MARGOT’S TRIP BACK IN TIME

- EMILY SELLECK

MARGOT Robbie has shared her trip back in time to help bring to life one of Britain’s most-loved children’s authors.

The Gold Coast actor yesterday posted images of her portrayal of Daphne Milne in Goodbye Christophe­r Robin.

The movie follows the origins of Winnie the Pooh, the bear’s creator A.A. Milne and his son Christophe­r Robin, whose collection of stuffed animals inspired the books.

“Had the most magical time shooting this,” Margot, whose Daphne is Christophe­r’s mum, wrote on Instagram.

“Trust me, you don’t want to miss #GoodbyeChr­istopherRo­bin.”

The new footage focuses on Milne’s experience during the war and how it inspired him to tell a story that would stop people from hurting each other in a grief-stricken, postWorld War I England.

Milne is seen walking through the woods with his son, which he brought to life in the Hundred-Acre Wood. There’s even a sneaky reference to the loveable donkey Eeyore.

The film, due for release in October, also stars Harry Potter actor Domhnall Gleeson and Kelly Macdonald.
