Popsugar Entertainment Netflix Is Margot Robbie in Sex Education? 15 People Who Are Convinced Margot Robbie Is in Sex Education (She Isn't) 23 January 2019 by Maggie Panos Image Source: Netflix Celebrity dopplegängers exist, y'all, and the world has found yet another one. After incorrectly identifying Jesse Plemons as Matt Damon in Black Mirror, Twitter is convinced that Margot Robbie is starring in Netflix's Sex Education. The character in question, Maeve, is actually played by newcomer Emma Mackey. Robbie, it turns out, is too busy filming the Harley Quinn stand-alone movie, prepping for the Barbie movie, and generally being an A-list Hollywood actress to play a high-schooler in a British comedy series. (Lame, right?) That hasn't stopped people from being downright befuddled when they are confronted with evidence that Robbie is not, in fact, in the show. At this point, even Mackey has commented on the comparisons, telling Vulture: "I'm very flattered because Margot Robbie is insanely beautiful, but it's always annoying to have people focusing on your looks as opposed to what you're actually doing on the job. But also, I'll take it. There are worse people to be compared to." Here are 15 people who are still reeling from discovering that Robbie and Mackey are not the same person (nor are they twins . . . or even related). 3 episodes into #sexeducation on #Netflix and I kept thinking how cool they got Margot Robbie on the show then I looked up the cast only to find out the girl is not only not Margot Robbie but this is her first gig ever. pic.twitter.com/2ubUswJ8aF— chelsey (@c_ritt1416) January 22, 2019 1 / 15 Watched first few episode of #SexEducation on the plane. Stray thoughts: Should not have watched this in full view of strangers on a plane. What year is it supposed to be? How is that not Margot Robbie? This is a delight.
