Los Angeles, Actress Margot Robbie is set to get banjo lessons from English-American singer Marcus Mumford.
The “Suicide Squad” actress thought of learning the musical instrument while self-isolating at home amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
During a conversation with actress Carey Mulligan in an interview with Australia s Vogue magazine, Mulligan said her husband Mumford will be glad to teach Robbie, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
“I went out to buy myself a banjo! I m learning French right now, too, and I was like: Now s the time , because I ve always wanted to play the banjo,” Robbie said.
To which, Mulligan replied: “I know someone who could give you lessons on FaceTime. He is really, really bored, he would 100 per cent give you lessons. I ll hook you up.”
Robbie was delighted with the offer.
She said: “Really? I would actually really love that. I think everyone is going to come out of this with a whole new perspective of life and a whole array of very bizarre hobbies.”
While Robbie is learning banjo, Mulligan is learning to knit.
She said: “I was prepping a job and we were going to start shooting in a couple of weeks. I feel like we re all going through shock and trying to readjust (in lockdown). I just ordered a knitting set from Amazon so I could learn to knit. I went: This is the time .”
