Margot Robbie’s name changed in company records
Robbie has been a director of LuckyChap Entertainment since May 2015, according to Companies House records. The company was founded in 2014, with Robbie and Ackerley building it alongside McNamara and Kerr. Over the years, the company has become closely associated with some of Robbie’s biggest projects, both in front of and behind the camera.It has produced films including ‘I, Tonya’, ‘Birds of Prey’, ‘Promising Young Woman’, ‘Saltburn’ and ‘Barbie’. The latter became one of Robbie’s biggest projects as an actress and producer, with the film eventually becoming a major global box-office success.While Robbie has remained the public face of many of those projects, Ackerley has also played an important role behind the scenes as a producer and business partner. The new filing simply updates the name attached to Robbie’s position at the company. It does not say whether the actress has legally changed her name for personal purposes or whether she will start using Ackerley outside of corporate documents.
