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.

Sarah Jessica Parker reveals ‘unpleasant' part of playing Carrie on Sex and the City: ‘Sobbing'
Don't miss out on the headlines from TV. Followed categories will be added to My News. Sarah Jessica Parker 'wasn't prepared for public commentary' about her physical appearance when Sex and the City debuted in 1998. 'That was really unpleasant at times when people would have opinions — not about the work,' the actress, 60, told podcaster Alex Cooper on Wednesday's episode of Call Her Daddy. While Parker would 'sometimes' get frustrated with viewers' 'misunderstanding' of her character, Carrie Bradshaw, she said it was 'the personal stuff' that really got to her, reports Page Six. 'At that time, I thought I was a fairly confident person,' she shared, explaining that 'it really comes into question and is tested when you're filleted, in a way, when you're opened up.' Despite the pain it caused, Parker said, 'I know you know this: We're better for those kinds of experiences, but not all of us are good at it right away.' Parker appeared as a guest on the Call Her Daddy podcast. Picture: Supplied When Cooper, 30, argued, 'It doesn't mean it doesn't hurt,' Parker agreed, adding, 'Up to that point, there was no chatter about me. … There was just my work.' When asked point-blank about some of the 'harder comments' she had to hear, the Hocus Pocus star replied, 'I think just discussions of my physical person. Like, stuff that I couldn't change and wouldn't change and had never considered changing — even still after hearing something that was like, 'What? Somebody would say that?'' To Parker, the 'chatter' about her face and body 'didn't feel like it was actually a conversation.' 'I didn't feel like I could sit in a room and someone would say to me, 'You're really unattractive,'' she said. 'And then I could say, 'Wow. First of all, that's hard to hear, but second of all, why do you seem angry about it? Why do you feel it's necessary to say it, to comment?'' She played Carrie Bradshaw on the original series – and has reprised the role in And Just Like That. The mother of three, who has been married to actor Matthew Broderick since 1997, recalled one specific time when 'a magazine said something really mean' about how she looks. 'It was like a kick in the rubber parts,' she admitted. 'I was just like, 'Why is this a problem? Why is this deserving of your time and why do you seem to delight in saying it?'' Parker confessed that the remark, which she did not repeat, left her 'sobbing because it felt so purposeful.' She believed that was 'the only time [she] really cried about' negative comments about her physical appearance. The Emmy Award winner, who made sure to note that social media has changed the landscape of how the public shares its opinion, wondered whether her critics would 'say it to [her] face.'

An $80 bag from Target is quickly becoming a favourite among shoppers, offering genuine suede leather at a fraction of the price of many luxury alternatives. Suede is all the rage currently this winter in Australia, from suede loafers to suede bomber jackets, but finding genuine leather ones is a costly affair. For example, the Sienna Brown Suede bag from Vestirsi retails for $349, and the Tony Bianco Mily Espresso Suede Tote costs $249, which is why when Target dropped their own version of the suede over-the-shoulder bag, TikTokers lost their minds. TikToker can't believe her find One user, Emma Vosti, took to TikTok to rave about the find, saying: 'You will not believe what I got at Target yesterday. You just won't'. 'It came in its own dust bag,' she explained in awe as she pulled out the Chocolate Premium Suede Leather Slouch Shoulder Bag. She particularly loved all the small details that gave the bag a luxe touch. 'It's got lining on the bottom. It's a beautiful colour. It's got the stitching detail. Are you kidding me?' she raved, before showing a tag inside the bag that said 'suede leather'. The comments echoed her excitement, with one person saying they even left work early to go buy it. Others described it as 'beautiful' and 'chic'. Another simply said 'sold'. One fan admitted, 'I didn't realise Target did leather bags'. Influencer Steph Claire Smith even joined in on the hype and declared: 'That's a win'. Another commenter revealed, 'I truly have never been so quickly influenced. Bought it but have to find a way to drive to the town three hours away'. 'What I'm shocked!!!' said someone else. 'Going right now,' wrote another shopper.

Ex-TV star asks to be spared conviction for Nazi salute
An ex-television soap star is asking to be spared a criminal conviction for allegedly performing a Nazi salute. Former Neighbours and McLeod's Daughters actor Damien Patrick Richardson, 55, faced Moorabbin Magistrates Court in suburban Melbourne supported by his mother on Friday. He has been charged with performing a Nazi salute on September 14, 2024. Richardson is accused of intentionally performing the salute "whilst knowing that the symbol is associated with Nazi ideology" in a public place at Urban St restaurant in McKinnon, the court was told. Defence, prosecution and Richardson all appeared online on Friday morning, but magistrate Luisa Bazzani asked them to come into the court in person. Richardson's lawyer Peter Monagle said his client was preparing material to hand to prosecutors asking he be given a diversion. Diversion would mean Richardson is spared a criminal conviction for the offence, however the prosecution must agree to this and then recommend it to a magistrate. Mr Monagle said if the diversion was not accepted by the prosecution then the matter would proceed to a three-hour contest mention. "The issues in dispute are legal," he told the court. "There was an action performed by my client, but there are provisions in the act that we say cover that, but the prosecution argues doesn't cover that." He said there was no relevant prior case law, because the only people convicted of the offence "openly said they were Nazis". The first Victorian convicted of performing the gesture in public was Jacob Hersant, a far-right extremist who was handed a one-month jail term and is appealing this. Hersant performed the salute in front of news cameras in October 2023, days after it was outlawed. Mr Monagle asked for time to gather materials in favour of diversion, including character and work references, and said Richardson has four letters from people who were at the event in question. Ms Bazzani said if diversion is accepted, the matter will go before a magistrate for consideration. If diversion is not accepted by the prosecution, then it is open for Richardson to enter a plea and seek a sentence indication, she said. Richardson, who is on summons, will next face court on July 15. He starred as Gary Canning in Neighbours from 2014 to 2020, and also appeared in Blue Heelers, McLeod's Daughters and Wentworth. He retired from acting in 2021 and unsuccessfully stood as a political candidate in the 2022 federal and state elections.
