Margot Robbie has recently revealed why she paid off her mother’s mortgage from her movie earnings.
During an appearance on CBS Sunday Morning for her new hit movie, Barbie, Robbie said, “Everything I owed my mom I had it written down.”
“I have that piece of paper still. I kept it,” remarked the 33-year-old.
In 2014, News.com.au reported Robbie paid off the mortgage on Kessler’s $490,000 home in Southport, Australia, on her mother’s 60th birthday.
Robbie mentioned, “She'd take money out of the house mortgage, lend me money, so I always knew, I was like, ‘I got to pay that back’.”
“And then one day, when I made enough money, I just paid that whole mortgage off completely.”
The actress stated, “I was like, ‘Mom, don't even worry about that mortgage anymore. It doesn't even exist anymore’.”
“Honestly, anyone in my position, you'd do that for your mum,” added Robbie.
Last year, Robbie told Vanity Fair that she struggled with the fame she achieved after her movie, The Wolf of Wall Street.
Something was happening in those early stages and it was all pretty awful, and I remember saying to my mom, ‘I don't think I want to do this,’” disclosed the actress.
Robbie said, “She just looked at me, completely straight-faced, and was like, ‘Darling, I think it's too late not to’. That's when I realised the only way was forward.”
