Margot Robbie is a native of Australia, but that didn’t prevent her from forgetting that the title of her new movie has a very different meaning Down Under.

While promoting “Barbie”, Robbie appeared alongside director Greta Gerwig on Aussie talk show “The Project”, when the show’s co-host pointed out that the word “barbie” may refer to the iconic doll, but also has a second meaning to Australians. “What does it mean here?” Robbie asked, leading to several people in the studio reminding her that it’s slang for barbecue.
