Margot Robbie Lookalike Is Racking Up Views With This Impersonation Video
A TikTok creator performed an imitation of Margot Robbie in The Wolf of Wall Street that is going viral.
University of Tennessee student Lexi Ashton is racking up views on social media for her Margot Robbie impersonation. In a seven-second TikTok video, the influencer delivers the actress’ iconic line from The Wolf of Wall Street. “No, Daddy doesn’t even get to touch Mommy for a very, very, very long time.” Although she just mouths the words, the clip is more about her resemblance to the Australian native.
Ashton is dressed in a baby blue dress, reminiscent of the one worn by Margot Robbie’s character in the 2013 film. Folks quickly pointed out the similarities between the influencer and the Barbie actress. “Incredible,” wrote one person, while others responded with heart and fire emojis. However, some people were unimpressed, calling the student a “budget” version of the Hollywood star.
Lexi Ashton isn’t the first social media personality to gain traction due to her Margot Robbie resemblance. In 2022, Russian influencer Anastasyia Prichinina also garnered attention for her similarities to the Suicide Squad star. An 11-second video of her dressed as Harley Quinn earned millions of views on TikTok.
Meanwhile, Margot Robbie has been spotted in Los Angeles doing reshoots for her upcoming Barbie movie. The 32-year-old was seen enjoying her lunch break in a long blonde wig. Her complete outfit was a testament to the iconic doll, consisting of a fitted pink top, pink bell-bottom pants embellished with silver stars, along with a matching ascot.
Directed by Greta Gerwig from a script she co-wrote with Noah Baumbach, Barbie is based on the fashion dolls by Mattel. The film is the first live-action outing for the doll after several made-for-television computer-animated and streaming movies. Starring alongside Margot Robbie as the titular character is Ryan Gosling as Ken.
The story follows a doll who is exiled from Barbieland for being imperfect-looking. Taking the rejection in her stride, Barbie (Margot Robbie) sets off to find happiness in the human world. The movie features several versions of the titular doll, including Kate McKinnon as Weird Barbie, Issa Rae as President Barbie, Hari Nef as Doctor Barbie, and Alexandra Shipp as Writer Barbie.
But that’s not all! Emma Mackey portrays Physicist Barbie along with Sharon Rooney as Lawyer Barbie, Dua Lipa as Mermaid Barbie, Nicola Coughlan as Diplomat Barbie, Ana Cruz Kayne as Judge Barbie, and Ritu Arya as Journalist Barbie. Different variations of Ken are played by Kingsley Ben-Adir, Simu Liu, Scott Evans, and Ncuti Gatwa.
Barbie is narrated by Helen Mirren, with Will Ferrell portraying the CEO of a major toy company. The cast also includes Connor Swindells, Michael Cera, Jamie Demetriou, Emerald Fennell, America Ferrera, Rhea Perlman, John Cena, Ariana Greenblatt, and Marisa Abela. The Margot Robbie movie will hit theaters worldwide on July 21.
Margot Robbie is also set to appear in Asteroid City. Billed as a romantic sci-fi comedy-drama, the movie is directed by Wes Anderson from a screenplay he co-wrote with Roman Coppola. Set in 1955, the story begins when students and parents from across the country gather at a Junior Stargazer convention. The movie is set for release on June 23.
