Margot Robbie gets candid about the iconic doll ‘Barbie’: ‘She is a pioneer’

The Wolf of Wall Street star said in an interview with the Mirror that the famous doll is actually a ‘pioneer.’

Talking about the highly anticipated comedy drama, Robbie defended Barbie’s reputation ahead of the film release.

“I think people had a preconceived idea about what the movie would be. Then, when it was -announced Greta was ¬directing, all these ideas went out the window,” the actor told the outlet.

“Bringing Barbie to life was something I just couldn’t say no to,” the 32-year-old added.

“It’s a fun movie – a comedy – but it’s also going to have aspects people don’t expect,” Margot continued.

“I don’t think Barbie can be accused of being a dumb blonde as she has been a surgeon, a vet and a pilot so, if anything, she is a pioneer,” she noted about the doll.
