Margot Robbie<\/a> has revealed a pesonal fact about her self that people have been getting wrong for more than a decade.<\/p>\n

Despite being on the big and small screens for nearly 20 years<\/a>, it seems everyone has the wrong idea of where the 35-year-old Australian was born.<\/p>\n

Her Wikipedia page previously said she was born in Dalby, a rural Queensland<\/a> town more than 200 kilometres north-west of Brisbane.<\/p>\n

But Margot said the \u201cinternet has had my place of birth wrong \u2026 the whole time\u201d in an interview with Magic FM this week.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was born on the Gold Coast,\u201d the Neighbour\u2019s actress-turned Hollywood star said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s not a stupid rumour.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s just amazing that this far along it’s still incorrect.\u201d<\/p>\n

She said that while her family is from Dalby, she wasn\u2019t born in the small town.<\/p>\n

Her Wikipedia page from 2008 to 2013 stated only that she came from the Gold Coast, but in 2014, it was updated to claim that Dalby was where she was born.<\/p>\n

That information stuck for 12 years until the May 12 interview.<\/p>\n

After being born in the Queensland city, she spent the first few years of her life in Dalby, then moved back to the Gold Coast with her siblings after her parents separated.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Vogue<\/a>, the Aussie star said she doesn\u2019t typically like to talk about her father.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust because it\u2019s hard to briefly mention without it sounding like \u2018My dad\u2019s awful and\u2026\u2019 That whole thing. But yes, Mum and Dad split up,\u201d she told the outlet.<\/p>\n

She has nothing but praise for her mum, Sarie, for raising her and her three brothers and sister, Anya, Lachlan, and Cameron.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s an amazing woman,\u201d Margot told The Resident<\/a> in 2017.<\/p>\n

She said the kids didn\u2019t make it easy on Sarie as they were constantly fighting and their mum was \u201cvery strong\u201d for holding \u201cthings together\u201d during those formative years.<\/p>\n

The now-Oscar nominee added that her upbringing in Dalby and the Gold Coast was not what you might think.<\/p>\n

Margot Robbie has clarified a rumour about her upbringing that has followed her around for years.<\/p>\n

“[We] went boar-hunting and surfing, and I grew up learning more about agriculture and animal husbandry than you could imagine,” she said.<\/p>\n

Margot had a keen interest in drama and performing once she was in school, and her mum even enrolled her into a circus academy.<\/p>\n

She scored roles in two thrillers in 2008-09 while she was still in high school, but it was her role as Donna Freedman in Neighbours that helped her become a household name across Australia.<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t until 2013, when she was cast as Naomi Lapaglia in Martin Scorcese\u2019s The Wolf of Wall Street, that the whole world knew her name.<\/p>\n

Incredibly, that was only her fourth movie, and she\u2019s since gone on to star in or produce dozens more.<\/p>\n
