Barbie had to do without a cameo Saoirse Ronan and Timothée Chalamet
Greta Gerwig confirmed what Saoirse Ronan was already expecting in front of the microphones last September People. He tried to insert himself into Barbie with a cameo, but was unsuccessful. The same goes for Timothée Chalamet. To the microphones diversitythe director explained the reason why she refused both:
Well, it had to be a small thing, because at the time she was producing, which I’m very proud of her. And, of course, it’s great. But that would be a special cameo. He was supposed to make a special cameo with Timmy as well, but they both couldn’t make it and I was so annoyed. But I love them so. I felt like I was doing something without my children. I mean, I’m not their mom, but I feel like one.
Greta Gerwig addresses Overtaking, a film that Ronan was directing and producing at the time, when Barbie came to life on set. Due to conflicting schedules, they had to drop the cameo in question. TO PeopleSome time ago, the actress already admitted to what had happened:
I had a cameo because I live in London and they filmed there. There was one character I could play: another Barbie. And I was so sorry that I couldn’t do it.
So, Saoirse Ronan will play another doll living in Barbie Country, joining other actresses such as Issa Rae, Dua Lipa, Alexandra Shipp, Kate McKinnon, Hari Nef, Emma Mackie and more. Who would play Timothée Chalamet instead? Maybe one day we’ll find out, but through trial and error, could it be another Ken?
