Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling went viral earlier this summer when paparazzi photos of them filming their new movie ‘Barbie’ started circulating online.

During a recent appearance on ‘The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon’, Robbie admitted that she and Gosling weren’t exactly thrilled when hundreds of fans started showing up to watch them film as they filmed on place in Los Angeles.

Photos of the two on set were everywhere over the summer and really increased the hype surrounding the film, but Robbie called the experience going viral one of the most embarrassing things to happen to him. When Fallon showed the viral footage, Robbie explained how embarrassed they were.

“I can’t tell you how mortified we were, by the way,” she told Fallon. “We look like we’re laughing and having fun, but we’re dying inside. Dying. I was like, ‘This is the most humbling moment of my life.’ “

Robbie said she knew some fans would want to come see the film set and catch a glimpse of her and Gosling, but she didn’t expect so many people to show up, noting that there were “hundreds of people watching all the time”. “

“I mean, I knew we had exteriors to shoot in LA. I knew once you do exteriors, you’re going to be daddy,” she explained. “There’s probably going to be a small crowd of people who are going to notice because, you know, we kinda stand out in these outfits. So, I knew there would be a bit of attention and probably some pictures would come out there, but not like he did. It was like crazy.

In the photos, Gosling and Robbie are on rollerblades wearing hot pink outfits and fluorescent elbow and knee pads. Robbie stars in the film as Barbie, the popular Mattel doll, and Gosling stars as the doll’s boyfriend, Ken.

Robbie didn't expect the footage to go viral the way it did, saying she knew there would be fans on set but not as many as there were.
