In a recent interview, Margot Robbie, along with her co-stars Kate McKinnon, Issa Rae, and America Ferreira, discussed the making of a famous Barbie movie scene that caught the internet's attention. The scene showcased Margot Robbie's perfectly arched feet stepping out of pink pom pom heels. Margot revealed that it took about eight takes to film the scene, and those were indeed her feet. To ensure the shoes wouldn't come off, sticky bits and double-sided tape were used on the floor. Margot held onto a bar for support but wasn't harnessed during the shot.
She mentioned her love for stunt work and always tries to do her own inserts in movies. The plot of the Barbie movie is still unknown, but the trailer suggests that Barbie loses her arch, which sets off an adventure in the real world. Issa Rae expressed her enthusiasm for the movie and praised the experience of working with director Greta and Margot. The film is set to release on July 21st.
