“[Mackey] plays one of the Barbies in the movie pretty much because Greta and I thought it would be funny. We were gonna do this whole joke about us looking similar, ” she said.

“Once we got all dressed up as our Barbies, we were kind of like, ‘We don’t actually look that similar, ’” the Australian actor recalled. “Like, when she’s got her brown hair and I've got my blonde hair, we don't look THAT similar, so we didn’t put that joke in the movie.”

“Hollywood churns out people who look the same and we love to put people in boxes, ” she added. “It’s just a thing that we do as a species, we categorise people, we always have.”
