Margot Robbie surprises cast and crew of Neighbours with special gift
Margot Robbie has come a long way since her debut on Neighbours in 2008.
But it seems that the actress hasn’t forgotten her humble start on Ramsay Street, sending champagne to the cast and crew as production wrapped for the final time in 37 years on Friday.
The show’s executive producer Jason Herbison announced Robbie had sent a gift of pricey bubbles.
The cast raised a toast following the end of filming on the show’s final ever day of production.
Alan Fletcher, April Rose Pengilly and Emerald Chan were among the cast to thank Robbie on Instagram for the thoughtful gift.
Robbie shot to fame in the Australian soap when she appeared as aspiring fashion designer Donna Freedman from 2008 to 2011, before swapping Melbourne for Hollywood.
She previously credited the show and said it was ‘brilliant training’ for her Hollywood career and admitted that she could never learn lines at the speed she used to during her soap days.
But she cannot believe how quickly she used to get through her scripts during her time in the serial drama.
She said: ‘I always said after walking off a soap everything would be easy after that.’
