Greta Gerwig co-signs Jo Koy’s joke about Barbie and her ‘big boobies’: ‘He was right on’
Barbie” director Greta Gerwig said Wednesday that she agrees with Jo Koy‘s joke that her box office hit was based “on a plastic doll with big boobies.” The joke came during Koy’s opening monologue for Sunday’s award ceremony, where he stated that: “‘Oppenheimer’ is based on a 721-page Pulitzer Prize-winning book about the Manhattan Project, and ‘Barbie’ is on a plastic doll with big boobies.”Despite being slammed on social media by one netizen who called the joke sexist, Gerwig admitted that Koy, 52, had a point. “Well, he’s not wrong,” Gerwig, 40, laughed while chatting with BBC Radio 4’s “Today” program.
