Margot Robbie reveals the secret behind her arched foot in new Barbie film

Margot Robbie has revealed the secret behind her famous arched foot in the new Barbie film. 

In the trailer for the highly anticipated comedy fantasy, Margot is seen stepping out of her high heels to reveal Barbie’s feet remain arched, just like the toy.

On Thursday night’s episode of The Project, the Australian born actress revealed very little went into getting the shot right.

‘There’s no special effects, you’d be amazed how few [special effects] there are in this film actually,’ she said alongside director Greta Gerwig.

Margot explained it’s her own feet in the frame, and she achieved the shot by stepping out of her heels and simply ‘held on to a bar’ so she was ‘sturdy’.

‘We did put double-sided tape on the floor so that my shoes stayed still,’ she added, before revealing she also had a pedicure prior to filming the scene. 

Elsewhere in the episode, Margot suffered an epic Australian slang fail.

The Queensland-born actress, 32, was left speechless when co-host Sam Taunton turned his attention to director, Greta.

‘[Barbie] means so much to so many people. I’m not sure if Margot told you but the word barbie means something else in Australia,’ he asked Greta.

Margot appeared momentarily taken aback by the question.

‘What does it mean here?’ she asked the Melbourne comedian, perplexed. 

‘Like a barbecue,’ he responded, which lead to Margot and co-hosts Hamish Macdonald, Georgie Tunny and Liz Ellis bursting into fits of laughter. 

‘I’m so Barbie now I can’t even…’ said Margot. ‘A barbie, yeah, having a barbie.’ 

‘Don’t blame the blonde hair, blame the jet lag,’ she added, laughing it off. 

Australians often call having a summer party involving a number of friends and a barbecue, ‘having a barbie’. 

Margot is currently in Australia to promote Barbie, which will hit cinemas next month.
