Margot Robbie has noticed a significant difference in her fanbase since she played Barbie in the smash hit 2023 film.

During a recent appearance on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!', the Australian actress acknowledged that the fans who approach her now are very different to the ones who used to come up to her after her breakthrough in Martin Scorsese's 2013 crime comedy 'The Wolf of Wall Street'.

"It's been very sweet actually. My first American movie was 'The Wolf of Wall Street' so I would say the people that would come up to me after that were a different demographic," she explained.

You know, it was a lot of older dudes who came up, and now I have little kids coming up and saying, 'There's Barbie!' It's so sweet. I like this better.

However, Robbie noted that some of her friends' children are very confused seeing her on-screen as the famed Mattel doll.

The 'Suicide Squad' actress starred and produced Greta Gerwig's movie, which was the highest-grossing film of 2023. She received BAFTA, Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award nominations alongside her co-star Ryan Gosling, who played Ken.

Robbie is currently promoting the romance drama 'Wuthering Heights', Emerald Fennell's movie adaptation of Emily Brontë's 1847 novel. She plays Catherine Earnshaw alongside fellow Australian Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff.

She told Kimmel that the film will be a "fun night out" with a group of girlfriends, but could "start fights" between couples.

Wuthering Heights will be released on 13 February.
