Margot Robbie has set the record straight about her hometown after years of long-running rumors.
The Australian actress, who is believed to have been born in Dalby, a town in Australia, revealed that she was actually born in another town.
In a recent conversation with the British radio station Magic FM, Margot said: “The Internet has been misrepresenting my hometown all the time.”
Margot said she grew up in rural Queensland, because her family also belongs to the city.
“It says I was born in Dalby, where my family is from, but that’s not the case,” the spokesperson said Barbie actress shared, adding: “I was born on the Gold Coast.”
She expresses her shock that it has been a long time since she has been in the industry and no one has responded to the rumor. She noted, “It’s not a stupid rumor, it’s just amazing that it’s still false so far.”
For those unfamiliar, Dalby is a rural town in Queensland’s Western Downs Region, with a population of just 12,758 in the town.
While the Gold Coast is a metropolitan city on the east coast of Australia with a population of over 700,000 people.
In a previous interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live! In 2014, Margot revealed that she had spent her childhood in Dalby.
“My family are from a small country town called Dalby, which is three hours inland,” she revealed at the time. “It’s very small. When I go back to Dalby everyone says, ‘What happened to you?’ and I was like, ‘Oh, I made a movie and stuff, what’s going on here?’ They say, ‘We’re getting a Big W.'”
