Helen Mirren on her cut Barbie scene with Olivia Colman: “It was very funny”
Helen Mirren has opened up about Olivia Colman’s hilarious Barbie cameo that ended up on the cutting room floor. Back in July 2023, movie enthusiasts were finally treated to the highly anticipated fantasy comedy.
Directed by Greta Gerwig, the film follows a “stereotypical” Barbie (Margot Robbie) who resides in Barbie Land, a matriarchal society where women are self-sufficient and occupy all positions of power.
After Barbie begins to worry about her mortality, she embarks on a journey of self-discovery into the real world – assisted by her “stereotypical” himbo boyfriend Ken (Ryan Gosling).
Following its release, Barbie received universal acclaim from viewers and critics for its clever script, empowering feminist message and Robbie’s performance as the titular character.
