Margot Robbie Admits Those Viral 'Barbie' Photos Were 'The Most Humiliating Moment Of My Life'

Over the summer, photos and videos surfaced of Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling filming for their upcoming movie Barbie, which is set to hit theaters July 21, 2023.

To say the images went viral is an understatement.

On Monday, Robbie addressed the rampant spread of the photos on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

Although the internet seemed to be absolutely delighted, Robbie shared with host Jimmy Fallon she actually had the opposite reaction.

She said:

"I can't tell you how mortified we were. We look like we're laughing and having fun, but we're dying on the inside."

"I was like, 'This is the most humiliating moment of my life.'"

Robbie did claim she knew some photos would get out, but she did not expect the madness that ensued:

"I knew that we had some exteriors to shoot in LA. I knew once you're doing exteriors, you're gonna get papped."

"There's probably going to be a little crowd of people who are going to take notice because, you know, we stand out a little in those outfits."

"I knew there would be a little bit of attention, and probably some photos would get out there, but not like it did. It was mad!"

Though the attention from the photos—and from the glorious outfits—was embarrassing for Robbie and Gosling, it's clear her fans can't wait to see her as their favorite Mattel doll.
