memories are outdoors. The first thing that comes to mind is playing outside, in the backyard, making cubbies, going out to the farm, going to the rockpool.

Margot's sense of mischief also came through when she recalled how she scared off a nanny by staging her own death scene.

She told the BBC: We got a new babysitter, and I wanted my old babysitter back. So, I decided to give her a scare. I covered myself in ketchup and lay next to a kitchen knife. And I waited for like 45 minutes for her to find me. But, it was worth the wait.

But this wasn't the only time young Margot's dramatics caused a stir. The star also revealed another prank, this one causing such a commotion that an ambulance was called.
