Did Margot Robbie Gaslight Mattel About Ken’s ‘Beach Off’ Joke in ‘Barbie’?
‘Barbie’ producer Margot Robbie explained how she convinced Mattel that there was no innuendo behind a scene where the Kens demand they have a ‘beach off’
According to Robbie, 33, Mattel and Warner Bros. took issue with several pieces of director Greta Gerwig ’s script (co-written by Noah Baumbach), including the scene where the Kens have a “beach off.” While the studio was concerned about the sexual connotations surrounding the phrase “beach off,” Robbie insisted that the Kens were not “beating off,” as it might sound. From flowing gowns and silver tones to structured silhouettes and pops of color, the award-winning actress is a force to be reckoned with on the red carpet. “There’s no way to feel sad when you know you’re this blessed,” Robbie said during a January 30 SAG-AFTRA screening of Barbie after the Oscar nominations were announced.
