Greta Gerwig is directing from a screenplay she wrote with Noah Baumbach. I loved every single day on that set.”īefore wrapping up the session, Robbie was asked about the much-talked-about Barbie film she is producing and starring in alongside Ryan Gosling. For someone as young as him to have the breadth of knowledge he has and to be such an insanely good director is just really exciting.
