Margot Robbie Insisted Not Using CGI For Her Iconic Feet Scene in Barbie
Margot Robbie is a stunning actress who never shies away from taking challenging roles or doing insane physical transformations for her parts, for she is supremely talented. Her latest movie Barbie has already crossed the $1 billion mark at the box office. She is portraying the titular character in the film and has depicted her part flawlessly, for which she has earned critical acclaim.
In a candid interview, the actress and the film director Great Gerwig shared that since Barbie is known for her arched heels, the scene they shot in the movie showcasing her feet was authentic, and they didn’t use any CGI or special effects. Gerwig shared:
“There was a big discussion in the beginning. Everyone said, ‘Are you going to CGI all the feet?’ And I thought, ‘Oh god, no! That’s terrifying! That’s a nightmare.’ Also, Margot has the nicest feet. She has these beautiful dancer feet. She should just hang on to that bar and do it just like this.”
Robbie opened up about her experience filming that scene and admitted that she performed the sequence herself, and those were her feet, saying,
“There’s no special effects, you’d be amazed how few [special effects] there are in this film actually. We just put double-sided tape on the floor so that my shoes would stay still.”
Margot Robbie and all the actors who were part of the film gave their best in this movie, which is why everyone in the world is obsessing over this magnum opus project of Greta Gerwig.
Margot Robbie Shares How She Shot Her Viral Scene
Margot Robbie’s viral feet scene from her latest project Barbie has set the silver screen and internet on fire, with fans recreating the sequence as the shot continued to trend on social media. Robbie nailed the part like a pro and previously shared that her feet were not CGI. The actress recently shut down rumors, saying,
“I always try and do my own inserts. I don’t like when I watch a movie, and I know it’s not my hands. I hate that so much. I always say to the director, ‘Please let me do all my own things. I don’t like knowing that I didn’t do it.’”
The actress further shared that they take multiple takes before they got the final perfect shot,
“It was probably about eight takes. I walked up, we had little sticky bits on the floor, double-sided tape for the shoes, so they wouldn’t come off, so I could get my feet out of them. And I was holding on to, like, a bar. But that’s it. I wasn’t in a harness or anything like that. I just walked up, kind of held on to the bar above [the] camera.”
Robbie stars opposite actor Ryan Gosling who plays Ken in the Greta Gerwig-directed Barbie. The star-studded cast also features talented stars, including America Ferrera, Kate McKinnon, Helen Mirren, Issa Rae, Simu Liu, Michael Cera, Rhea Perlman, and Will Ferrell.
