    Margot Robbie is a "terrible" cook

    The Barbie star opened up about her lack of ability in the kitchen during a joint interview for Complex with pop star Charli XCX with the actress admitting she leaves all culinary duties to her husband Tom Ackerley because he's an "unbelievable cook".


    When asked what dish she would like her significant other to cook. Margot said: "He's an unbelievable cook. Spag bol is a good one because everyone has their own version of it. He makes one that takes like two days. There's a lot of effort that goes into it but it's worth it. It's so worth it."

    Asked if she's good at cooking, Margot replied: "No. I'm terrible ... You only need one in the relationship. You don't both need to be good at it ... And I love eating so it works."

    Charli - who is married to The 1975 star George Daniel - confessed she's also a terrible cook, telling the actress: "Babe that's the same with me. My husband's an amazing cook ... We're [Charli and Margot] too busy not that they're [their husbands] not ... We love you boys! ...

    "My husband makes a really good shwarma. It's not quite two days. But it is like a day of marination ... is that a word?"

    Margot then jokes: "You can tell how often we're in the kitchen."

    It comes after Margot opened up about her wild days living in London before she shot to fame.

    The Wolf Of Wall Street star revealed she was kicked out of "most of the clubs in Clapham" while she was living with six friends in a four-bedroom apartment until 2016.

    Appearing on the Table Manners podcast, Margot recalled a time before they moved in together when they got booted out of Infernos on a particularly wild night.

    She told hosts Jessie and Lennie Ware how her roommates insisted you "can't get kicked out" of the former cinema, and she visited for herself after a weekend's work in Belgium.

    She said: "So we all had a weekend in London when the job was done. And of course, we went to Infernos, and within about 15 minutes, we got kicked out. "And while we're getting dragged out by security, I was screaming, 'but this is Infernos, you can't get kicked out of Infernos.'

    "And the bouncer was like, 'Look, we allow most things, but when your friend does [redacted], then we kick you out'. And I was like, 'okay, fair enough!' "

    The Wuthering Heights actress didn't reveal exactly what her friend did to cause a scene, although she noted it wasn't a rarity for them to get in a spot of bother.

    She added: "Most of the clubs in Clapham, I'd say, have kicked us out. Yeah, for a while we were banned at a number of places! [..] So we ended up all deciding to move in together."

    Australian star Margot had moved back to the US, but she and her friends had fallen in love with the area and decided to mark it their home.

    She said: "I had gone back to America at that point, and so we were looking online, and the guys were like, 'Oh, it's a sign this place is down the road from Infernos'.

    "So we literally signed our lease just because it was down the road from Infernos."
