In the upcoming movie, the actress will be using an American accent. However, some people have genuinely forgotten that she is originally from Australia, while others feel that the accent is out of character for her.
During the film’s global promotion, an anonymous person raised a peculiar question about why she chose not to stick to the accent used in the movie. They questioned whether she was on a working visa and suggested that she drop the accent since she lives and works in Hollywood, where she earns a substantial income.
However, many quickly responded to the question, considering it to be ludicrous. Netizens provided various explanations and responses.
One person pointed out that she did drop the accent and returned to her default Australian accent. Another highlighted the mental exhaustion that comes with putting on an accent that is not one’s native tongue.
Some individuals questioned why the actress was being singled out for using her accent when other actors, such as the Hemsworths and Bale, have been using their native accents during press tours for years.
One netizen admitted to occasionally forgetting that Margot Robbie is Australian because her American accent is so flawless, causing them to be surprised when she speaks with her native accent.
“Barbie” is scheduled for a worldwide release on July 21, 2023.
