Margot Robbie Crashed My Mate’s Stag! Best man reveals how the Hollywood star was a rather unexpected addition to their lads’ night out in a remote Scottish pub

A hen party group have revealed how their night out at the pub was gate-crashed by Hollywood beauty Margot Robbie.

Best man Tony was out celebrating his best friend’s bachelor party in a remote Scottish pub last summer at the height of Barbie’s box office success.

Tony and 11 friends were enjoying pints and dinner in the small pub as the conversation turned to the summer’s new film releases.

‘I was sitting facing Margot and definitely noticed an attractive lady at the table but had no idea it was Margot. At one point we started talking about Oppenheimer and Barbie when they had just come out,’ Tony tells MailOnline.

Margot herself told the story at a recent screening of her hit film in Los Angeles, revealing: ‘I listened for about 30 minutes to a group of guys at a stag party discussing the Barbie movie, not knowing I was sitting two or three meters away from them.’

Tony insists the group had “only good things to say” about Margot’s film, but a friend “said we should see it ‘for culture’s sake'”.

Margot has admitted she ‘didn’t want to go up to’ Tony and his friend, but changed her mind as she left the pub.

“I went up to their table and said ‘Thanks for watching the Barbie movie.’ It was very funny, they lost it. It took them a full minute to realize and I was almost out the door and they said “Ohhhh”‘.

Tony tells MailOnline his side and recalls the jaw-dropping moment he recognized the stunning star.

“Towards the end of dinner, I noticed the lady I had seen earlier approach our table with her date.”

‘We all looked up and she says to us with a big smile, “Hey, I just wanted to thank you all for coming to see the Barbie movie!”.

‘She turned around and walked out straight afterwards and we were all left with our jaws on the floor.’

“Then we all started getting excited, some of us yelling ‘was it really her?!'” The waitress came out at that point laughing and said, “we heard you start talking about Barbie and were back in the kitchen freaking out out. We hoped you didn’t say anything bad!”.

Tony has stated that the moment ‘was absolutely the highlight of the trip and I incorporated it into my best man’s speech back in London.’

As for Margot, she previously stated that “people’s reactions to the film have been the biggest reward for this whole experience.”

‘Whether it’s having a moment like that, or whether it’s listening in the bathrooms, or whether it’s seeing what people write online.’

‘I’ve never been a part of anything like this. Not like this.’

Australian actress Margot used to live in the UK, in a flat in London, and still visits regularly when she’s not in Los Angeles.

Margot’s former home in Clapham, affectionately known as ‘The Manor’ by its residents, was where Margot began her relationship with her husband, Surrey-born filmmaker Tom Ackerley, and had what she describes as ‘the best of times’.

The lease on the property was originally signed in early 2014, shortly after the release of the film that would make her name – Martin Scorcese’s The Wolf Of Wall Street.

Margot hailed the unlikely joys of living in Clapham in an interview with luxury London lifestyle magazine The Resident in 2017, stating that she loved the ‘low-key’ vibe of her life there.

‘For me, where you live and what you do has to be simplistic and comfortable, otherwise how are you supposed to relax at all?’ she said.

‘Clapham has always felt undemanding in the sense that you’re just left alone to get on with who you are, and that’s perfect. But I like living with many people. It reminds me of the house I grew up in.

‘It’s funny – I always think I want privacy because I’m actually never alone, ever. But when I am, I hate it. After five minutes I find people to hang out with.’

Margot married Tom in Byron Bay in December 2016. The following year, the duo moved from London to a lavish 3,300-square-foot, four-bedroom, six-bathroom Los Angeles pad.
