While it is illegal to consume alcohol before a certain age, it is also illegal to serve as an underage waitress or bartender. Thus, when Margot Robbie mentioned working behind bar counters at the age of 14, Chris Pratt asked to confirm, “14? Behind the bar? Is that legal in Australia?”. To which Robbie chuckled and replied, “No, it’s not.”

Further, the actress went on to talk about her childhood days and growing up in Australia. Robbie in fact impressed Pratt with her beer bottle-opening skills and amazing party tricks.
