It seems some people are immune to Margot Robbie's charm as an Uber driver has reportedly rejected the Hollywood actress' invitation to a party, opting instead to watch "Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi."

30-year-old Robert Bregnsdal from Gold Coast, Queensland allegedly turned down Margot's Holiday party invitation just so he could spend the boys' night out watching the latest "Star Wars" movie. More so than that, Robert also did not regret not spending the night with Margot and company.

"I don't regret going to watch Star Wars with the lads at all. It was epic. I started a post with the hashtag #neverdogtheboys,"  stated Robert who was seemingly unfazed despite being contacted by Margot after a successful Uber service. Robert's girlfriend, on the other hand, had wished his boyfriend could have taken up the offer, due to how rare it was and even suggested that he make something up just to see Margot again.

Robert's friends also shared the same opinion as her girlfriend, though they could also have been thankful that he chose them over the 27-year-old AAA actress. Luckily, Margot was not offended at being turned down at her offer to the Uber driver.

Robert got into contact with Margot and her husband Tom Ackerley Carrara when the couple needed a lift to Miami Beach on Boxing Day. Robert initially was not even sure that it was Margot at first since she wore a hat, but he immediately recognized her face. The three had a great chat on the way where Robert even claimed that Margot had a great and casual personality and was not stuck up or snobbish.

Apparently the actress and her husband took a liking to Robert after the drive and invited him to one of their big parties stating that he would fit right in. As it is, Robert may not get another chance at being invited to Margot's party, not that he would mind.
