According to Ackerley’s IMDb page, he’s worked on The Brothers Grimsby, The Two Faces of January, and the 2015 film Macbeth (starring Michael Fassbender) — as well as 10 other film credits.
4. He changed Robbie’s ideas on relationships
Before Ackerley, Robbie had a very different view on relationships, and during an interview with Vogue magazine she gushed about how he changed her life.
“[Before we met] I was the ultimate single gal,” she said. “The idea of relationships made me want to vomit. 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.'”
