Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley first met on set of the movie "Suite Française" in 2013 which was a love story drama based on an unfinished novel written by Irène Némirovsky that took place during World War II. Robbie played a small role in the film while Ackerley worked as an assistant director. During production, the cast apparently grew quite tight and remained good friends even after production ended. "We became really close," Robbie told The Guardian. "You spend so much time with your crew – I mean, if you want to."
By January 2014, Robbie met up with her old London cast members while in town for the premiere of "The Wolf of Wall Street" and had such a good time that she threw out the idea that everyone, including Ackerley, should all move in together. "We were like, 'Wouldn't it be funny if we all lived together?'," she told The Guardian in 2018. "Someone said, 'But you don't live in London,' and I said, 'I don't live anywhere. I'll move.' Three days later we signed a lease in Clapham. I didn't even see the place."
So the crew bit the bullet, and Robbie, Ackerley, and five other housemates moved into a three-bedroom home in London. At the time, Robbie and Ackerley were strictly just friends but eventually became romantically involved after living together, which they initially kept a secret from their housemates.
