Emma Mackey of “Sex Education” has stated that she wishes to “move past” comparisons to her “Barbie” co-star Margot Robbie.
Mackey told Total Film that she doesn’t mind being compared to Robbie because she looks up to the star.
“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.
Robbie has also admitted in an interview 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.
“Someone came up to me, I was eating a burger,” the Harley Quinn actress said. “And they were like ‘I loved you in “Sex Education,” that show is so cool, we just started watching it.’ And I was like ‘I’m so sorry, it’s not me.'”
