Recently, Margot Robbie shared a hilarious and memorable experience she had while visiting a pub in Scotland. The talented actress, known for her roles in films like 'Barbie' and 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,' recounted the amusing encounter during a SAG-AFTRA screening of 'Barbie' in Los Angeles.
Robbie explained that she overheard a group of men at a stag party passionately discussing the hit film 'Barbie' in the pub. Intrigued by their conversation, she decided to silently listen in for about 30 minutes, amused by their animated exchange. One of the men went on about how the film was a cultural moment, urging his friends to be a part of it. However, one skeptic among the group initially declared that he would never watch it.
After soaking in the discussion, Robbie couldn't resist joining in on the fun. She approached the group's table and humorously thanked them for watching the 'Barbie' movie. The men were taken aback, completely surprised to find the star of the film standing right in front of them. It took a moment for them to process the situation, but once they realized who she was, they couldn't contain their excitement.
Reflecting on the encounter, Robbie expressed that the interaction was full of laughter and humor. It took the group a good minute to comprehend that they had been chatting about the film with its lead actress just a few feet away. Robbie found it amusing how her presence caught them off guard and shared her amusement at their delayed realization.
This lighthearted story from Robbie comes after the announcement of the Oscar nominations, where she and her film 'Barbie' received eight nominations, including Best Picture. Despite not receiving a nomination herself, Robbie expressed joy and gratitude for the recognition the film has received. She praised her co-star Greta Gerwig, the film's director, and emphasized the impact and cultural significance that 'Barbie' has already made.
Robbie mentioned that the film's goal was to create something that would shift and affect culture, leaving a lasting impact, and she believes that it has already achieved far more than they anticipated. She expressed her contentment with the positive response received so far, recognizing it as the ultimate reward for their hard work.
Margot Robbie's funny encounter in the Scottish pub adds a delightful anecdote to her journey with the film 'Barbie.' It showcases her ability to seamlessly blend in, even when surrounded by fans discussing the very movie she starred in. With the Oscars approaching, it's clear that Robbie is focused on the film's success as a whole, celebrating the impact it has had on audiences rather than dwelling on personal recognition.
