‘Barbie’ Film Addresses Concept Of Power ‘Hierarchy,’ According To Margot Robbie

The popular doll character in Greta Gerwig’s newest film, “Barbie,” played by actress Margot Robbie, says the film explores the idea of power “hierarchy.”

With the assistance of the wise “Weird Barbie,” played by Kate McKinnon, 39, Barbie sets off on a voyage of self-discovery in the real world with Ken, portrayed by Ryan Gosling, 42, along for the trip. She discovers cellulite on her flawless legs and her well-known feet suddenly go flat.

Singer Dua Lipa, 27, who portrays Mermaid Barbie in the movie, and co-stars Will Ferrell, 55, Issa Rae, 38, and Hairi Nef, 30, who help make up the project’s 10 Barbies and four Kens, were also present at the “Barbie” premiere.

Barbie’s coming-of-age in the movie, according to Margot, goes like this: “There’s this age when suddenly you become self-conscious. And you essentially conceal yourself in place.
