Margot Robbie recently said that being photographed filming the Barbie movie by paparazzi was "humiliating."
When photos from the set of Greta Gerwig's highly-anticipated movie emerged earlier this year, fans couldn't get enough of the Australian actress, 32, and her co-star Ryan Gosling in their eye-catching costumes.
However, filming a movie outside with so many people watching was not such a great experience for Robbie.
"I can't tell you how mortified we were, by the way," Robbie said during an appearance Tuesday on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
"We look like we're like laughing, having fun, but [we're] dying on the inside... Dying. I was like, this is the most humiliating moment of my life."
Filming began in March 2022 and ever since, photos of Robbie and Gosling in the roles of Barbie and Ken have been dropping.
"So I knew there would be a little bit of attention, and probably some photos would get out there, but not like it did," Robbie continued. "It was like mad. It was like hundreds of people watching all the time."
Speaking about the upcoming movie, Robbie said she hopes it will be "aspirational."
"I think it's a great opportunity to put some positivity out in the world and a chance to be aspirational for younger kids," Robbie told Variety in 2019.
The movie's cast features Gosling and Robbie joined by America Ferrera, Simu Liu, Kate McKinnon, Saoirse Ronan, Will Ferrell and more.
In 2020, Robbie spoke with The Hollywood Reporter about her character and what people can expect.
"We like the things that feel a little left of center. Something like Barbie where the IP, the name itself, people immediately have an idea of, 'Oh, Margot is playing Barbie, I know what that is,' but our goal is to be like, 'Whatever you're thinking, we're going to give you something totally different—the thing you didn't know you wanted,'" she said.
She also told Vogue that role was challenging but that was excited to work with Gerwig.
"Right, it comes with a lot of baggage. And a lot of nostalgic connections. But with that come a lot of exciting ways to attack it. People generally hear Barbie and think, 'I know what that movie is going to be,' and then they hear that Greta Gerwig is writing and directing it, and they're like, 'Oh, well, maybe I don't,'" she said.
Barbie is set to be released in theaters on July 21, 2023.
