Margot Robbie’s husband mortified after ‘flashing everything’ to Obama in awkward blunder

Hollywood legend Margot Robbie confessed her husband almost flashed former President Barack Obama in teeny gym shorts during in a yoga class.

The Barbie star officially tied the knot to British film producer Tom Ackerley back in 2016 after they met on the set of I, Tonya back in 2014. The happy couple shared the news on social media but couldn’t jet off on their lavish honeymoon until the starlet had finished the press tour for the biopic film.

When the couple officially flew off for their romantic getaway in Tahiti back 2018, they spent four days on a remote island together before they finished off their trip in a lavish hotel. But when they arrived at their luxury lodgings, the pair fell victim to terrible weather and were left with no other option than to spend the afternoon in the gym to avoid the rain.

It was at this point that the 33-year-old made the grave error of throwing on a pair of old gym shorts before they headed out the door. Speaking to Ellen DeGeneres later that year, the actor shared the mortifying moment things went horribly wrong.

She told the talk show host: “We get changed to go to the gym and Tom puts on these shorts that are his oldest gym shorts. And they’re tiny, they’re really short and there’s nothing underneath.

“So he gets on his bicycle to ride there, and I was like, ‘Woah! Babe you cannot wear those shorts, I can see everything’. And he was like, ‘Oh come on, who are we going to run in to? Who’s gonna be here?’ and I was like, ‘You’re right’.

“I mean we’d just been on an island where no one else was for so long. And so we walk into the gym and running on a treadmill is Ellen and then on the treadmill next to her is Portia, her wife.”

It’s at this point that the blonde bombshell burst into laughter, admitting: “It’s not even the best bit but already Tom and I are like, ‘Oh my God’ and Tom’s face has just gone white.” She went on to share the humiliating moment the pair met the 44th President of the United States.

Margot went on: “Ellen’s like, ‘Hi, Hi’ and I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, Ellen! So lovely to meet you’ and she’s like, ‘This is my wife Portia’ and I was like, ‘It’s so lovely to meet you Portia’. I was already starstruck.

“And then she’s like, ‘Have you met Obama?’ and we were like, ‘What?’ and standing next to them is former President Barack Obama. I’m not kidding, in a gym that is tiny.”

Their embarrassing afternoon soon went from bad to worse when they then took part in a yoga class together. She chuckled: “Then we had to do this whole stretching class, but Tom is trying not to reveal anything.

“He’s dying [inside] and I’m crying so much I’m about to crack a rib. This gym instructor keeps saying to Tom, ‘Lunge, lunge, Tom. You’re not lunging’. And Tom’s trying to lunge cross-legged and Obama is stepping over his legs to put his weights back.

“The whole thing was so absurd, it was hilarious.” The TV host, 66, couldn’t help but point out how short his pants were to the audience.

She demonstrated: “I mean when she says short shorts, they were up to here [points to crotch level] and wide, they were so wide. So when he was lunging, we were like [shield’s her eyes] and then he’s on the ground at one point stretching [cross-legged] and we’re like, ‘Oh my God’.”

Margot continued: “We literally got to the end of the class and we’re going a last stretch which was legs out and Tom’s now got a towel on his crotch trying to be modest. And his face just says it all.

“He’s like, ‘This is the worst day of my life’ and Ellen just looks over and says ‘Boy, those were the wrong shorts to wear today’.”

Their mortifying ordeal didn’t end there, when the couple later found that half their laundry had gone missing. Ellen continued: “Two days later, we get our laundry and I start looking through it and I was like, ‘This is not our laundry’.

“And then I come across pink shorts and I was like, ‘Oh I know who’s these are’. I got Tom’s shorts.” At the end of the interview, the broadcaster then gifted the Australian actress a pair of blue and grey basketball shorts that were long enough to stretch down to his kneecaps.
