Saoirse Ronan and Timothée Chalamet had been going to have cameos in Barbie, and the main points make Us even sadder that it didn’t occur.
“I don’t know what [Timothée] was going to be, but I was definitely going to be a Weird Barbie,” Ronan, 29, informed Selection in a Saturday, January 20, interview at Sundance Movie Competition. “I don’t know how to take that. I mean, I would have been with Kate McKinnon, so that would have been nice. … I had a scene but didn’t ever get to do it, and it wasn’t in the movie.”
She persisted, “I can’t even remember now, but it was weird. I think I’d be the strange girl who talked to herself and always had her pet dog with her and always talked to the dog and wouldn’t look at anyone.”
Chalamet, 28, and Ronan each costarred in director Greta Gerwig‘s Oscar-nominated movies Girl Chook and Little Ladies. She was once hoping to reunite with the duo for the 3rd time.
“I tried to get them both in it. I really did and they both couldn’t do,” Gerwig, 40, informed Hollywood First Glance in July. “It was, like, a scheduling thing. She was actually producing, so that was great, good on her. But I tried to get them. It makes me it makes me feel like I’m without my — they feel like my children.”

Barbie casting director Allison Jones informed Self-importance Truthful remaining yr that Bowen Yang, Dan Levy and Ben Platt all needed to flip down roles as Kens because of logistics. “They were — I’m not kidding — really bummed they couldn’t do it,” Jones mentioned.
In the meantime, Allan was once nearly performed through Jonathan Groff fairly than Michael Cera. “Dear, dear Jonathan Groff was like, ‘I can’t believe I’m typing this, but I can’t do Allan,’” Jones added.
