Maroon-clad Margot Robbie in resurfaced State of Origin video

Margot Robbie is a secret rugby league fan, with the Hollywood star popping up in a resurfaced Origin video pledging her support to the Maroons.

Margot Robbie has appeared in a resurfaced video from State of Origin in 2009.

The Hollywood actress, now 34 and living in Los Angeles, featured in a filmed segment for skincare brand Nivea titled ‘Margot’s World’, which followed the then 18-year-old as she attended game one of the series that year.

A maroon-clad Robbie, who was born in Dalby and raised on the Gold Coast in Queensland, could be seen screaming the legendary maroons chant, “Queenslander” alongside her friends, which included Neighbours co-star Ashleigh Brewer.

“Really excited for tonight, State of Origin game one, it’s kind of like, the big event of the year for football,” Robbie said on camera.

The Barbie star, who was a regular cast member on Neighbours at the time, also revealed she wanted to play league in school but “they wouldn’t let girls play.”

Robbie was clad in Maroons gear.

“Which was something that really frustrated me. I begged our football coach,” she continued.

“I did play touch football, and unofficially with friends we would always kick the footy.”

Flash forward just over a decade and Robbie is now the highest paid actress in showbiz, per a Forbes report in 2023.

She left Neighbours in 2010 and got her big Hollywood break in Martin Scorsese’s Wolf of Wall Street in 2013, starring opposite Leonardo DiCaprio.

Her rise from then was meteoric, with Robbie now a three-time Oscar nominee.

Meanwhile, the actress recently became a mum, welcoming her first child, a son, with husband Tom Ackerley in October.

Robbie returned to Australia for the first time since becoming a mother to celebrate Easter with family on the Gold Coast earlier this year.
