Margot Robbie brings her newborn son home to Australia for the first time as she enjoys the holidays with her mother Sarie Kessler

Margot Robbie made a low-key arrival at Brisbane International Airport on Tuesday, returning home to Australia just in time to spend Easter with her family while taking a break from filming Wuthering Heights in the UK.

The Australian actress, 34, was seen with her mother Sarie Kessler as she kept her newborn son hidden in his pram during his first trip Down Under.

The Barbie star, who welcomed her first child with husband Tom Ackerley in Los Angeles in October, slipped into her favourite striped Celine jumper.

She paired the loose-fit jumper with a pair of baggy blue jeans for an on-trend look as she hid her face beneath a black cap.

Going completely makeup-free for her arrival back home, the mother-of-one left her blonde locks down as she wheeled along her suitcase with one hand and pushed her baby’s pram with the other.

Meanwhile, her mother Sarie – dressed in khaki t-shirt and black slacks – looked very excited to have her daughter home as she pushed along the rest of her famous daughter’s luggage.

The sighting comes just a few weeks after Margot was slammed online for her starring role in the latest version of the acclaimed novel Wuthering Heights, currently being filmed in the UK.

The award-winning Hollywood star is set to play the young heroine of the famed book, alongside fellow Australian star Jacob Elordi.

After a series of images of the Barbie actress on set went public last month, fans appeared outraged over Margot’s casting, claiming the Hollywood beauty is ‘wrong’ for the part.

The pictures showed Margot playing the lead character of Catherine, outfitted in a stunning off-the-shoulder dress which featured a voluminous skirt.

She also wore a veil and had her beautiful blonde locks in an artful braid.

Taking to X, fans moaned that Margot and her handsome co-star will ‘ruin’ the famed 18th century novel by Emily Brontë, which has been filmed many times over the last 100 years.

‘I barely read anymore but Wuthering Heights is one of my favourite books and the book I ALWAYS came back to and… Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie are RUINING it,’ one X user said, adding: ‘I hate them so bad!’

Sharing a picture of Margot in costume from the set, an X user complained: ‘Seeing Margot Robbie as Catherine from Wuthering Heights in that godawful dress just ruined my entire week’.

‘Margot Robbie fans need to be quiet about that stupid Wuthering Heights adaptation before I blow up,’ moaned another X user.

‘And when you think things can’t get any worse here comes Margot Robbie în Wuthering Heights,’ posted another angry literary enthusiast.

Some fans detailed their objections to Margot’s casting of the tragic character, saying the Australian-born star is too old for the role.

Readers commonly understand Margot’s character Cathy is no more than 19, though her exact age is never spelt out in the novel.

‘Look at this 17-year-old teenager in 1783,’ one online user said after sharing Margot’s on set pH๏τos.

Meanwhile, Heathcliff, whose character is about 40 by the end of the story, will be portrayed by 27-year-old Elordi.

Other users appeared to attack the filmmakers for their styling of Margot, believing the look as seen in the leaked pH๏τos is not ‘right’ for a story set in the 18th century.

‘Oh yes, the highlights and the tan scream 1700s,’ whined one fan.

Meanwhile, her mother Sarie Kessler looked very excited to have her daughter home as she slipped into a khaki T-shirt and black slacks, pushing along the rest of her famous daughter's luggage

First published in 1847, the beloved novel focuses on the character of Heathcliff and his doomed love for the beautiful Catherine.

Heathcliff is one of the most infamous and complex romantic heroes in Western literature, known for his brooding nature and obsession with Cathy.

There have been a number of film adaptions of the book over the years, with perhaps the most well known being the 1939 version directed by William Wyler, and starring Merle Oberon and Laurence Olivier.

The most recent adaption is the 2011 film by Andrea Arnold, starring Kaya Scodelario and James Howson.

Kaya was just 19 at the time.

Fans of the novel also mocked the decision to use actors who they felt ‘look like they belong on Instagram’ in a period film set in the 1800s.

Some even questioned whether director Emerald Fennell, 38, who also directed Saltburn, had actually read Emily Brontë’s classic novel.

Additionally, there was backlash over the perceived ‘whitewashing’ of Heathcliff, a character often described as ‘dark-skinned’ and subjected to racist abuse.

In the book, Heathcliff is portrayed with dark hair, dark eyes, and dark skin, with many readers believing he has Roma heritage.
