Aussie Margot Robbie Blames ‘Jet Lag’ When She Forgets That ‘Barbie’ Has A Different Meaning Down Under

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter The battle of the bomb versus the bombshell has gone global. Over the weekend, Greta Gerwig’s very pink fantasy-comedy “Barbie” collected a stunning $182 million at the international box office, bringing its worldwide total to $337 million. Meanwhile, Christopher Nolan’s R-rated historical drama “Oppenheimer” held its own, igniting to $93.7 million from 78 markets for a huge global tally of $174 million. The two seemingly different blockbusters, which were jokingly pitted against each other, crushed already-stratospheric expectations thanks to the cultural phenomenon known as “Barbenheimer.” Hundreds of thousands of moviegoers booked a double feature for the ages, attending same-day viewings of “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer.”

This Morning presenter and ex-popstar Rochelle Humes took her two daughters to watch Margot Robbie's latest movie Barbie on Sunday.

Directed by the Oscar-nominated Greta Gerwig, Barbie takes its obvious cues from Mattel's timeless blonde doll, with Australian superstar Margot, 33, playing the eponymous character opposite Ryan Gosling's hilariously devoted Ken, as the pair must venture into the real world to track down the disenfranchised child playing with her.

Margot Robbie admitted in a recent interview she was a "dramatic" child who once pretended to be dead — complete with ketchup blood and a kitchen knife — to get rid of a babysitter she didn’t like.  "We got a new babysitter, and I wanted my old babysitter back, Talia, who was like 16. And I thought she was so cool," the Australian native told BBC Radio 2.

At a time when the industry is suffering through historic dual strikes by the WGA and SAG-AFTRA, the motion picture industry is poised to see an enormous weekend at the box office with Warner Bros./Mattel’s long awaited toy feature adaptation Barbie and Christopher Nolan’s World War II era three-hour adult drama Oppenheimer reaping a combined $260M+ global start.

not fantastic. “Barbie” director Greta Gerwig has revealed her refusal to CGI a certain body part of the famous doll in the upcoming film, calling the very idea “terrifying.” “There was a big discussion in the beginning,” Gerwig, 39, told the hosts of Australian talk show “The Project.” “Everyone said, ‘Are you going to CGI all the feet?’ And I thought, ‘Oh god, no!
