‘Barbie' Stars Margot Robbie & Kate McKinnon Describe BIG KEN ENERGY ｜ Ask Me Anything ｜ ELLE

Hi, I'm Margot Robbie. I'm Kate McKinnon. And today, we're going to let Ellen ask us anything. Where else are the twins from The Shining? Would you like to go first? No. I had a Barbie fold-out house. I got it for Christmas, I think when I was around five years old, and I loved it. And the weird thing about this gift is, I don't think I had a Barbie. No, I had the house and then Barbies. Do you remember what you put in it? Nope. Interesting. A student of architecture. I had, like, hamster houses, and the hamsters that went in them, and then the dirt died in them. Did Mattel make the hamsters? No, it wasn't like that. They were more modest. They were ranches. The rustic, chic version of the dream house? Yes. The weirdest fan theory I've heard about Nudie so far is that it's actually a horror film. And that's what's going to take everyone by surprise. Like, oh, you thought you were in a Barbie movie? Psyche, it's scary and gory. And I was like, someone said that to me, and I was like, it's not. Please don't spread that rumor. I don't want horror fans to be disappointed. Oh my gosh, wow. I'm going to say smart, fun, meaningful. Good. I'm going to say, if we get six words between us, I suppose, exuberant, hilarious, unexpected, but not a horror film. Just to be quick. The very best part of working with Greta? Because my list of things I love about Greta is so long, no one has time to listen to it. But the very best thing? Pick one. I can't. I love her so much. She's one of the smartest people you could ever meet in the universe. And also is very, literally, sweet. The enthusiasm. I was like, how is she managing to muster this much genuine passion for every single millimeter of everything that's going on, and be so on top of it in such a giving and tender way? She's also so smart that never makes you feel dumb. Her knowledge of films is incredible. But some people who know a lot of films do it in a way where they're like, oh, you haven't seen? No, no, no. Well, let me tell you. But whereas Greta brings you in, she invites you in to experience it. And she does that with this movie, where it's like, everyone's invited. Come. Come and enjoy this with us. Because it's so enjoyable. And there's just so much ahead of you. It's my favorite movie, by the way. I love that one. You should see it. I watch it all the time. BKE. BKE Energy is hard to describe. It's kind of like, for me, it's like Wi-Fi. You know, it's all around. And I know we all need it. Could I tell you how it works? Not really. I mean, I know it's got something to do with fiber optic cables going under the ocean. I can't really explain it. Do I have it? Yeah. Oh, good. Yeah. You do? You got both. You got that BBE and that Kenji. Oh, nice. And you just know it when you feel it. That's important. That's the most defining feature. You know when it's there, and you feel an absence of it when it's not. As a person who lives in my life, clothing and spaces, in blacks, whites, woods, and creams, I have no color. I walked on and I was like, I think I might get color. Just a little bit. It's so lush. It's such beautiful art. I think I might understand why people would choose to incorporate color into their spheres. Like that scene in Pleasantville. Suddenly everyone's like, I don't want it to stop. Or The Wizard of Oz. Yeah. This was like that moment for Dorothy and Toto. Yes. I keep saying, and I believe this, and maybe you can pitch this to someone, but there needs to be a museum of all of the sets. Yeah. Because people should have the privilege of being able to walk through this. What amounts to a sculpture garden? I was very jealous of the Ken's costumes when they have their battle. It was very like 80s gym inspired. And I honestly was like, where can I get that tank top that Simi was wearing? And they're like, it's like a vintage thing. Damn it. I liked Ryan's pink fur coat. The mink? Oh, it's a mink? It's a fake mink. He calls it a mink. It's not actually mink. I used to feel judged by the color pink. And now I'm sort of like, wait, pink is where it looks like when things are going well in nature. Like when there's enough sun or like when a flamingo has enough shrimp to eat. Like that's what pink is. And like, that's great. So pink is just, pink is life. Pink is, pink is a celebration. Pink is a party. And I think I may start incorporating. I also, I was judging pink, I think, before. You know, as they say to little girls, like, and what do you, like, what do you want to do? Like, what's your favorite color pink? So I made a real point of being like, I hate pink. Actually, I didn't hate pink. I was just trying to be defiant. My workaround was to say that I like the color magenta. You didn't walk far enough. You should have said crimson. Crimson. The color of blood. I was not challenging, but. Please go see the Barbie movie in theaters July 21st.
