Imagine a different universe where Gal Gadot had the opportunity to portray Barbie in the popular film.
Margot Robbie had shared with Vogue in May, before the release of the movie in July, that she and director Greta Gerwig had recognized Gal as someone who exudes “Barbie energy” during the initial stage of the film’s development.
According to Robbie, Gal Gadot has the same energy as Barbie. This is because despite her stunning beauty, she remains likable due to her genuine sincerity and enthusiastic kindness. Robbie even thinks that Gadot’s qualities are almost dorky in the best way possible.
As per a report by Vogue, it was eventually revealed that Gal Gadot was unable to feature in the movie. However, she did grace the occasion of the film’s premiere in Los Angeles with her presence.
Gal Gadot has opened up about her reaction to Margot Robbie’s praise. During an interview with Flaunt to promote her latest movie on Netflix, Heart of Stone, Gal expressed how touched she was by Margot’s kind words, saying they “warmed her heart.”
According to Flaunt, they had a chat with Gal before the SAG-AFTRA strike. Gal expressed her admiration for Margot, describing her as an amiable person whom you would love to hang out with. Gal also complimented Margot’s sense of humor, intelligence, talent, and warmth. She said that she would be thrilled to collaborate with Margot in any project and was touched by her words of praise.
Stephane Cardinale’s words about me really touched my heart. I am extremely happy for both of them and thrilled for Barbie too.
It would be great if there would be a follow-up movie where Gal will have the opportunity to portray Barbie. Let’s keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best!
