How the Cast of Barbie Turned Plastic
The Barbie movie was filled with tons of fun and many interesting behind-the-scenes moments. Margot Robbie hosted a Barbie sleepover for the cast – not a single Ken allowed – where they hung out, shared beds, and ordered room service. There was a running joke about how America Ferrera couldn’t remember meeting any of her co-stars prior to shooting the film. The movie also highlighted Ryan Gosling’s incredible comedic talent, often causing Margot Robbie to break character with her laughter. Issa Rae had to learn a dance sequence in under 24 hours while the rest of the cast had already been working on it for days. Margot Robbie also got to have one of her childhood fantasies fulfilled when she asked Greta Gerwig if she could have a real-life Barbie dream house with a slide that goes from her bedroom all the way down to the pool. Greta said no problem on that one. The movie addresses the evolution of Barbie, which was a big reason why America Farrera even ended up joining the cast because it not only highlights the positives of Barbie’s effect on society but the negatives as well. Margot Robbie was invested in the project for years, but never saw herself as being the one to actually play the role of Barbie – not for many years down the line, anyway. Overall, the stellar combination of Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig proved to be a major success in bringing the iconic character of Barbie into the real world.
