Like mother, like daughter! Margot Robbie's mother Sarie Kessler shows the apple doesn't fall far from the tree as she flaunts her enviable beach body on the Gold Coast
Margot Robbie's mother Sarie Kessler showed off her enviable figure when she stepped out for a dip on the Gold Coast.
The mother of the Hollywood star has been enjoying some family time with her A-Lister daughter who was back Down Under with husband Tom Ackerley and their baby boy for the Easter holidays.
Sarie, 67, looked trim, taut and terrific as she strolled along the golden sand with a male companion.
It was not hard to see where Margot received her enviable genetics as Sarie showed off her slender frame.
Sarie looked magnificent in a simple black one piece swimsuit that featured a cut-out detail on the décolletage.
The strappy swimmers showed off Sarie's slender arms and as she hit the beach for a stroll.
The high cut garment also showed off Sarie's trim pins as she strolled along the sand with her beau.
Going barefoot for the occasion, Sarie kept the accessories to a minimum, save for a blue and white striped beach towel that she wore as a shawl as she strolled along the shoreline.
Aside from working on her tan, Sarie also found time to take advantage of the crystal clear water.
Sarie looked very much in her element as she waded, waist deep, through the water.
She looked equally chuffed to be strolling, hand-in-hand with her beau along the shoreline after the cooling dip.
Margot recently revealed how she repaid her mother who had supported her acting aspirations since the very beginning.
Speaking to CBS Sunday Morning in 2023, the Barbie star admitted she spent her first movie earnings to pay off the mortgage on Sarie's $490,000 home in Southport on the Gold Coast.
Margot explained that she'd always intended to give money to her mother once she made it in Hollywood, as Sarie had financially supported her at the beginning of her career.
'Everything I owed my mum I had it written down. She'd take money out of the, like, house mortgage [to] lend me money,' Margot began.
'So I always knew, I was like, "I gotta pay that back". And then one day, when I made enough money, I just paid that whole mortgage off completely,' she added.
She paid off the mortgage on Sarie's 60th birthday, a year after Margot shot to superstardom in The Wolf of Wall Street.
'I was like, 'Mum, 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,' she said.
Also, in 2019 Margot revealed in Vogue Australia that she'd spent her first-ever acting paycheck on her mother.
Margot explained to Sarie, who was interviewing her for the magazine, that she used the money to payback the debt she owed her.
I spent it on paying you back, mum. Don't you remember? I was so in debt by the end of grade 12,' she explained.
'I had everything I owed you written on a piece of paper, and every time I got a paycheck I paid off my debt, but then I kept the piece of paper because it was so satisfying at the end to know I'd paid it all back.'
Margot's big break came in 2008, when she debuted on Neighbours as Donna Freedman, a role she played for three years.
But in 2011, Hollywood beckoned and she began auditioning for U.S. television shows and movies.
It comes as Sarie recently became a grandmother, with Margot and husband Tom Ackerley welcoming their baby boy in October.
Margot's pregnancy was made public in July and the couple enjoyed a romantic 'babymoon' to Sardinia, Italy, at the end of August.
Tom and Margot first met in 2013 while working on Suite Française, where he was an assistant director, and she was in front of the camera.
They cemented their relationship after moving in together with other friends in a four bed house in Clapham, South London, which according to Margot was the 'best days of my life'.
The couple got married in 2016 and are co-producers on a number of projects, including Hulu's Dollface, through their production company LuckyChap Entertainment.

Teenager praises ‘amazing' Paisley hospital experience after volunteer role
Sophie Henderson has been helping out at the town's Royal Alexandra Hospital. A teenager who provides companionship and support to patients at a Paisley hospital has told how the role has helped prepare her to study medicine at university. Sophie Henderson spends around two hours per week after school as a volunteer at the Royal Alexandra Hospital (RAH) assisting patients in a medical respiratory ward. The 17-year-old said the experience and commitment has given her a valuable insight into working in a clinical environment – and built her confidence as she works towards becoming a doctor. The Johnstone High School pupil, who is currently finishing sixth year, has been accepted to study medicine at the University of Aberdeen after the summer. She has been volunteering at the RAH for over a year and initially supported the staff 'relaxation and recuperation hub' when she joined during the Easter holidays in 2024. She went on to become a ward support volunteer. Sophie told of her 'amazing experience' working with patients, staff and visitors, and the rewarding feeling she gets from providing companionship to those who may otherwise feel isolated. She said: 'I come in every Thursday at around dinnertime and the nature of the respiratory ward means that often you see the same patients multiple times. 'They will quite often remember me from the last time they were in hospital and it's really nice to know I've made an impact on them. 'When I come in, I will usually go around each of the rooms in the ward to see if anybody needs anything, and then will sit and have a chat just to keep them company. 'It has been an amazing experience to build these relationships with patients and staff and to spend time in a hospital setting – it has really built up my confidence. 'It has also given me perspective and some knowledge and experience of the different roles of people working in hospitals. It really helped me prepare for my future career in medicine and confirmed this is something I want to pursue.' Sophie shared her story as NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) celebrates Volunteers' Week. Many sites are actively seeking to recruit volunteers. More information about volunteering and current opportunities can be found on the health board's website. Sophie received training and was paired with a 'buddy' when she first started doing shifts, and later went on to become a mentor to other new volunteers. She also recently won a summit award for her outstanding contribution to volunteering. Harry Balch, volunteer manager for NHSGGC's Clyde sector, said: 'Sophie is a valued member of the volunteer team. She is friendly, professional, organised and compassionate and possesses excellent interpersonal skills. 'Within the department, Sophie is incredibly hard working and very respectful in her approach and the patients benefit hugely from the time she spends with them. 'Volunteers' Week gives us the opportunity to say a huge thank you to our volunteers and celebrate their generous contribution. 'Volunteers come from all walks of life, bringing a whole range of experience and skills to the service and that's what makes volunteering so beneficial. 'Not only do the volunteers provide invaluable support to patients, it can be a hugely rewarding – and sometimes surprising – experience for those who volunteer.'

