The mystery of Margot Robbie's age is finally solved

The latest ‘it’ girl Margot Robbie, from Queensland, Australia is taking Hollywood by storm, she started out on the Aussie soap, Neighbours, and is now starring opposite celebs such as Will Smith, Leonardo DiCaprio and the like.

Margot claims she is 25, but an article from SMH in 2008 states she was [cue the I KNEW IT comments]23 then which means she is now 30.

Excerpt from the article:

"The fresh crop of Neighbours actors was in Sydney yesterday. One of the newest, Margot Robbie, had her first appearance on air on Monday, playing a groupie with stalker tendencies. The 23-year-old actress from the Gold Coast opted to attend a Sex And The City: The Movie screening instead of staying home to watch the episode."

OOP

She looks 25 and she looked young in neighbours.

I guess it's not possible that the SMH got it wrong in 2008, huh? Cause that never happens, right?

so she was actually 17 then?

30 makes sense

its sad she has to lie about her age

Agreed. I still don't buy that JLaw is 24 either

Seriously JLaw? She still has a baby face and she was in that show on TBS when she was a teen.

She looks really young in 'Winter's Bone'.

Really? I think JLaw looks her age

I think she is. She looked really young in her first few movies.

I do

Seriously.

My first thoughts.

I agree, why the fuck aren't women allowed to age.

why are people so obsessed with *exposing* women's ages

We can't let these evil wenches pretend to be young instead of taking their rightful place on the scrap heap.

women are seen as inherently dishonest--Hollywood women with their makeup and airbrushing even more so--and folks will go to any length to prove that idea right

because age clearly matters over talent and shit

Because women are liars and the world needs expose them. Lying about your age is a serious issue

to banish the idea that women older than 24 are "past their prime"

because it shows that PERFECTLY ATTRACTIVE AND BEAUTIFUL WOMEN still have to lie and make themselves seem younger in order to be viewed as desirable, which is bullshit.

nobody is really coming after her for this, just the hollywood machine.

It's awful. Because Hollywood is so hostile to women over 30, so you know what, if these women want to shave a few years off their age so they have a better shot at getting roles, LET THEM.

Don't worry, it happens to Black men too..

I hate how it's another one of those things where it's like...women feel pressured to do something and then they get made fun of for doing it (or they'd get made fun of if they hadn't done it too). There's just no winning. Idk, I sympathize - women are made to feel useless and disposable by the time they hit 30 (if not earlier) and Hollywood has hardly any roles for women past their 20s

We're nosy

It's pathetic tbh

It makes me sad people care that much or that they even need to lie about something like that

seriously, who fucking cares.

This only seems to ever happen when someone is LYING about their age...which is a shitty thing to do

oop

literally who cares

sucks that she felt she had to lie about it though.

she does look mature but not in a bad way.

I mean most of my 30 year old white Australian friends have faces like the bottom of a leather boot from sun damage so whatever she still looks amazing

lmao

lol idk any 30 yeas olds but even the ones in their early 20s... woof

So savage lmao

true. i'm 20 now and i have a baby face and i'm holding onto it 4 dear life

who's on your icon?

I had a baby face until 30--the kind where people refused to believe i wasn't a teenager at 25. Being blonde and small didn't help. I used to constantly get comments from randoms.

Then I had kids, lol.

Damn have they heard of sunblock or...?

Lmao

lmao

lool

LOL damn

this is how i feel about my white friends from arizona
like i love them and everything but it seems evolutionarily disadvantageous to live in such a sunny state ya know

It was pretty obvious she's at least in her early 30s.

I knew it.

People are always oddly invested in women's ages. No one double checks to make sure if male celebs are the age they say they are because no one cares in this sexiest industry.

yep unfortunately they don't even need to lie about it

Exactly. Posts like these expose ONTD's inherent hypocrisy so well though.

I hate it.

True, I honestly do not care about an actress's age. It is but a number. All I care about is if they play the part well.

devil's advocate here, but people do go to lengths to try and expose men's height.

And yet short men can stand on a box or the other actors have to stand on a lower level. It doesn't suddenly kill their Hollywood career like aging does women's.

IKR, there's no way Idris Elba is 43, he looks so old. And Michael Fassbender is 38?! Please.

well the reason i "care" (i feel like thats putting it a bit strongly) is because it just adds more bullshit to the already unattainable image hollywood projects. when we find out these actresses real age it takes away some of the pressure women feel to look a certain way

Ding ding ding.

agreed, this is ridiculous and vile, they need to fuck off and mind their own business. oh wait--I forgot this is humanity we were talking about. smh

Mhm it's ridiculous. :/

Yep, they wouldn't lose a single role.

But let a woman being older than 30. The role she wants will gets passed to a 23 year old.

yep

ugh ikr

well then..

i don't get how famous people think they can get away with lying about such a simple thing as their age in this time of globalization and internet. like surely, there's a bazillion clues like high school graduation, people she knows in real life, etc. like how do you even think you can get away with it.....?

I lie on my resume to get jobs all the time lol

Sis was just trying to survive out there in hollywood and now that she sorta made it, she probably doesn't even care that she's ~exposed~. Especially if it's something non-consequential like her age.

They don't do it to "get away with" they do it because they want jobs when they're starting out and the lie makes them more marketable in an industry where younger is always better and if it comes out later after they've proven they were a bankable star who can play younger, they've already gotten roles and made a name and it's less of an issue

Yeah esp if they make it. The more famous you are the more invasive ppl become.
