Australian actress Margot Robbie has poked fun at the typical “sexy librarian” stereotype in a sketch that quickly became disturbing during the season premiere of Saturday Night Live.
The Suicide Squad star used her high-profile appearance on the US sketch show to wear a T-shirt promoting equality for same-sex couples.
It featured the slogan ‘Say ‘I Do’ Down Under’ alongside a map of Australia in rainbow colours.
The campaign is the brainchild of Kylie Minogue’s fiancé, British actor Joshua Sasse.
‘I was shocked to find out earlier this year that same-sex marriage in Australia is still illegal,’ he said.
‘Let’s raise our voice and public support for change.’
Robbie was on hosting duties for the opening episode of SNL’s 42nd season, which also saw Alec Baldwin impersonating US presidential candidate Donald Trump.
