Margot Robbie recently had her own Notting Hill moment when she stumbled upon a group of men discussing her movie Barbie at a pub in Scotland. This situation mirrored a scene from the popular 90s romantic comedy where Julia Roberts' character overhears men talking about her in a restaurant. Robbie shared this experience at a SAG-AFTRA screening of the film in Los Angeles.
She revealed that she listened in on the conversation for about 30 minutes, with the men unaware of her presence just a few feet away. The men were debating the cultural impact of the Barbie movie, with some refusing to see it and others insisting it was a significant moment in pop culture.
Intrigued by their discussion, Robbie approached the group before leaving the pub and thanked them for watching the movie. The men were amazed and took a moment to comprehend that they were in the presence of the film's star.
Robbie found people's reactions to the movie to be the most rewarding aspect of the entire experience. She also addressed the controversy surrounding the Oscar nominations and acknowledged that Greta Gerwig should have been nominated for Best Director. Despite the snub, Robbie remains grateful for the success the film has achieved and the impact it has made on popular culture.
