At the 2024 Critics Choice Awards, Margot Robbie, the acclaimed actress and producer, offered a rare glimpse into her marriage with husband Tom Ackerley, highlighting why she feels “so lucky” to be with him. The couple, who usually keeps their relationship low-key, shared a special moment in the spotlight as they celebrated the success of their film “Barbie,” which received a remarkable 18 nominations and won several awards at the ceremony.
Robbie, known for her stellar performances on screen and her impressive producing skills behind the scenes, has been riding high on the success of “Barbie,” a project she collaborated on with Ackerley. Despite their Hollywood careers, the couple has managed to keep their personal life private, with Robbie often expressing her admiration for Ackerley’s preference to stay out of the limelight.
During an interview with E! News’ Chief Correspondent Keltie Knight on the red carpet, Robbie couldn’t help but gush about her husband, describing him as a “normie” who enjoys being behind the camera and remains unfazed by the glitz and glamour of the entertainment industry.
“I am so lucky,” Robbie expressed, acknowledging Ackerley’s supportive and grounded nature. “He likes being behind the camera. He’s not fazed by any of this stuff.” She went on to praise his down-to-earth personality, emphasizing how refreshing it is to have someone who values simplicity and genuine connection over the allure of fame.
“He’s just the best, it’s so fun,” Robbie continued, reflecting on their relationship dynamic. “I love the word ‘normie,’ yes, like all my friends, everyone’s like, ‘That’s cool what you do but it’s more fun just to hang out and talk about other stuff.’ And you’re like, ‘I know.'”
Robbie and Ackerley’s love story began on the set of the 2014 film “Suite Française,” where they first met. Despite initially forming a friendship, Robbie confessed to Vogue in 2016 that she harbored a secret crush on Ackerley from the start. Their bond eventually blossomed into a romantic relationship, culminating in a private wedding ceremony in December 2016.
