In a recent interview, the ‘Heart of Stone’ star expressed her admiration for her fellow actress, describing Robbie as “funny,” “warm,” and someone who is easy to “adore.”
Gadot spoke warmly about Robbie, saying, “I adore Margot. Margot is one of those women who you just want to be friends with. She is so funny, warm, fun, and smart, and obviously so talented. She brings so much to the table.”
Upon being informed of Robbie’s endorsement, Gadot expressed her appreciation for the kind words, stating, “I would love to do anything with Margot and was very touched [by her comments]. She warmed my heart with everything that she said about me. I’m super excited for them, and I’m so excited for ‘Barbie.'”
Gal Gadot’s Suitability for ‘Barbie’ Role
Notably, the collaboration between Margot Robbie and ‘Barbie’ producers sought an actress who could embody the stunning allure associated with Gal Gadot’s appearance.
In a prior interview, Margot Robbie herself noted Gadot’s suitability for the ‘Barbie’ role, emphasizing her “impossibly beautiful” aesthetics and her genuine sincerity that resonates with audiences.
Margot Robbie remarked, “Gal Gadot is Barbie energy. Because Gal Gadot is so impossibly beautiful, but you don’t hate her for being that beautiful because she’s so genuinely sincere, and she’s so enthusiastically kind, that it’s almost dorky. It’s like right before being a dork.”
Currently, Gal Gadot can be seen in the movie ‘Heart of Stone,’ which is available for streaming on Netflix.
