Margot Robbie has appeared in a resurfaced video from State of Origin in 2009.
The Hollywood actress, now 34 and living in Los Angeles, featured in a filmed segment for skincare brand Nivea titled 'Margot's World', which followed the then 18-year-old as she attended game one of the series that year.
A maroon-clad Robbie, who was born in Dalby and raised on the Gold Coast in Queensland, could be seen screaming the legendary maroons chant, 'Queenslander' alongside her friends, which included Neighbours co-star Ashleigh Brewer.
'Really excited for tonight, State of Origin game one, it's kind of like, the big event of the year for football,' Robbie said on camera.
The Barbie star, who was a regular cast member on Neighbours at the time, also revealed she wanted to play league in school but 'they wouldn't let girls play.'

Robbie was clad in Maroons gear.
'Which was something that really frustrated me. I begged our football coach,' she continued.
'I did play touch football, and unofficially with friends we would always kick the footy.'
Flash forward just over a decade and Robbie is now the highest paid actress in showbiz, per a Forbes report in 2023.

She left Neighbours in 2010 and got her big Hollywood break in Martin Scorsese's Wolf of Wall Street in 2013, starring opposite Leonardo DiCaprio.
Her rise from then was meteoric, with Robbie now a three-time Oscar nominee.
Meanwhile, the actress recently became a mum, welcoming her first child, a son, with husband Tom Ackerley in October.
Robbie returned to Australia for the first time since becoming a mother to celebrate Easter with family on the Gold Coast earlier this year.

Holly Valance splits from husband after 13 years
Former Neighbours star Holly Valance and UK billionaire Nick Candy are divorcing after 13 years of marriage. Friends told The Sun that the Australian actress and singer had split from her property tycoon husband in recent weeks. Right-wing glamour couple Holly, 42, and Nick, 52, were last photographed together in March, heading out for lunch in London. A family friend said: 'This has been a very difficult period for both Nick and Holly, and they are keeping things private out of respect for their family. 'The joint parenting of their two amazing daughters remains their top priority. They've had to juggle a demanding lifestyle. Between family, public life, and Nick's intense work commitments, it's been a tough balance. 'This is a family matter and they're doing their best to handle things thoughtfully. Privacy is obviously very important to them both, so they can focus on what's best for the family.' Nick, who is the treasurer of Nigel Farage's Reform, met Holly in 2009 and proposed two years later. They married in 2012 in a £3million California ceremony in front of 300 guests, including Simon Cowell. Holly found fame on Neighbours as Felicity 'Flick' Scully before launching a career as a pop star. Her 2002 debut album Footprints spawned three hits, including Kiss Kiss, which went to No 1. Nick started his property business with brother Christian in the early 1990s while working in advertising. The pair now have a vast portfolio, including One Hyde Park — made up of 86 luxury apartments in central London — worth just over £1billion. Last year, Nick announced he had shunned his Conservative Party membership in favour of Reform. He was appointed as the party's treasurer in December and pledged to raise tens of millions for Mr Farage, including giving a seven-figure sum himself. Holly has become a high-profile figure in right-wing politics. She visited US President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home in 2022 with her husband and Mr Farage. She also attended former Tory PM Boris Johnson's wedding in 2021. And she is credited with encouraging Mr Farage to run for Parliament. On her political views, she said last year: 'Everyone starts off as a leftie and then wakes up at some point after making money, working, trying to run a business, trying to buy a home, then realises what crap ideas they all are.' A spokesman for the couple said: 'This is a private matter and we will not be making any further comment.'

Rory Gibson on his epic chess battle that feels like war
Don't miss out on the headlines from Lifestyle. Followed categories will be added to My News. You probably wouldn't know it because the news has been hogged by the Middle East and Ukraine lately, but Australia has been embroiled in a vicious little war of its own. We've been slugging it out with Germany and I can report Australia has its foot planted on the throat of a particularly arrogant and none-too-pleasant enemy. When I say Australia I mean me, and when I say Germany I mean a bloke who calls himself Tombex. We've been representing our countries over a chess board, and it's been harrowing. I'm a member of an online chess platform that enables you to play chess with people all over the world. Tombex and I have history. Chess is a great game because it teaches you many good life lessons. The one that resonates with me most is not to make crucial decisions late at night after more than three beers. Tombex should have learned another one during our first clash last year, which is don't say anything that will lead people to suspect you're an idiot. There's a dialogue window which enables you to type messages to your opponents. During that first encounter my Teutonic foe took it upon himself to point out the weaknesses in my game without checking whether I was open to receiving his advice. I thanked him for his generosity, then set about destroying him. In the penultimate move before checkmate, I again thanked him profusely for his wisdom. I can't be sure he picked up the sarcasm. A bit like Germany after World War I, he came back for another crack at me. I felt like Churchill on the eve of the Battle of Britain. It nearly ended quickly. In only the seventh move he took my queen. It was an excellent ambush, but he couldn't help himself … he sent me a smartarse message: 'I think it is decided.' Amused by his hubris I typed a reply: 'That's what Hitler said after he invaded Poland and rolled into France.' Then I spotted his mistake. There was one move I could make that, if he responded in a particular way, I'd trap his queen and he'd be cactus. He never saw it coming. Aah, what a sweet, slow annihilation it was. As I ground him into the dust I kept asking what it was that had been decided but like the guns on the western front he'd fallen silent. For now he's off the radar, but chess inflicts deep, long-lasting wounds. He'll be back. Originally published as Rory Gibson on his epic chess battle that feels like war
