This Barbie lends her support to the right causes. Actress Margot Robbie showed her support to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike as she was spotted at the picket line of a rally on Wednesday. Robbie recently starred and produced one of the biggest films of the year, Barbie. She played the iconic doll in the film which was directed by Greta Gerwig. 

Barbie also co-starred Ryan Gosling as Ken and the film collected a whopping $1 billion globally at the box office.

More about SAG-AFTRA strike

The strike began on July 14, just a week before Margot Robbie's Barbie saw its theatrical release on July 21. 

The rules of the striking union forbid actors to promote films, shoot or even attend film festivals and awards. The members of the Screen Actors Guild - American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) went on strike to provide its members with fair negotiations with studios and streaming services.

Earlier, while giving interviews during the London premiere of Barbie, Margot had been asked by Sky News if she would be supporting the strike. "Absolutely," said Robbie and added, “I very much am in support of all the unions and I’m a part of SAG, so I would absolutely stand by them.”
