Margot Robbie fans in hysterics as Brad Pitt brands star 'like a Barbie' - with actress hilariously shooting DOWN suggestion in resurfaced clip - 3 years BEFORE she played iconic doll
Brad Pitt told Margot Robbie 'you're like a Barbie' back in August 2019 during a resurfaced interview on the YouTube channel Jacksepticeye.
The duo co-starred in the 2019 Quentin Tarantino's film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and were doing press junkets together.
The 59-year-old actor turned to Margot, 33, and said to her 'You're like a Barbie' to which she said No, not Barbie,' as she nodded her head no as a joke.
The interview resurfaced just ahead of Greta Gerwig's Barbie the Movie arriving in theaters - with Margot playing the title character Barbie.
Barbie the Movie is set to be released on July 21, and critics have already been raving about the film, calling it 'dazzling' and 'one of the most entertaining movies of the year.'

In the August 2019 interview with Jacksepticeye, he asked Brad and Margot what they do after switching off from being in the spotlight.
Brad said he enjoyed spending time with friends and family and being low key after filming: ....'We get to do our work in a pretty contained environment and there's a lot of downtime and a lot of time with friends and family.... which you know I've always... or I've come to feel that life first and work will follow. And so it's not so crazy but it's really just barbecues like anyone else...'
He turned to look at Margot and said 'you like a Bar-bie you love one' he said in reference to a barbeque but appearing to make a pun out of her newly signed role as Barbie.
She quipped back: 'Not a Bar-bie. A shrimp on the Bar-bie.'
Brad smirked when he made the joke - in reference to her upcoming role of Barbie - which had just signed on seven months prior to the interview.
The clip of Brad saying 'you're like a Barbie' went viral on Instagram and TikTok, as Margot fans thought it was hilarious how Margot reacted to Brad's sly reference during Once Upon A Time in Hollywood's press tour.
Brad and Margot starred in three films together: Babylon (in 2022), The Big Short (n 2015) and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (in 2019).
Brad played Cliff Booth and Margot played Sharon Tate in Once Upon A Time in Hollywood; Leonardo DiCaprio played Rick Dalton.
Margot was in early talks to play Barbie as early as October 2018 and signed on to the project by early January 2019.
'Playing with Barbie promotes confidence, curiously and communication throughout a child's journey to self-discovery. Over the brand's almost 60 years, Barbie has empowered kids to imagine themselves in aspirational roles from a princess to president,' Margot said in a statement at the time of the announcement, via E! News.
Adding: 'I'm so honored to take on this role and produce a film that I believe will have a tremendously positive impact on children and audiences worldwide. I can't imagine better partners than Warner Bros. and Mattel to bring this film to the big screen.'
