Margot and her husband, English film producer, actor, and assistant director Tom Ackerley, co-founded production company LuckyChap Entertainment.
She is the daughter of Sarie Kessler, a physiotherapist, and Doug Robbie, who owned a farm and traded in sugarcane. The surname Robbie is Scottish. Margot’s mother is from a community of German and Sorbian settlers in Australia, most of whose ancestors moved to the country in the 1800s, with remote Polish ancestry. Margot was raised mostly by her mother, and grew up on her grandparents’ farm in Currumbin Valley, in the hinterlands of the Gold Coast. Margot and Tom have one child.
Margot’s maternal grandfather was Herbert Justus Kessler (the son of Johannes Justus Kessler and Erna Dolcia Kowald). Margot’s grandfather Herbert was born in Clifton, Queensland. Johannes was born in Germany, the son of Justus Heinrich Kessler and Christina Bange. Erna was born in Australia, the daughter of Johannes Berthold Kowald, whose father was from Silesia, Prussia and whose mother was from Brandenburg, Prussia; and of Louise Lydia Paech, who also had roots in Brandenburg.
Margot’s maternal grandmother was Verna Mibus (the daughter of Edmund Oswald Mibus and Sophie/Sophia Mirtschin). Verna was born in Victoria, Australia. Edmund was the son of German parents, Ludwig Christian/Paul Mibus, who was born in Gmina Nekla/Neckla, Hauland, Posen, Poland, and who likely had a Polish grandfather; and of Valentine Israel, whose family was from Görlitz. Valentine’s father, Margot’s great-great-great-grandfather, was named Carl August Leberecht Israel. Margot’s great-grandmother Sophie Mirtschin was the daughter of Andreas Mirtschin/Mirtschen, whose parents were German, from Steindörfel, Bautzen, Sachsen, and Klein, Totswitz, Prussia, respectively; and of Johanne/Johanna Pauline/Paulina Emma Hempel, who was also born in Sachsen.

She has always come across to me as more American than Australian. Maybe because when most White Aussies are mostly of the British Isles descent, especially English, most American White tend to be mostly of German and British Isles descent.
She looks like a French girl
No no me as Euro from Europe I think seems German because of her eagle face and strong features instead French are softer.
She and her husband, Thomas Francis Michael Ackerley (who is English) are expecting soon. I wonder if he’s as melting pot as she is, or if he’s another one of those English people who have no foreign ancestry past the middle ages, who for whatever reason always end end up marrying melting pot yanks and aussies?
shame of —– —-, totally —-
People really just say the dumbest —- that comes to their minds, on here.
Could have been said in jest and irony.
@Oaken05, I agree. you say the dumbest things and when pressed on it run away like a baby.
loool
Super talented and a very beautiful lady.
Your clearly biased when saying she is super talented.
Are you German?
You took it in a wrong way that doesn’t make me biased I have watched suicide squad a lot of her movies that is my opinion.
You seem to have some feud with Germans don’t you by the way some of my friends are Germans.
in actuality you are a white hating guy.
I take it back wont let me delete comment I’ve actually always thought she was good at her job. Beautiful too.
At this point in her career since she’s been doing it for many years she makes it look easy. Comes with experience.
