International fans of Aussie stars Margot Robbie and Liam Hemsworth have been left speechless by a resurfaced clip of the pair in the long-running soap Neighbours.

But it's not their acting that's causing a stir but rather their very thick Australian accents.

The clip has amassed over 1.3 millions view on TikTok with more than 500 comments about the duo's time on Ramsey Street.

One user commented, "I forgot Margot was Aussie," and another wrote, "This is the first time I've seen Margot Robbie act in an Australian accent".

The viral video portrays the Barbie star and the Hunger Games actor on the show back in 2008 during a scene where their two characters are in the middle of a particularly heated conversation.

In the clip Margot's character drops the classic but 'cringey' line: "Talk to the hand".

Some fans of the pair admit they have trouble understanding what they are saying.

"Thank god there are subtitles," one person said.

Both stars got their start on the popular Australian soap.

And they are not the only ones.

A number of actors have gone on to bigger and better things in Hollywood after roles on either Neighbours or Home and Away, including Russell Crowe who played Kenny Larkin on Neighbours, Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan, Isla Fisher, Heath Ledger, Melissa George and Julian McMahon.
