Gal Gadot holds a profound admiration for Margot Robbie's sentiments concerning the casting of the iconic 'Barbie' role.

It was Margot Robbie who candidly disclosed that her initial preference for the role of 'Barbie' rested with Gal Gadot.

Margot Robbie's heartfelt words have deeply touched Gal Gadot, as she acknowledges being considered the foremost contender for the coveted 'Barbie' role.

In her capacity as the executive producer of the Barbie movie helmed by Greta Gerwig, Robbie breathes life into the titular character, an embodiment of Mattel's legacy. However, the 33-year-old actress, in an interview with Vogue back in May, revealed that her premier choice to portray Barbie was none other than the luminous Wonder Woman star herself, Gal Gadot.

While it strains the imagination to envision anyone else embodying Barbie's essence besides Robbie, Gal Gadot, aged 38, was indeed approached for the role. Unfortunately, scheduling conflicts cast a shadow over this promising collaboration, and it ultimately remained unrealized.

In a recent interaction with Flaunt Magazine, Gal Gadot offered her gracious response to the sentiments expressed by the star of Birds of Prey.

"I hold Margot in the highest esteem," she conveyed to the publication. "Margot is one of those individuals with whom one naturally aspires to forge a friendship. She exudes warmth, intelligence, humor, and an undeniable talent."

Continuing her praise, the actress renowned for her role in Heart of Stone articulated, "Margot's contributions are invaluable. The effusive nature of her comments touched my heart deeply. Her words resonated with me on a personal level. I am immensely thrilled for their project and share in the excitement for the journey of Barbie."

Although Gal Gadot's participation did not materialize in the movie, her influence has undeniably seeped into certain facets of the titular character's makeup.

Back when Robbie spoke to Vogue, she affectionately attributed "Barbie energy" to the actress renowned for her role in Red Notice.

"Gazing upon Gal Gadot's ethereal beauty, one is compelled to not resent her for her resplendence, owing to her genuine sincerity and infectiously benevolent nature. There exists an almost endearing nerdiness that radiates from her, akin to the moments just before embracing one's inner dorkiness," Robbie expressed during the interview.
