Barbie and Tom tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in Byron Bay, Australia in December 2016. They started as friends and collaborated on the production company LuckyChap Entertainment.

Margot starred in Barbie in 2023. The movie earned over $1 billion in the global box office.

In an interview with Deadline back in January, Margot shared that she wanted to bring back comedy to the big screen with Barbie which she was also producing under her production company LuckyChap Entertainment.

“I’d really been missing silly comedy. Silly, smart comedy. I always thought of the tone along the lines of Austin Powers, and when I read the script, that was the tone that rang out. A lot of physical comedy, a lot of silly but smart jokes, something very referential. That kind of comedy had all but disappeared from mainstream cinema for a number of years,” she recounted.

When asked if she was taking a break after Barbie, she quipped: “Everyone says that. Everyone’s like, ‘Are you having a break?’ And I’m like, ‘You do know I’m a producer, right? We don’t get a break.”

She went on: “The producing is 24/7, but on the acting side, this is the longest I haven’t acted on a set, because we finished Barbie in October of 2022.”

“I also think everyone’s probably sick of the sight of me for now. I should probably disappear from screens for a while. Honestly, if I did another movie too soon, people would say, ‘Her again? We just did a whole summer with her. We’re over it.’ I don’t know what I’ll do next, but I hope it’s a little while away,” the actress added.
