“I love you, I will do anything with you”: Margot Robbie Calls Wonder Woman Star Gal Gadot a Real Life ‘Barbie’
With Margot Robbie’s Barbie gradually moving towards the theatres, the Greta Gerwig movie has got the entire tinsel town painted in pink. With only a few days to its release, the world has taken over the Barbie magic. From Barbie merchandise to trending hashtags on TikTok- the movie is way ahead in its marketing game.
With the promotions of the Margot Robbie starrer movie going in full swing, a lot has been spoken about Barbie in the media. One of the most interesting facts that came forward was that the Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot was the first choice for Margot Robbie’s character in Barbie.
Why Margot Robbie Feels Gal Gadot is A Real-Life Barbie?
During the casting of the multiple Barbies for the romantic -comedy, Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie were looking for someone who had a perfect combination of the famous Mattel doll’s beauty and cheerfulness. The director-actor went through multiple names from the entertainment industry but wanted to go ahead with Gal Gadot.
During an interview with the reputed media outlet Vogue, Margot Robbie spoke about Gal Gadot and the kind of Barbie energy the actor carries with her. She said-
“Gal Gadot is Barbie energy. Because Gal Gadot is so impossibly beautiful, but you don’t hate her for being that beautiful, because she’s so genuinely sincere, and she’s so enthusiastically kind, that it’s almost dorky. It’s like right before being a dork.”
However, Gal Gadot was busy with the filming of her upcoming movie Snow White and could not become a part of Barbie Land. Recently, during an interview, Margot Robbie spoke about the actor and mentioned-
“I love her so much, she was our barometer for Barbie energy, and she like within two minutes makes you feel like, you’re her best friend, and you feel so loved and valued and also like she’s so pretty and like just so nice”

Margot Robbie On Her Look-Alike Sex Education Star Emma Mackey
The Sex Education star Emma Mackey’s striking facial resemblance to Margot Robbie and her association with Barbie is something that cannot go unnoticed. The French-British actor is playing the role of physicist Barbie in the Greta Gerwig-directed movie.
During a recent interview with the media platform Buzzfeed, The Wolf Of The Wall Street actor was asked about her experience of working with her doppelganger, Emma Mackey. The actor replied-
“[Mackey] plays one of the Barbies in the movie pretty much because Greta and I thought it would be funny. We were gonna do this whole joke about us looking similar.”
“But once we got all dressed up as our Barbies, we were kind of like, ‘We don’t actually look that similar’. Like, when she’s got her brown hair and I’ve got my blonde hair, we don’t look that similar, so we didn’t put that joke in the movie.”
Barbie is set to release in the theatres on July 21, 2023, worldwide.
