One of Margot Robbie’s impressive traits, other than her perfect feet that have made appearances throughout her filmography, is her ability to portray the American accent. It helps that the Aussie actress moved to the U.S. in the 2010s before starring in the drama series Pan Am and filming her breakthrough role with Leonardo DiCaprio in The Wolf of Wall Street. On the other hand, spending so much time in the U.S. could mean forgetting certain Australian slang words. The Barbie lead had that particularly awkward experience in a new interview when she forgot what the meaning of the word “Barbie” is in Australia.
Margot Robbie was born in Dalby, Queensland, Australia who made her start in acting in the Australian soap opera Neighbours from 2008-2011 before transitioning to the US not too long after. Getting to portray American characters for over a decade could lead to some brain hiccups once in a while about your own hometown. Robbie had a similar awkward experience in an interview on the Australian program The Project when she forgot for a second what the term “Barbie” means in the land down under. Take a look at the hilarious Twitter video of the interview down below.
