Margot Robbie surprises men in UK pub after hearing them talking about Barbie

It took a full minute for them to realise who she was

Imagine sitting in the pub, quietly enjoying your pint and having a talk with your pal when Hollywood actress Margot Robbie starts chatting to you.

I mean, it's definitely not your average Saturday night in the local but for two guys in a Scotland boozer it happened.

Speaking a SAG-AFTRA screening of Barbie in Los Angeles, Robbie explained that she'd overheard a group of men talking about the movie.

And is it any surprise that they were talking about Barbie?

The movie managed to dominate the box office as the highest grossing movie of 2023 and become a cultural landmark at the same time.

I mean, some were using it as a test for potential dates.

According to the Suicide Squad star, she was 'in a pub in the middle of nowhere in Scotland' when she overheard their conversation.

"I listened for about 30 minutes to a group of guys on a bachelor party discussing the Barbie movie, not knowing that I was sitting two or three feet away from them." she said.

"One guy was like, 'Dude, it is a cultural moment, don’t you want to be a part of culture?' And the other guy was like, ‘'I’ll never see it' and by the end, he did want to see it. It was a whole thing."

Whilst she could have just listened in and left it at that, Robbie took it one step further.

"I went to their table and I went, ‘Thank you for seeing the Barbie movie'. It was very funny, they lost it. It took a full minute for them to realise and I was practically out the door and they went, 'Ohhh'."

I don't they were expecting to see Robbie either - so I can imagine how the conversation preceded.

This comes after the Wolf of Wall Street star and director Greta Gerwig were not included in the Best Actress and a Best Director categories for the Oscars - leaving Barbie fans stunned.

However, the star refused to be deflated.

There’s no way to feel sad when you know you’re this blessed." she said, adding that she is 'beyond ecstatic that we’ve got eight Academy Award nominations'

"It’s so wild." Robbie said.

Barbie has been nominated for Best Picture and Ryan Gosling was nominated for Best Supporting Actor, while America Ferrera is in the running for Best Supporting Actress.

The film was also nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Original Song, Costume Design and Production Design - which Robbie said was 'incredible'.

"Everyone getting the nods that they’ve had is just incredible, and the Best Picture nod." she continued to say.

"Obviously I think Greta should be nominated as a director because what she did is a once-in-a-career, once-in-a-lifetime thing, what she pulled off, it really is. But it’s been an incredible year for all the films.

"We set out to do something that would shift culture, affect culture, just make some sort of impact.

Advert

“And it’s already done that, and some, way more than we ever dreamed it would.

"And that is truly the biggest reward that could come out of all of this."
