Cameron Robbie: Margot Robbie's Brother Goes from Modeling to Acting
Cameron Robbie has dabbled in several aspects of entertainment, including hosting a few red carpets, and is currently finding his feet as an actor. He made his acting debut in a show that once starred his older sister, Margot Robbie.
In 2021, Cameron Robbie appeared as wealthy lifeguard Jesse on the Australian soap opera "Neighbours." As the younger brother of an acclaimed actress, fans were excited to watch him demonstrate his skills.
The slow-burn unraveling of Jesse's character initially confused viewers, but his importance to the plot became more apparent as the story progressed. Beneath the heartthrob exterior, the lifeguard had hidden sinister motives.

Although he admitted how overwhelming and challenging it sometimes became, given the show's decades-longevity, Cameron enjoyed breathing life into the character. His sister, Margot Robbie, was only a phone call away if he needed guidance.
Margot starred in "Neighbours" as Donna Freedman between 2008 and 2011. "Margot, like many of my industry friends or go-to professionals, say a similar thing of work hard, train hard, be kind, grateful, and enjoy the experience," Cameron said of her advice.
He was excited to kick off 2021 with this debut and planned to pursue other passions in the industry. About two years before, he had walked his first runway. Things looked promising for Cameron, who had also tried his hand at finance.

Cameron Robbie Has Dabbled in Acting and Hosting
Cameron's first runway appearance was at the David Jones fall/winter season fashion show, held at the Museum of Old and New Art in Hobart, Australia, in February 2019. The then-23-year-old looked dapper in two ensembles by Jones.
The year before, he had tried his hand at TV hosting/interviewing. One of his earliest onscreen interviews was a surprise appearance on MTV Australia, chatting with Margot about the film "Peter Rabbit."
The siblings have had a few other adorable interactions in public, such as at the 2020 BAFTAs red carpet and, most recently, the "Babylon" premiere. In an interview, Cameron admitted he'd caught the hosting bug but maintained that his primary passion had always been acting.
Cameron Robbie Developed a Banking App in 2018
In May 2018, Cameron introduced the app Beem It, sponsored by prominent Australian banks. Beem It allowed users to make inter-bank transfers instantly to anyone at any time. He promoted the app on his Instagram page.
"We've all been in that situation when it comes to paying the bill at the end of the night, and you realize you can't split it, so you're the chump left paying it all. Beem It allows you to call in those IOUs on the spot," he said.

Cameron Robbie Does Not Appear to Have a Girlfriend but Enjoys Spending Time with His Friends
Cameron often dedicates sweet appreciation posts and birthday tributes to his friends. In December 2020, he posted a photo of himself and a lady friend posing at Felons Brewing Co. and joked, "Find someone who looks at you how I look at a camera. @chiara__charlotte"
That May, he had shared a birthday tribute to that same woman, saying they were "meant to fall in love ...but then didn't." Cameron also frequents the beach with pals, visiting Byron Bay, Gold Coast in Queensland, and Blueys Beach.
In addition to Margot, Cameron has two other siblings, Lachlan Robbie and Anya Robbie. The four were raised by a single mother, Sarie Kessler, whom Margot bought a home in 2014 following her separation from their dad, Doug Robbie.
