Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling are not present at the Berlin premiere of “Barbie”. The reason is the strike of Hollywood actors.
Now the big Hollywood strike has finally arrived in Germany. The two “Barbie” stars Margot Robbie (33) and Ryan Gosling (42) will not be at the premiere of the film in Berlin tomorrow, Saturday, July 15. This was confirmed by a Warner spokeswoman for the news agency spot on news. However, the event will not be canceled in its entirety. The premiere will continue to take place in the Theater am Potsdamer Platz – even without the main actors and actual protagonists.
On Wednesday evening, Robbie and Gosling celebrated the premiere of their new and much-anticipated film in London. Then their journey together from Great Britain should actually continue to the German capital. A first press conference was planned for Saturday morning. The reason for the cancellation is obvious: the so-called actors’ strike, which has been called out in Hollywood and is widespread.
The “Oppenheimer” premiere in London was also affected
After failed negotiations between the actors’ union and the association of TV and film production companies, Hollywood is currently at a standstill. Actors have joined the scriptwriters who were already on strike and have stepped down from their jobs. The actors ceased all work covered by their contract with the Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA), the union.
This includes all activities away from any camera, among other things, this also applies to all promotional appearances, interviews or premiere parties like the one in Berlin. The cast of the film “Oppenheimer” complied with this request on Thursday, July 13, at the premiere in London. If stars like Cillian Murphy (47), Emily Blunt (40), Matt Damon (52), Robert Downey Jr. (58) and Florence Pugh (27) appeared together on the red carpet, they left the event before the film screening began , as reported, among other things, by the industry portal “Deadline”..
