Margot Robbie may now be a global Hollywood superstar, but she still holds onto some humble culinary guilty pleasures from her Australian upbringing. The actress recently appeared on the Table Manners podcast with hosts Jessie and Lennie Ware to promote her new film adaptation of Wuthering Heights, where she delighted listeners with her unique take on a classic dish.
Bogan Nachos: A Quirky Australian Creation
During the podcast conversation, Margot Robbie enthusiastically described her beloved "bogan nachos" recipe, which offers a very unconventional spin on traditional Mexican nachos. The Barbie star, aged 35, captivated Jessie and Lennie Ware with a step-by-step guide to preparing this nostalgic comfort food.
"What I always thought growing up and what I thought nachos was - first you get the Alfoil, you then put that down on a baking tray, a packet of Doritos, a tin of baked beans, grated cheese, chuck it in the oven, let it melt. That is what I thought Nachos was. That is bogan nachos and it is banging," Margot explained with evident fondness.
Fan Reaction and Queensland Roots
After a video clip from the podcast segment was posted on TikTok, fans reacted with excitement and amusement. Many expressed eagerness to try the unconventional recipe themselves, while several Australian listeners noted that this dish represents a very "Queensland" thing to do. Margot Robbie was born in Dalby, Queensland, and raised on the Gold Coast before achieving international fame in Hollywood.
Marriage to Tom Ackerley: A Perfect Match
Elsewhere in the podcast discussion, Margot Robbie spoke warmly about her husband, producer Tom Ackerley, whom she described as her "perfect match." She praised his exceptional cooking skills, revealing that he could potentially work as a professional chef due to his culinary talents.
"My husband is a phenomenal cook - he could be a chef he is so good. We are like a perfect match," Margot shared. "I didn't know he was good until after we got married. He spends two days making a spaghetti bolognese. He does a three-day fried rice with Korean short ribs. He does steak better than any restaurant I've ever been to!"
From Friendship to Marriage
Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley first met in 2013 on the set of the film Suite Française. They initially lived as friends with other roommates in a shared house in Clapham, London, before their relationship developed romantically. The couple married in 2016 but continued living with their roommates for several months afterward.
Margot explained this unusual living arrangement: "We had all moved from Clapham to Shepherd's Bush and one day our roommates were like this is a little weird you guys are married now... We got married quite quickly so... And yeah then we moved out and got our own place."
Wild London Days and Hen Party Revelations
Margot Robbie also opened up about her more adventurous past during the podcast conversation. She admitted to being thrown out of the infamous nightclub Infernos and "most of the clubs in Clapham" during her younger years. The actress shared details about her wild hen party, which notably featured a Harry Potter-themed stripper.
Until 2016, Margot was a proud resident of Clapham, living in what she described as a ramshackle four-bedroom flat ironically nicknamed "The Manor" with six friends. She has previously referred to her time in south London as "the best days of my life" and reportedly initiated a compulsory "house tattoo" tradition, with every housemate getting the same design.
The podcast appearance provided a multifaceted glimpse into Margot Robbie's life beyond the Hollywood spotlight, from her humble Australian food preferences to her enduring marriage and nostalgic memories of her pre-fame London adventures.