I already love this delightful Edinburgh restaurant, but now it's even more special

Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... Leftfield and I met when it opened back in 2017. It was love at first sight. I was smitten by the corner setting, with its green view of Bruntsfield Links. The food was magic, the front-room vibes were chilled. It felt a bit like going to a sophisticated friend's for dinner. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Then, during lockdown, my admiration grew, as they survived by doing some spirit-lifting take-outs, including their legendary shellfish platter. Last year, this restaurant, which is owned by Rachel Chisholm and chef Phil White, gently expanded, as it became a big sister to the hip new cafe, Margot, just a few doors down. I'm not sure which venue is my favourite, though they complement each other perfectly. However, Leftfield has now taken a leaf out of its younger sibling's book, with similarly fresh decor. It's no longer dark forest green inside. Instead, they've gone for a slightly stippled paint job , with pretty light fittings that resemble iridescent soap bubbles. However, there are still window boxes of herbs outside, so, from your table, you can watch the bees bouncing ineffectually off the lavender. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad I'm a fan of the glow-up, and, as restaurant manager Veronica Luque Perez says, it provides a canvas for the food to really shine. And that it does. Everyone knows it, as proved by the fact that we could only get an early bird 5:30pm table mid-week. Their fan club has more members than KISS'. We started on a high. I wouldn't necessarily have thought my other half could be so bowled over by a lettuce-based starter. This was such a perfect shades-of-green combo, though, with charred baby gem (£8.50), chives, mint, a pea puree, which almost had salad cream vibes,with its sharp and sweet notes, and long shavings of a bold and nutty hard Rainton tomme cheese. Light, yet satisfying. His transition to guinea pig is complete. My warm hand dived scallop (£14) was served on the shell, and hidden under a heap of zippy and crunchy bits, like cool ribbons of cucumber, and garlicky crispy onions, with a ginger and chilli kick. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad We could've gone for a sharing dish next, like the whole fish with all the trimmings (£45), or Gloucester Old Spot pork chop, borlotti beans, cavolo nero and roast apple (£48), but we stuck with the solo options. His main course was the sea trout (£22), which also came with petit pois - his second round. That was okay, though, as we don't often see them on menus these days, and maybe they've been forgotten about, in favour of trendier and more exotic ingredients. I'm going to get my Save the Peas placard out, since they've already taken care of the bees here. Anyway, this plateful featured a perfect coral pink fillet that was draped with fennel fronds and came with a pea puree and whole ones, plus sugar-cube-sized blocks of mild chorizo, and butter beans. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad I'd gone for the comparatively wintery venison haunch (£25). We never have red meat at home, and this satisfied all my ferritin requirements, with about six meltingly soft slabs of pink protein and a super concentrated salty and glossy jus. The accompanying pheasant back mushroom, with its springy texture, was speckled like a lochside pebble, and lightly pickled, to lift the general meatyness. The plate also featured spears of charred asparagus, and pink-tinged leaves of pleasingly bitter chicory. Now we need to talk about the side dish of potatoes. My goodness. I would go back and order three portions of these, for starter, main and dessert. It consisted of a bowlful of butter-varnished roasted new tatties (£6), with truffle oil and heaps more of that Rainton tomme cheese. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Even though we ate them all, and there were about a dozen or more, we were not going to be defeated before pudding, so he went for the classic Basque cheesecake (£8). It was a gem - a squat and sturdy slice, burnished chestnut on the outside, and fluffy on the inside, with a large dollop of tart rhubarb compote to temper all the sweetness. I did the chocolate mousse (£8), which was a dense and decadently rich scoop, with a sugar-dusted shortbread hat on top, and lots of mint-strewn and fragrant halved strawberries underneath. We had them with cocktails - a rhubarb cosmopolitan (£10) with rhubarb vodka, rhubarb and woodruff syrup, orange liquor and lime, for my wannabe Carrie Bradshaw, and a pleasingly medicinal white negroni (£9) that featured Edinburgh's Lind & Lime Gin, Suze and blanc vermouth for me, Mr Big. They concluded a lovely meal, but also a perfect evening. I just like being here and looking out of the window. Overall, the vibes are immaculate, as the kids might say in its sister restaurant, Margot. I remain a big fan, makeover or not.
