Margot Robbie Says ‘Barbie’ Sets Were A “Priority” & Asked Director Greta Gerwig To Include One Particular Detail

deadline.com:

Margot Robbie is one of the executive producers of Barbie and worked closely with Greta Gerwig to bring the Mattel doll to life.

The star recently opened up about the one favor she asked of Gerwig when talking about the project. “Coming into this movie, that was such a priority — the sets,” Robbie said on The Kelly Clarkson Show. “And then getting to see them be built right in front of us and they were just huge real-life versions of the Dreamhouse.

It was so amazing and so beautiful.” She continued, “And it was the first thing I said to Greta when we first sat down and talked about the movie.

I’ll follow your vision. Whatever you want this Barbie movie to be, let’s do that. Except I just have one favor. Please, please, please can we have a Dreamhouse where she has a slide that goes from her bedroom down to her pool because that is my goal in life.” Gerwig ultimately made it happen for Robbie to live out her childhood dreams as the Barbie Dreamhouse came to life.
