Margot Robbie and Liam Hemsworth’s US fans are baffled by their accents as the couple’s clip on Neighbors goes viral: ‘I forgot they were Aussie’
Fans of Margot Robbie and Liam Hemsworth lose their accents in an unearthed fragment of the pair from their early acting days.
In the video, which is going viral on TikTok, we see Margot, 33, and Liam, also 33, together in the scene from the long-running 2008 soap opera Neighbours.
Liam, who played Josh Taylor from 2007 to 2008, and Margot, who played Donna Freedman from 2008 to 2011, have a heated argument about their friends.
Margot’s character says phrases like “cut the pity party” and “talk to the hand” while defending her friend Bridget, played by Eloise Mignon.
American fans were baffled by the pair’s very Australian accents.
“I don’t think I’ve ever heard him speak in his Aussie accent,” one fan commented on the TikTok video.
“I don’t think I’ve ever heard him talk in his Aussie accent,” said another, with one writing, “I forgot Margot is Aussie.”
One fan also joked, “Thank God for the subtitles.”

Liam and Margot both started acting in the classic Aussie soap opera before they both became Hollywood stars.
Fans also pointed out how several Australian actors started their careers on soap operas like Neighbors or Home and Away.
“I love how basically all Australian actors start talking about neighbours,” one commented.

Margot played the role of Donna Freedman on the show when she was just 17 and moved to Melbourne where she had no friends or family.
She made a quick cameo in the soap’s final TV episode, which she found “very emotional.”
While the show has since been rescued and will be digitally revived, Margot was one of several stars returning for the star-studded finale.
Speaking at BAFTA: A Life In Pictures, supported by electronics brand TCL, in London last year, she explained: ‘When it ended it was very emotional. I wrote everyone a big letter with all my memories and sent 37 bottles of champagne for the years it had been on the air – and of course I made a video for them to play.’

After moving to Hollywood, Margot landed a role in the TV series Pan Am and two years later in 2013, she landed her first feature film role in Richard Curtis’s romantic comedy About Time.
Most recently, she played the role of Barbie in the 2023 movie alongside Ryan Gosling.
Meanwhile, Liam launched his career by playing street wheelchair-bound hunk Josh Taylor from 2007 to 2008.
He has since taken Hollywood by storm in his role as Gale Hawthorne in The Hunger Games and was recently cast to replace Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia in season four of The Witcher.
