However, ever since Sex Education aired, the actress has received offers for several movies and TV shows. She has successfully managed to bag big roles including an important role in Death on the Nile. She will be acting alongside DC’s Wonder Woman Gal Galdot in the movie which is set to premiere in early 2022.
Love Life

Emma Mackey Lookalike
Emma Mackey and the suicide squad actress Margot Robbie look almost exactly alike! In fact, Margot told fans in an interview with BBC one that she has been mistaken as Emma Mackey several times in Australia.
The resemblance between the two is uncanny. From their platinum blonde hair to their wide smiles to their expressive eyebrows, the two actresses look like spitting images of each other.
However, Emma Mackey doesn’t like being compared to Margot. She told the Independent in an interview “I genuinely just don’t see it at all. Like, it’s lovely to be compared to Margot Robbie, but mostly I’d rather people focus on the jobs that we’re both doing rather than what we look like.” She also said that she wishes people would stop the comparison!
