Fans have pointed to a similar likeness between the two stars since Mackey's breakthrough role in Netflix's Sex Education. The comparisons were further fuelled when the pair were cast in Greta Gerwig's upcoming Barbie movie and reports suggested that they will both be playing different versions of the famous doll.

In a new interview with Total Film, Mackey said that she doesn't mind the comparison to Robbie because she looks up to the star.

Margot Robbie Or Emma Mackey? We Bet You To Spot The Difference

It's just funny, Mackey told the publication. And I think Margot has had the grace and humor to be able to play on that, and allow me to be in the same film as her – bless her. It's just a joke in real life. I'm like, 'We don't look anything like each other.'

She continued: I don't mind it. It's Margot Robbie. Are you kidding me? She's the best. I look up to her so much. I don't mind the comparisons. But it would be nice to move past that.

This is not the first time that Mackey has addressed the lookalike comments. In 2020, she told the Independent that she wished people would stop comparing her to Robbie.

Sex Education's Emma Mackey Talks Margot Robbie Comparisons And Barbie's

I genuinely just don't see it at all, she said. Like, it's lovely to be compared to Margot Robbie, but mostly I'd rather people focus on the jobs that we're both doing rather than what we look like.

Mackey added: Hollywood churns out people who look the same and we love to put people in boxes. It's just a thing that we do as a species, we categorize people, we always have.

Robbie has also admitted in aninterview with BBC Radio 1's Ali Plumb that she has been mistaken for the Sex Education star at The Apple Pan diner in Los Angeles.
