In June, pictures from the set of the film “Barbie” make the rounds. Actress Margot Robbie and her colleague Ryan Gosling can be seen in neon outfits on rollerblades. For the 32-year-old, it was one of the most embarrassing moments of her life, as she now reveals.
Margot Robbie has called the leaked photos from the set of her upcoming movie Barbie one of the most embarrassing and humiliating moments of her life. At the end of June, paparazzi photos from the shooting on Venice Beach in Los Angeles were released. These showed the Australian actress and her Canadian co-star Ryan Gosling in flashy, neon-colored outfits on roller blades. The snapshots drew a lot of ridicule and malice – especially on social media.
Robbie spoke about the photos on “The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon”. “I can’t tell you how embarrassed we were,” said 32-year-old Robbie. The two were seen smiling in the pictures, but inside she and Gosling “died” at that point. “I was like, ‘This is the most embarrassing moment of my life!'” Robbie continued.
She had no idea that the pictures would make such a round in the media, even though she knew she was being photographed. “It was amazing, hundreds of people were watching.” It was immediately clear to her that her outfits could “stand out a bit”.
At least afterwards, Ryan Gosling has no problem with this performance on Venice Beach. According to his own statements, he was immediately enthusiastic about his appearance as Ken. When he saw himself in the role for the first time, he thought: “Finally, finally it’s happening,” he told the industry magazine “Variety” in July. “It’s been going on all my life.” Gosling said he felt like he was seeing himself. And: “I felt seen. I think a lot of Kens will feel represented when they see that.” He does it “for the Kens of this world”.
Oscar-nominated director Greta Gerwig’s romantic comedy Barbie is set to hit theaters on July 21, 2023.
