In a recent interview on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Margot Robbie shared her feelings about the unexpected internet frenzy caused by leaked set pictures from the upcoming Barbie movie. The Australian actress, who is currently promoting her film "Amsterdam," revealed that she and co-star Ryan Gosling were "mortified" by the attention the images received.
Despite expecting some public interest during the exterior shoots in Los Angeles, Robbie expressed her surprise at the extent of the viral spread. The flamboyant neon costumes worn by the cast, coupled with the presence of film cameras and a recognizable crew, intensified the public's focus. Robbie described the situation as "mad," with hundreds of onlookers present at all times.
Robbie acknowledged that while they appeared to be enjoying themselves in the photos, they were actually "dying on the inside." She considered the incident the "most humiliating moment" of her life, wondering how she would handle the attention when the entire movie is released.
Reflecting on the experience, Robbie commended both her and Gosling's professionalism in maintaining composure and completing their work despite the unexpected spotlight. Now that the movie has wrapped, the actors have been praising each other, with Robbie emphasizing Gosling's comedic talents in the film.
As anticipation builds for the release of the Barbie movie next summer, Robbie hopes to navigate the inevitable attention with grace. Despite the initial embarrassment, it seems the actress is ready to embrace the positive buzz surrounding the highly anticipated film.
