Margot Robbie has come under fire from some Americans on social media for using an Australian accent during a press tour for her new film Barbie.
Margot, 33, who hails from Dalby, Queensland, has been busy promoting Barbie around the world, which appeared in Down Under on Thursday.
The actress speaks with an American accent while portraying the iconic Barbie Land doll opposite Canadian star Ryan Gosling, who plays Ken.
However, it seems that Margot’s natural Aussie accent has oddly caught the ire of some snarky critics.
‘I don’t like that she’s using her Aussie accent on press tours to tell people she’s a good actress or something because her American English sounds better,’ one person wrote on social media.
