Hollywood actress Margot Robbie has disclosed a humorous anecdote from her time residing in London, revealing that she was once ejected from the infamous Infernos nightclub in Clapham. The 35-year-old Australian star, known for roles in films like Barbie and The Wolf of Wall Street, shared this story during an appearance on the Table Manners podcast hosted by Jessie and Lennie Ware.
From Paradise to Ejection in Minutes
Robbie explained that she first heard about Infernos from friends she met while working on a job in Belgium. They described the venue as a place where "you can do anything" and claimed it was impossible to get kicked out. Intrigued, Robbie and her friends decided to visit Infernos during a weekend trip to London after their work concluded.
However, the reality was far from the paradise they had imagined. Within approximately 15 minutes of arriving, the group was forcibly removed by security. Robbie recalled screaming at the bouncers, "But this is Infernos, you can't get kicked out of Infernos!" The bouncer responded by stating that while they allow most things, certain actions cross the line, leading to ejection. Robbie conceded, saying, "Okay, fair enough," though she did not specify what exactly prompted their removal.
A Pattern of Club Bans in South London
When asked by podcast host Lennie Ware how many clubs she had been kicked out of, Robbie admitted that "most of the clubs in Clapham" had ejected her and her friends. She added that they were even banned from several venues for a period. This shared experience of being barred from local nightlife ultimately influenced their living arrangements.
Robbie revealed that after she returned to America, her friends found a flat to rent down the road from Infernos. They saw it as a sign and promptly signed the lease, primarily because of its proximity to the notorious club. This decision highlights the quirky and memorable nature of their time in London.
Local Connections and Premiere Invitations
Beyond her nightclub escapades, Robbie also shared a charming story about befriending the owners of her local off-licence in Clapham. She invited them to a film premiere, but they were skeptical of her fame. Robbie recounted showing them an invitation with her face next to Will Smith, only for them to mistakenly believe she was Will Smith. Despite her efforts, they did not attend the premiere, though they later acknowledged her career in movies.
Robbie, who currently stars as Catherine Earnshaw in Emerald Fennell's adaptation of Wuthering Heights, has built a prolific career with notable roles in blockbuster films. Her candid podcast appearance offers a glimpse into her more personal and lighthearted experiences while living in the UK, endearing her to fans with relatable tales of youthful misadventures and community connections.
