In a recent interview with Vogue, Margot Robbie, the talented actress and producer behind the highly anticipated movie “Barbie,” openly expressed her admiration for Gal Gadot’s incredible beauty and infectious energy. Robbie revealed that both she and the film’s director, Greta Gerwig, were in full agreement about casting Gadot as the lead character. However, unfortunate scheduling conflicts, including Gadot’s involvement in the upcoming movie “Snow White,” set to hit the screens in March 2024, led to her declining the role. Robbie emphasized that they were irresistibly drawn to Gadot’s stunning looks and her ability to embody the essence of Barbie with her vibrant energy. She also commended Gadot for her genuine kindness and sincerity. This casting setback comes after comedian Amy Schumer was initially announced as the Barbie lead by Sony in 2016, only to withdraw from the project a year later due to conflicting commitments.
According to a report from Hollywood Reporter in 2019, Margot Robbie confirmed that she would be playing the role of Barbie. Surprisingly, Robbie admitted that she was never a fan of playing with Barbie dolls during her childhood, even though she was now taking on the iconic character. She explained, “I never had an interest in dolls and never considered becoming Barbie until this project came along.” During an interview with Vogue, Robbie addressed the highly sℯxualized image of Barbie and had an interesting perspective. She stated, “Barbie is essentially a plastic toy that lacks any organs. If there are no organs, then there certainly wouldn’t be any genitalia. It’s inappropriate to project sℯxual desires onto a toy like that.” The release of the Barbie movie is highly anticipated and is set for July 21. Alongside Robbie, the film boasts a star-studded cast including Ryan Gosling, Will Ferrell, Simu Liu, Emma Mackey, Issa Rae, Dua Lipa, and John Cena, to name just a few.
Warner Bros recently unveiled two captivating trailers for the highly-anticipated Barbie movie, featuring the talented Margot Robbie as the lead. The first trailer gives audiences a nostalgic glimpse of Barbie, as she dons a classic striped swimsuit reminiscent of the original 1959 Mattel doll. On the other hand, the second trailer delves deeper into the enchanting world of Barbie and introduces her charismatic partner, Ken, portrayed by the talented Ryan Gosling. Born in Dalby, Queensland, Margot Robbie hails from Australia and initially gained recognition through her role in the popular television series, Neighbors. Since then, she has carved a successful path in Hollywood, starring in acclaimed films such as The Wolf of Wall Street, Suicide Squad, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Robbie’s remarkable talent has garnered her three Golden Globe nominations and two Oscar nominations throughout her illustrious career.
Gal Gadot, an Israeli actress and model, was born in Rosh Ha’ayin on April 30, 1985. Her father worked as an engineer while her mother was a teacher. Despite receiving offers from various modeling agencies, Gadot didn’t have any interest in pursuing a career in modeling. Instead, she had dreams of becoming a dance teacher. When she reached the age of 18, she served in the Israel Defense Forces for a duration of two years. In 2004, Gadot participated in the Miss Israel competition purely for fun. However, to her surprise, she emerged victorious and earned the title. It was during this time that director Justin Lin happened to notice Gadot’s military background while he was searching for an actress to portray Giselle, a tough female character, in the Fast and Furious film series. This served as her entry point into the realm of acting. In 2017, Gadot gained worldwide recognition when she took on the lead role in the tremendously successful movie, Wonder Woman. This role played a significant role in propelling her to global stardom.
Gadot entered into matrimony with Yaron Versano, a successful entrepreneur, in 2008. Their marital union has resulted in the joyous addition of three children to their family. An esteemed beauty assessment website, TC Candler, bestowed upon her the impressive rank of 12th among the world’s 100 most enchanting female visages in 2022. One significant moment in Gadot’s career was her appearance at the premiere of “Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice” in London during March of 2016, which was captured in a video shared by the YouTube channel Splash News.
