HE’S shamelessly skating on his sister’s skirt tails but Margot Robbie’s little brother is happy to keep rolling with it.
Cameron Robbie is banking big bucks because of his older sister’s profile, spruiking products ranging from financial apps to beach towels and holiday tours.
“Everything I’m doing she finds hilarious,” the 23-year-old told The Daily Telegraph.
“I really love acting and film and television. Being able to create and tell stories is what I want to do.”

Robbie, who recently moved to Sydney, sells himself as an influencer for hire with an audience of about 60,000 followers.
Yesterday, he was paid to launch the opening of a pop-up roller-skating rink at Broadway Shopping Centre, as part of the Sydney Fringe Festival.
But despite publicists billing him as I, Robbie, the younger sibling could not see any links to his sister’s Oscar-nominated turn as Olympic skater Tonya Harding in critically acclaimed film, I, Tonya.
“I didn’t even really make that comparison with the ice skating (and) roller rink until after I’d heard about it,” he said.
Asked if Margot Robbie had offered any skating tips, he said: “All I can say is roller blading is a much safer sport than ice-skating —— no one’s going to get their knees whacked here, so it’s fine.”
But Cameron Robbie’s schtick is shameless. He regularly references Margot in his social media feed and when he hosted MTV’s red-carpet coverage of the Logie Awards he said: “MTV couldn’t get my sister along tonight, so you’re stuck with me instead”.
Robbie is working hard to make his mark as an actor, enlisting acting, accent and movement coaches as well as taking improvisation classes.
“I don’t think I’m pretty enough or well put together enough to be an influencer,” Robbie said.
