DailyMail.com has learned the truth about rumors that have lately been swirling suggesting Margot Robbie is set to star in another biopic as a larger-than-life figure.

The 34-year-old Barbie star — who welcomed her first child in October 2024 — is said to have been ‘lined up’ to star as the late Anna Nicole Smith in a proposed film about her tumultuous life dreamed up by two of her close friends.

The Sun reported Tuesday that Smith’s former friends, the fashion designer Pol’ Atteu and the television producer Patrik Simpson are considering Robbie — and only her — to lead the film.

‘We are eyeing Margot and I think she is our Anna Nicole,’ said Simpson. ‘After we saw the Barbie movie, Margot was at the screening and I said, “That’s our Anna.”

According to Simpson, it was her performance and ‘the way she embodied Barbie’ in the blockbuster comedy that sealed the deal. 

‘Pol’ used to always tease that Anna was the living Barbie. So who better to play her than Margot?’ he continued.
