Margot Robbie returns to Australia with her newborn son for Easter break amid ongoing backlash over her casting in Wuthering Heights
Margot Robbie Surprises Fans with Easter Return to Australia. Margot Robbie arrived low-key at Brisbane International Airport on Tuesday, returning to Australia just in time to spend Easter with her family.
The 34-year-old actress is currently taking a break from filming Wuthering Heights in the UK.
Robbie was spotted with her mother, Sari Kessler, as she cradled her newborn son in a pram during her first trip down under.
The Barbie star, who welcomed her first child in Los Angeles with husband Tom Ackerley last October, opted for a casual look by pairing her favourite striped Céline jumper with baggy blue jeans and a black hat.
She went makeup-free, letting her blonde hair fall loose as she walked, pushing her pram and wheeling a suitcase.
Her mother, Sari, dressed in a khaki T-shirt and black slacks, looked thrilled to see her daughter home, helping to organize the rest of the belongings.
The sighting came amid controversy surrounding Robbie’s casting as Catherine Earnshaw in a new film adaptation of Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights.
Moreover, some fans have criticized the casting, arguing that the actress is too old for a role traditionally portrayed as a teenager.
Additionally, others have expressed concerns about the costume design and its misalignment with the novel’s 18th-century setting.
Despite the online backlash, Robbie’s homecoming signals a welcome family break before she resumes filming with co-star Jacob Elordi, who plays Heathcliff in the upcoming adaptation.
