Margot Robbie cherishes her 'proud Australia' as Americans struggle to pronounce her name correctly

Margot Robbie says she loves returning to 'proud Australia' and reveals the VERY annoying thing Americans do - as she forces her co-star to try chicken salt and meat pies

Margot Robbie has revealed her plans to get her Babylon co-stars to try Australian food. 

The Oscar-nominated actress, 32, is currently in Sydney to promote her upcoming film Babylon, which she stars in alongside Brad Pitt and Diego Calva.

Speaking on Channel Nine's Today show on Wednesday, Diego said he is being 'well-fed' when asked by entertainment reporter Brooke Boney if Margot was looking after him while in Sydney.

'Food is always the priority when someone is going to get an idea of Australia,' Margot said.

'I desperately want him to try chicken salt on anything and potato scallop, chippies.

'He needs to try a meat pie and sausage roll.'

'I mean there's just a lot of eating that needs to be done and I have only 36 hours,' she added before joking Diego would need to be 'rolled back onto the plane'.

The Queensland-born beauty said she loves returning to Australia because she feels how 'proud' her home country is of her.

She especially loves that Aussies correctly pronounce her name, something Americans rarely do.

'It's nice to be home and see the reaction,' she said. 

'You know, you have the premiere and people scream out your name. I just love hearing my name with an Aussie accent too because in America everyone hits the R. They got "Marr-go" not "Ma-go".

'It's just so special to be home and I always care most about Australia things and what my friends and family are doing and I like talk about Australia all the time to everyone I work with.

'So it's really nice to get to bring someone who hasn't been to Australia before [co-star Diego] here and to experience all the things like Burger Rings'.

When asked by Brooke if she feels how proud Australia is of her, Margot added: 'I do, yeah'.  

'Getting out of the car [at the Babylon premiere] there was so many people on the street.

'Then every time I speak to everyone's like, we're really proud. 

'Even if it's people you don't know when they say that you're really proud. 

'This is just one big family.  I do feel it and I appreciate it so much'.

The LA-based star added she has a 'connection' with the Australian public from her four year stint on Neighbours.

'You're in people's living room every night while they're having dinner or whatever,' she explained. 

'There is a familiarity there that I don't think you quite get it to someone that you see in a movie once every two years or something.  

'I love that. I can feel kind of a part of the furniture in that we are going to be more than they ever bargained for.'
