- I cannot think of a
movie that had more hair
than the "Barbie" movie,
because everyone had wigs
with 10 times the amount of hair
a wig would normally have in it.
And it was like down to
your waist every time.
And it was so fun.
Hi Teen Vogue,
I'm Margot Robbie and this
is how I became Barbie.
I didn't actually audition
for the role of Barbie,
I produced the film, so
I guess I cast myself.
But I did make it very clear to Greta,
Greta being our writer and director,
she was always who I wanted
to make a Barbie movie with.
I said to her when she said,
"Yes, I'll come on board".
"I don't have to be in the movie".
You know,
"I'm very passionate about
making this as a producer,
but I don't have to play Barbie
or be in the movie in any capacity.
I'm happy just to produce."
And she was like, "No, I really
wanna write this for you".
And she wrote me an amazing part.
So I'm very grateful.
And then in the case of, you know,
Ryan being our Ken,
kinda like the corresponding Ken
to my stereotypical Barbie,
she wrote him into the script as well.
It always said in the script,
"Barbie, Margot" and "Ken, Ryan Gosling".
So, we manifested that
into existence as well.
And [chuckling] just pretty much
wouldn't take no for an answer.
We're like, Ryan, you have to come do it.
It's on the page, you have to. [chuckling]
But I've met him before
and I knew that we got along,
and I had a feeling just based
on things I'd heard about him.
And I love his work.
I have loved his work for so long.
I thought, I think we
would work well together.
And we did.
It was great.
I pretty much made two requests to Greta.
'Cause she asked, you know, like, okay,
"Is there anything that you
want from the Barbie movie?"
I was like, "Yes, two things.
A slide that goes from
her bedroom to her pool.
'Cause that's my dream in life.
And a mermaid Barbie."
And she was like, "Really?
Anything else?"
I was like, "Nope, just those two things.
And it's okay if they can't be there, but,
I'd be so happy."
And of course we've
got Dua Lipa [laughing]
as our mermaid Barbie.
And I certainly have a slide
that goes from my bedroom down to my pool,
and it was so fun.
Literally dreams coming true.
I wasn't actually a
Barbie fanatic as a child.
I actually don't even even
know if I owned a Barbie.
But my cousin had Barbies,
and Barbies were just omnipresent
throughout my childhood,
because you know, she's everywhere.
It wasn't something
that I was really that
focused on or obsessed with.
I don't remember ever like
opening a Christmas present
that was a Barbie.
But I do remember opening
a Christmas present
when I was five years old.
The Barbie foldout house.
Which I was obsessed with,
just the construction of it.
And I think I've been, yeah,
inspired to world build ever since.
Clearly started at a young age.
So then I got to witness in real life
watching [chuckling]
a dream house be built
in front of my eyes,
and I would go in and watch
the construction teams
when we were in pre-production
piecing this together
and making these life-sized dream houses,
which was the most incredible thing.
And people would come to set
and see them for the first
time and actually start crying.
People were just so overwhelmed
by how beautiful they were
but also, just how handmade they felt,
which was always the intention behind it.
I suppose I mentally began becoming Barbie
as soon as I read the script.
I just couldn't not read the script
and be like playing it out in my head,
and kind of trying it on,
and seeing if it fit,
and like, "Oh, how am I gonna do that?"
And because I was talking to
Greta every day, you know,
these discussions were just
constant and ever evolving.
I decorated my trailer,
I do this for all the
characters I play now,
but I went all out for
this character of Barbie.
Pink stuff, fluffy stuff,
things that make me happy,
things that are like cute,
pictures of my friends,
like things like that.
[giggling]
Just so that I'd be in, you know,
a really happy positive kind of mood.
I have a Barbie perfumes,
so that's always the final
thing for my character,
as soon as I put my character perfume on,
I think I relate to
like smell associations,
like sense memory is pretty strong for me.
So as soon as the perfume's
on then I was like,
"Okay, ready". [giggling]
Then I have all the usual things that I do
when I prepped for a character,
working with dialect
coach and an acting coach,
and a movement coach, and research.
Spent time at the Mattel headquarters
speaking to Mattel employees,
asking them about how the brand
has evolved over the years.
What was the impotence
of some of the changes that they made,
and how do you make a Barbie?
You know, I could go there
and watch someone literally
thread Barbie's hair.
But I also did watch, you
know, Barbie documentaries,
did read about the creator, Ruth Handler,
all that kind of history to Barbie.
And also, I watched a bunch of the Barbie,
like she has a YouTube channel.
And one that stuck with me
that wasn't necessarily that
applicable for the movie,
but, I needed to hear it for me in life,
Barbie on her YouTube
channel did this whole thing
about saying thank you and
instead of saying sorry,
and I was like, "Oh wow,
I do that all the time".
I start emails, we're sorry
to bother but, you know,
da-da-dada.
Like sorry, I can't do that.
Barbie has this whole lesson
about like swap out the word
sorry for the word thank you.
Thank you for understanding
that I couldn't do that,
or thank you for hearing me out,
here's what I think of this.
And I was like, "Wow, I can't
believe Barbie just taught me,
I'm a grown woman and Barbie's
still teaching me something."
It was fun and I definitely delved
into whatever aspects
of Barbie I could find
to help me as a person,
but also help me find the character.
The time spent speaking to Greta
was the most valuable for this role.
We had some big lofty questions to ask,
like what is the meaning of life?
What is true happiness?
Why is life worth living?
If you could have perfect
controlled Barbie Land,
what would make you ever
choose anything else?
Goodnight Barbies.
I'm definitely not thinking
about death anymore.
