Margot Robbie will take centre stage as Barbie in the new film, with Ryan Gosling as her Ken, and apparently Margs has been putting in the werkkk.
The new teaser trailer shows her rocking a retro striped strapless swimsuit, and her long legs and waist look so sculpted and strong. (ICYMI, Margot was also previously spotted in a white high-cut swimsuit in Cannes, and we’re still not over how strong she looks in the pics…)
TBH, there was never any doubt in our minds that Margot would make the perfect Barbie, and this clip just proves it.
Fans were quick to comment, too. One wrote, ‘I don’t want to exaggerate, but I think the entire history of cinema has been building up to this movie,’ while another added, ‘From Harley Quinn to Barbie. Margot Robbie’s journey is literally graceful,’ and a third said, ‘Margot Robbie as Barbie is the best casting decision ever made, especially with that vintage look of the original Barbie doll.’
We are buzzing for the release of the film (July 21st in the UK, FYI), but we’re almost just as excited to find out how Margot has been training for the role.
As it stands, we know that she has been working with PT and Pilates teacher David Higgins, and Margot has previously opened up about her favourite types of exercise.
Speaking to The Telegraph, per Harper’s Bazaar, she shared that she liked to make exercise a part of her lifestyle. ‘I like to play tennis, run around the park or do a dance class with girlfriends,’ she said.
That being said, Margot shared that Pilates is usually her go-to workout for a quick sweat sesh. ‘If I’m making a conscious effort to exercise, I work with a Pilates trainer on a reformer machine, and that suits me and my body best,’ she added.
She’s also big on balance. ‘[I am] walking the line between having as much fun as possible and continuing to take care of myself,’ she told The Telegraph, per Harper’s Bazaar. ‘Eating well and exercise need to be prevalent in my life so that I can feel my best, but I don’t want to dwell on it too much.’ Amen, Margs.
