While living under the same roof, the actress and third assistant director went from friends to something more.

May 2016: “The Best-Looking Guy in London”

Robbie revealed that she was always in love with Ackerley and initially thought her feelings toward who she describes as “the best-looking guy in London” were one-sided.

“I was the ultimate single gal. The idea of relationships made me want to vomit," she told Vogue.  "And then this crept up on me. We were friends for so long. I was always in love with him, but I thought, 'Oh, he would never love me back. Don’t make it weird, Margot. Don’t be stupid and tell him that you like him.' And then it happened, and I was like, 'Of course we’re together. This makes so much sense, the way nothing has ever made sense before.'”