Those questions led to
some pretty deep answers
and conversations.
And not even answers, 'cause
there isn't really an answer.
That's what we kept
coming back to is like,
I can't sum up the meaning of life
in a neat little sentence.
Embodying Barbie actually
helps when you're wearing heels
you already start moving differently,
because you're center of
gravity is in a different place.
Everyone in Barbie Land who's
not one of the main actors,
like a speaking role
actor, were all dancers.
And this is something Greta
had pointed out from the beginning.
She was like, "Dancers hold
themselves differently.
Even when you see a dancer
who's not dancing at the time,
it's like you can tell they're a dancer
'cause they stand with incredible posture,
and they just, they're poised.
It's like they're ready for anything".
And she was, you know, Greta says like,
"You watch an old soundstage musical
and like everyone in the background,
even if they're meant
to be acting casually,
it's like they're looking at a hat".
She wanted that feeling in Barbie Land.
So, embodying that too,
just always being poised,
and there's something very like certain,
very intentional about
existing in Barbie Land.
Like, I'm going to the beach,
I'm saying hi to my
friends, I'm doing this.
Everything, you give
your whole self to it,
and you're brimming with
enthusiasm, and optimism, and joy,
and everything is wonderful,
and it's also very intentional.
I know how I feel about this.
I've never doubted anything
until I start having thoughts of death,
and then suddenly my movements
start get a little uncertain,
maybe my words, I stumble on my words,
and I've got a bit of hesitation,
maybe I go back on
myself a little bit more,
and you know,
in doing that you're
becoming a little more human.
The hair and makeup process
maybe wasn't as long as you'd expect.
I've done movies where my
whole body's been painted
and tattooed, and things like that,
and that's pretty lengthy.
I think we had this down
to about an hour, 45
to do hair and makeup.
Get picked up at 6 AM,
get to set at like 6:45.
Hair and makeup, wardrobe,
give that two hours, then you're on set.
Yeah.
With big, big wigs.
You know, the key look for Barbie
was this impossible amount of hair.
I cannot think of a
movie that had more hair
than the "Barbie" movie,
because everyone had wigs with
10 times the amount of hair
a wig would normally have in it.
And it was like down to
your waist every time.
And it was so fun.
But it was a lotta hair.
The wigs kind of made it, 'cause
it helped with that scale.
Like the different proportions of Barbie
giving you that fantasy feel of like,
"Oh, something's not
quite human about her.
She's got impossible hair".
Makeup, we just tried to make
as beautiful as possible.
Greta really liked the look
in these like old technicolor movies
where they had this like creamy
sort of look to their skin,
like this flat look.
"Cause what was most
important with the costumes,
the hair and makeup is that,
you know when you put on an outfit
and you're kind of like,
"I feel really good in this.
Like I think I look good today".
Like, you bring this confidence with you
because you're like, "I'm killing it".
And we wanted everyone
to have that feeling
every day in Barbie Land.
All the outfits are not
one-to-one replicas.
Some are inspired by real life Barbies
that have existed in the past.
There might be a picture
of like Brigitte Bardot
in the fifties or sixties, and
that might inspire an outfit.
Also, the costumes by the
end of the film, you know,
the fabrics we're using
are kind of softer,
something more fragile about the fabrics,
as opposed to like these
like strong geometric
sort of patterns, and very
like sculptured fabrics
that are gonna hold a shape
and tailor it with such certainty.
Kind of by the end of the film
I'm wearing this beautiful dress,
but it's soft, the fabric is soft,
there's something fragile about it.
The pattern of the flowers,
their still flowers,
but there's something more chaotic,
a bit more random about
it, and it's subtle,
but those things all matter.
And the jewelry I'm wearing
stops being like big shell earrings
that the scale of it
starts becoming more human,
It's like a chain necklace and a ring,
you know, that kind of thing.
Ah, on set every day,
every day was the best day
ever, every day was hilarious,
there was so many funny
actors in this film,
from Ryan who is so
comedically gifted as our Ken,
Kate McKinnon,
I've already worked with Kate before
and know that she's hilarious,
but nothing can prepare you
for what is ever gonna
come out of her mouth.
Will Ferrell plays our Mattel CEO.
I mean, just so many
brilliant comedic actors,
brilliant actors, every day was hilarious.
Greta herself is a brilliantly
comedically gifted actor, so.
The lines she would give
you were always so funny.
I ruined most of Ryan's takes,
I would laugh like through half of them.
He would do something
different every time.
And I think he was just like,
his barometer was to try and
make me burst into laughter,
which he succeeded at almost
every day. [chuckling]
Yeah, this movie gets to some
pretty deep, profound places,
more so than you'd expect
a movie about dolls to be.
And since we were exploring things
about how any person might feel,
there were scenes where
like things felt pretty real
and raw.
Not just for me, like America
has this amazing speech
just about how contradictory
it is to be a woman,
and how we tie ourself in
knots just to be liked.
How it's just such an impossible task.
You can't be all those things. [chuckling]
And then in the end, it's just,
you fail anyway, you know.
So, that speech in particular
I think was very moving.
Because it's true,
everyone's like asking, Ken's
like, "What's my purpose?
What am I doing here?"
And Barbie's like, "What's my purpose?"
And you know, the Mattel CEO,
who's a character in the movie,
is kind of like,
"How do I be me in this world?"
You know.
So it's kind of, everyone has their chance
of having that moment,
having that journey,
and arriving at the kind
of acceptance place of,
you're good, you're good the way you are.
Thank you so much Teen Vogue
for watching how I became Barbie.
