Love Island star Chris Taylor recently revealed the embarrassing reason why he will not be appearing in a potential Barbie sequel. He made a cameo appearance in the box-office hit movie as one of the many Kens, delivering a short line on stage. However, during filming, he struggled to get the line right, taking hours to film and numerous takes to get it perfect. Despite the efforts to make it work, he expressed uncertainty about reprising the role in a potential sequel.
During an interview on fellow Islander Toby Aromolaran’s YouTube podcast, Chris shared his experience on set, explaining the challenges he faced while filming his brief appearance in the movie. He described the sensory overload of being on a big Hollywood set, surrounded by top celebrities like Ryan Gosling and Margot Robbie. Despite the excitement of being part of such a major production, he admitted that none of the various takes he did felt quite right to him, making the experience somewhat overwhelming.
Chris had kept his role in the movie a secret for two years before finally revealing it at the premiere in London. He shared that Margot Robbie, who is a fan of Love Island, offered him the role after meeting him and his friends at a premiere. Referring to the lighthearted nature of the dating show, Margot had expressed her love for watching it with her girlfriends. The actress also comforted Chris at the film’s premiere, telling him that many people in attendance had been cut from the movie, but he was still included in the final version.
The reality star also shared an embarrassing moment he experienced while in the middle of filming the movie. He mistakenly identified a man on set as Chris Evans’s brother, due to his Avengers sleeve tattoo featuring the actor. The awkward interaction took place in front of Ryan Gosling and other actors, resulting in an uncomfortable situation for Chris. Despite the embarrassing incident, he appeared to take it in stride and continue with his work on the film.
Chris expressed gratitude for the opportunity to be part of the Barbie movie, even though it was a brief appearance with a single line. He discussed how Margot Robbie’s husband, Tom, had shown him support and reassurance during filming, encouraging him while navigating the challenges of the production. Despite not being involved in a sequel to the movie, Chris’s experience filming alongside A-list actors and working on a major Hollywood project was a memorable and rewarding experience for him.
Overall, Chris Taylor’s experience with the Barbie movie showcased the ups and downs of working on a high-profile film set. From struggling with lines and filming challenges to experiencing embarrassing moments in front of famous actors, he navigated the complexities of the production with humor and humility. Despite not being involved in a potential sequel, his time on set and interactions with top celebrities like Margot Robbie provided him with lasting memories of his foray into Hollywood.
