Barbie girl in a Barbie world! Woman was Margot Robbie's body double on upcoming film and even left star 'startled'

A young actress has revealed her first acting gig was Margot Robbie's body double in the upcoming Barbie film - claiming even the star mistook her for her own reflection. Emma Eastwood was signed up to be Margot's body double in July 2022 by her acting agency after being dropped as an extra from the film.

Despite it being the 26-year-old's first professional acting stint she admits it was 'iconic' to stand in for Barbie - and Robbie. Whilst filming, she wore the same costumes as Margot meaning that their bodies had to be exactly the same size and said her favourite outfit was Barbie's blue sailor dress.

And Emma says that whenever she tells men that she is a big fan of the actress, they often tell her she looks like Margot herself - in a bid to 'flirt' with her. The young actress admits she only got to meet the star a couple of times but Margot was 'startled' when she saw Emma and exclaimed that she'd 'never ran into herself before'.
