Margot Robbie was Left Horrified After Bumping Into Barack Obama in the Most Humiliating Way Possible
Margot Robbie is one of those Hollywood actresses who probably does not need an introduction anymore. Thanks to her portrayal of the Mattel doll Barbie in Greta Gerwig’s blockbuster movie of the same name, Robbie has gained a lot of fame worldwide. This is not the first time she has enchanted viewers with her charm, and certainly won’t be the last.
That being said, Margot Robbie also has some of the best stories to tell. In early 2018, she told another hilarious story about how she and her husband met former American president Barack Obama.
Margot Robbie’s Awkward Meeting with Barack Obama
Even in 2018, Margot Robbie was no stranger to fame or meeting A-list celebrities out of nowhere. Fortunately, she has had her husband Tom Ackerley by her side which evidently makes all of the glitz and glamour a little less overwhelming. Ackerley and Robbie met for the first time in 2013 on the set of Suite Francoise and hit it off the very next year.
The couple tied the knot in 2016, and while it would be a rare occurrence for them to be starstruck at a meeting with a celebrity, it is not every day that one meets former President Barack Obama. Moreso, in the circumstances in which they did so considering The Wolf of Wall Street actress’ husband was wearing shorts that might have been too short. She recounted the incident on The Ellen Show, saying:
“We get changed to go to the gym and Tom puts on these shorts that are like, his oldest gym shorts, and they’re tiny. I was like, ‘Babe, you cannot wear those shorts… I can see everything’. And he was like, ‘Oh, c’mon. Who are we going go to run into?’”
The year was 2017 and the couple was on their honeymoon in Tahiti when they met talk show host Ellen DeGeneres, her wife Portia de Rossi, and Barack Obama for the first time in the gym of the luxury hotel they were staying in, while Ackerley was wearing the tiny shorts.
Things Got Even More Embarrassing for Margot Robbie’s Husband
As if they weren’t mortified enough to see Barack Obama in the gym while Ackerley was wearing those shorts, things got worse when they had to participate in a stretching class. He was doing his best to cover himself up to no avail as it was getting more difficult to do so with each passing minute of the class.
Soon enough, things got so bad that Tom Ackerley had to grab a towel to cover up the spot noticing which, Ellen DeGeneres said, “Boy, those were the wrong shorts to wear today.”
While the incident makes up for a hilarious story for Margot Robbie to tell, it might not be the same for her husband who must have been embarrassed by the whole ordeal.
