During a recent interview with Australia’s Channel 10 talk show The Project, Australia-born Margot Robbie had a brief home-country memory slip while promoting Warner Bros’ upcoming Barbie in which …
co-host Sam Taunton mentioned that the word “barbie” doesn’t always refer to the iconic doll in Oz, Robbie asked, “What does it mean here?” Shocked, others in the studio exclaimed, “A barbecue!”
Robbie blurted out “Oh!,” as she covered her face amid lots of good-natured laughter. Robbie explained her momentary lapse saying, “I’m so Barbie now, I can’t even… You’re right, a barbie, having a barbie.” She added, “I’m blaming the jet lag, by the way. Don’t blame the blonde hair, blame the jet lag.
The term “barbie” was popularized outside Australia in a series of 1980s TV ads by the Australian Tourism Commission which were presented by Crocodile Dundee himself, Paul Hogan, who spoke of slipping “an extra shrimp on the barbie for you.”and a “barbie” during the film’s tour in Australia, to which Robbie said, “I’m deeply regretting that there’s not, now that you mention it. What a wasted opportunity… Grrr, I’m really annoyed we didn’t do something like this.
