The news circulated again on celebrity gossip page Deuxmoi on Thursday when the Instagram account shared a list of celebrities that fans may not have known were on sports teams.

Reacting to the list, fans were quick to praise Margot for being “wild” while sharing their surprise at her unexpected choice of sport.

One wrote: ‘The fact that someone as beautiful as Margot Robbie chooses to play a sport where most people are missing teeth shows she’s wild AF too lol. This girl lives on the edge.’

Another joked: “Definitely an Aussie sent this.”

And a third said: “Okay, but do I need a Margot Robbie Steve Carell ice hockey movie now?”, referencing The Office star’s passion for the sport.

Margot has previously spoken about her love of playing ice hockey, as she said in a 2016 interview that she was “terrible” at it but enjoyed the sport anyway.

She said W Magazine at the time: “I don’t want to mislead you and make you think I’m very good at ice hockey, I’m terrible, but I really like it.”

She revealed that her childhood dream was to play ice hockey, but she was unable to do so due to the mild climate growing up on the Gold Coast.

“I always wanted to play when I was a kid, but I grew up on the Gold Coast, which is a super tropical place in Australia, and there was no ice hockey, so I played field hockey,” she said.

Margot managed to bring her love of being on the ice into her career when she played former American figure skater Tonya Harding in the 2017 film I, Tonya (pictured in the film).

“Then when I moved to America, I joined a league, but I didn’t know how to ice skate, I basically ran on the ice, but it had so much padding that it didn’t really matter.

‘You couldn’t hurt yourself if you tried, at least not when you’re playing in an amateur league, but I love it; It’s tremendously fun.

She also revealed that she is not allowed to skate while contracted to work for insurance reasons, so she spends long periods of time off the ice.
