According to Cosmopolitan, fans have noticed a resemblance between Emma Mackey and Australian actor Margot Robbie for years. Even @morphy_me, an Instagram account dedicated to morphing and comparing celebrities’ facial features, posted a photo about it (3rd slide). But Mackey isn’t too fond of the comparisons.
“I genuinely just don’t see it at all,” Mackey told Independent in 2020. “But it’s fine. I wish people would stop comparing. 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. 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 categorise people, we always have.”
The internet went berserk when it was announced that the two actors would be in the new live-action Barbie movie together, per The Hollywood Reporter. Although it could have been just a coincidence, this casting choice could also be hinting at something about the plot of the Barbie movie.
