Margot Robbie has acknowledged that the viral success of photos of her playing Barbie made her feel "humiliated."
The former Neighbours star and co-star Ryan Gosling were wearing neon yellow roller skates and brightly colored clothing when they were photographed while filming.
Greta Gerwig, the director of the highly anticipated movie Ladybird, casts Margot, 32, in the lead role.
The actress described what it was like to be seen in costume at Venice Beach in Los Angeles during a Jimmy Fallon interview.
She pointed to a photo of the two as their Barbie characters and said, "I can't tell you how embarrassed we were by the way.
We appear to be laughing and having a good time, but we're actually dying, she remarked.
The host told Margot she looked "cool," but later admitted it was "the most embarrassing moment of her life."
The Suicide Squad actress never anticipated how quickly and widely the images spread after going viral.
"I knew we needed to shoot some exteriors in LA, and I knew that once you start shooting exteriors, you're going to get papped.
There will probably be a small group of onlookers who will pay attention because of the fluoro, you know. We look a little odd in those clothes, she said to Jimmy.
Margot claimed that she had anticipated a small crowd and "a little attention," but instead encountered a'mad' crowd of hundreds of people.
The Australian star gave Jimmy a traditional Australian dish for his birthday earlier in the program—the modest fairy bread.
Before he blew out the candles, the entire crowd sang "Happy Birthday."
Fairy bread is white bread, butter, and toppings, with the cheaper the better, according to Margot.
After taking a bite, Jimmy exclaimed, "This is fantastic," and then he continued the interview.
