A Vanity Fair profile of Margot Robbie has been heavily criticised for its bizarre descriptions of both the actress and her native Australia.

Robbie, 26, was profiled by Vanity Fair contributing editor Rich Cohen for the magazine's August cover story.

However, the profile has been destroyed on social media for spending a lot more time giving odd descriptions of Robbie's physical appearance than the Tarzan actress' talent.

In his opening paragraph, Cohen describes Robbie as, "... blonde but dark at the roots. She is tall but only with the help of certain shoes."
