Margot Robbie Lost Her Voice And Had Her Husband Read A Speech Revealing Her 'Secret Crush'

Margot Robbie Lost Her Voice And Had Her Husband Read A Speech Revealing Her 'Secret Crush'
Lifetime

The actor lost her voice ahead of 'Variety''s Power of Women dinner, so she had her husband Tom Ackerley read her speech instead—and revealed her crush on Dua Lipa.

Sometimes you have to get your creative partner-slash-husband to step up and do his share. For many people, this might mean helping with the dishes.

For actor Margot Robbie and her husband, Tom Ackerley, this meant that Ackerley had to deliver a speech on Robbie's behalf at the "Variety's Power of Women" dinner. Robbie and Ackerley are co-founders of the production company LuckyChap, which was behind I, Tonya and Saltburn.


Robbie usually takes center stage in public appearances, but on this occasion, she had lost her voice and got Ackerley and fellow co-founder of LuckyChap, Josey McNamara, to give her written speech while she stood nearby.

In the speech, Robbie, most recently known for starring in Greta Gerwig's Barbie movie as the titular character, wrote that her co-founders "use her as a bit of a crutch for these public-facing sort of things," but that this was a time for them to step up.

Ackerley interjected, still reading from the speech, promising to take a larger role in the future, and then confessed a crush on Dua Lipa, on Robbie's behalf.

We know that, so I vow here and now, in front of all these people and Dua Lipa, who I have a secret crush on, to not leave all the speeches to Margot from now on.

People thought that Robbie making her husband give her speech was adorable.

Others were more focused on the lesser-known fact that she's married.


People were a little excited, as Dua Lipa said in a recent interview that Robbie was her crush, as well.

Some pointed out that the phrasing could have meant that Ackerley had the crush, not Robbie.



Others preferred the original interpretation and applauded the joke in Robbie's speech.

Really, who doesn't have a crush on Dua Lipa?


Dua Lipa contributed a song to the Barbie soundtrack, "Dance the Night."

Rob Schneider Dragged For Criticizing Elizabeth Banks' 'Dangerous Rhetoric' After She Called Out White Female Trump Voters

After actor and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks—who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games—called out white women who voted for President Donald Trump, MAGA actor Rob Schneider lashed out against what he referred to as her "dangerous rhetoric."

Those who've read the book and seen the film adaptation of The Hunger Games know that Trinket—known for joyfully announcing, "Happy Hunger Games and the odds may be ever in your favor!"—is a mistress of propaganda for a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line. Trinket eventually embraces the rebellion.

Musician Kid Rock has hitched his wagon to president Donald Trump for quite some time now, and it seems he too is in the "find out" stage of that particularly exercise in FAFO.

It seems that when the president you form your entire personality around craters to a catastrophic approval rating even for him, your ship starts to sink too.

Trump's Border Czar Ripped For Hypocrisy After Telling Pope Leo To 'Stay Out Of Politics'

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan was called out for hypocrisy after telling Pope Leo XIV to "stay out of politics" after he clashed with Trump over the widely unpopular war in Iran.

Last week, Pope Leo criticized the war and called on the world "to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything."
