Speaking to the The Gold Coast Bulletin, her mother said: “It was just amazing to have Margot home. We knew she was coming home — I tried to talk her out of it [coming home] because she has so much work to do because she’s starting filming Tarzan next month, so she’s really really busy.

“I am immensely proud of her. She is a fine young woman and she is directly focused and she sets goals and achieves them.
