Margot Robbie was apparently “mortified” by Barbie set-leaks
Looks like life in plastic isn’t always so fantastic for the cast of Barbie
Has any movie ever dominated the news cycle so far in advance of its release quite like Greta Gerwig’s Barbie? The magenta-hued film, which is not slated to premiere until July 2023, has gone viral again and again (remember when Ryan Gosling wouldn’t stop talking about “Ken-ergy”?), but never with quite as much fervor as with those original set-leaks. You know the ones: Targaryen-haired Gosling and Margot Robbie are roller-skating in the tackiest, brightest, most ‘80s outfits imaginable. In the background, it looks like all of Los Angeles has come out to gawk at the odd couple. Everything is so, so neon; they may have even helped inspire a real-life fashion trend.
Margot Robbie’s reaction to the photos was not as fawning as the rest of the internet’s. “I can’t tell you how mortified we were, by the way,” the actor said of the leaks in a recent appearance on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon. “We look like we’re, like, laughing and having fun, but dying on the inside. Dying. I was like, this is the most humiliating moment of my life.”
