Margot Robbie has said one of the “biggest fights” when creating the Barbie movie was convincing everyone that it would also appeal to a male audience.

The Australian actress starred as the world-famous doll and co-produced Greta Gerwig’s blockbuster, which stormed the box office and became part of the zeitgeist last year.
