Jennifer Lopez opens up about personal struggles in ‘Unstoppable’

Robbie’s portrayal of the real-life Barbie earned her praise from both critics and audiences alike. Notably, Robbie also served as a producer on the film, showcasing her multifaceted talents.
Margot Robbie, the talented actress behind the iconic role of Barbie in Greta Gerwig’s 2023 blockbuster, recently opened up about the pre-filming jitters she faced. Despite her tremendous success, Robbie confessed to experiencing a “crisis” before every single movie she’s undertaken.
In a candid interview, Robbie shared her inner turmoil, revealing, “I went to Greta’s house and had that crisis. I’d spent years trying to get this movie going. And suddenly we’re going to shoot the thing. I was like, ‘Oh my God, I dunno how to do this.’ It happens before every single movie I’ve ever done. A few weeks out, I have this meltdown where I’m like, ‘What am I doing? I don’t know how to act. Everyone’s going to suddenly realize that I can’t do any of this, and it’s going to be terrible.’ And then it is just sheer panic.”
Her co-collaborator, Greta Gerwig, empathized with Robbie’s apprehensions, recalling a similar moment before filming began. “I have a distinct memory of Margot coming over to my house before we started shooting and having a bit of an actor crisis: ‘How am I doing this?’ It’s the actor equivalent of facing a blank page,” Gerwig shared.
