Visitors visiting the “Barbie” set gave Ryan Gosling a high five but “wouldn’t say anything” to Margot Robbie

Greta Gerwig, the director, said that certain “Barbie” set visitors made Margot Robbie feel “self-conscious” during shooting because they spoke to Ryan Gosling, who plays her co-star, far more often than they talked to her.

on a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Gerwig discussed the time the cast and crew spent on Venice Beach shooting a rollerblading sequence, according to ‘Variety’.


During filming last summer, set pictures from the moment, which featured Robbie and Gosling dressed in neon attire, went viral on social media.

Barbie behaves exactly like her surroundings in Barbieland, according to Gerwig.

“Even the dwellings have no walls since there is nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about, thus you never need to conceal. The core of being human is waking up in the actual world and immediately wishing you could hide. However, it was exciting to see since it was literally occurring in front of us as we were filming on Venice Beach with Margot and Ryan dressed in neon rollerblade suits.

“When passing Ryan, onlookers would give him a high-five and exclaim, ‘Awesome, Ryan, you look terrific!’ They also refused to communicate with Margot, according to Gerwig.

They would only gaze at her. It was just bizarre. She was cognizant of her appearance at that very time. I also wanted to defend her in my capacity as director. However, I was also aware that the moment we were filming had to be the one in which she felt vulnerable. She was made public, both as a star and a woman.

To be fair, Ryan said, “I wish I wasn’t wearing this vest,” but it was a different type of pain, according to Gerwig.

One of the earliest Internet phenomena to emerge from the “Barbie” movie was the rollerblading costumes. When Robbie appeared on “The Tonight Show” the previous year, he described the picture releases as “mortifying.”

When presenter Jimmy Fallon displayed the “Barbie” set shot to viewers, Robbie remarked, “I can’t tell you how horrified we were, by the way. “We seem to be smiling and having a good time, but we’re really dying inside. Dying. This is the most embarrassing time of my life, I thought.

Robbie said, “No! I never expected the ‘Barbie’ set pictures would dominate online talk the way they did. I mean, I understood that we needed to film some exteriors in Los Angeles. When you started taking outdoor photos, I knew you’d get photographed. Because we stand out a little bit in those costumes, there will probably be a little gathering of people who will pay attention. I thus anticipated some interest and maybe even some photographs going viral, but not to the extent that it happened. Finally, Robbie said, “It was crazy. It seemed like hundreds of people were always watching.
