Long before she was a Hollywood superstar the actor spent her nights clubbing in Clapham at Infernos.

With Margot Robbie now one of the biggest film stars in the world, fresh off box office behemoth Barbie that she both produced and starred in, it can be very easy to forget that once upon a time she was just an ordinary South Londoner.

Long before she made her name in films like Babylon, Suicide Squad, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Australian born Margot was just like any other 20-something forging the early years of their career in a share-house in London.

Granted, Margot had already starred in Wolf of Wall Street by the time she moved into her Clapham flat in 2016, but the group of six she teamed up with (including her now husband Tom Ackerley) picked their home based on the lowest budget among their members, meaning even as a bona fide movie star Margot was by no means living in luxury.

In an interview with Capital Breakfast host Sian Welby, Margot said: “Clapham has always felt unassuming 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 lots of people. It reminds me of the house I grew up in.”

While still living in Clapham, Margot built on her growing stardom by landing a role in The Legend Of Tarzan alongside Swedish actor Alexander Skarsgard, who described Margot as “not precious at all”.

He added: “She was living in a house with six other people, kind of a frat-house vibe, and on weekends she would go to Amsterdam and sleep in bunk beds in a youth hostel with Canadian backpackers, or to some music festival in northern England and sleep in a tent.”

According to MailOnline, one acquaintance who attended one of the parties at the Clapham house, remembers Margot’s room as unkempt, with an unmade bed and clothes scattered on the floor. The actor has even described herself as a ‘Clapham girl’ in the past, and admitted her time there might even be worth a movie with all the partying she did.

Asked whether her life could become a film she replied: “I don’t know if any of my life is worthy of a movie to be honest. Maybe my first year living in London, that could be. My housemates that I lived with in the shared house in Clapham came to watch the movie last night at the premiere and straight after they were like ‘yeah the first half hour of the movie was pretty much just Clapham Manor wasn’t it’.”
