Video Of Margot Robbie Using Sign Language With Deaf Fan Goes Viral
Margot Robbie has been catching the world’s attention for her role as Barbie in Barbie, but now she’s capturing even more praise.
A video of Robbie at the Amsterdam premiere last fall, interacting with a deaf fan through sign language, has won the hearts of many as it proves her casting as Barbie couldn’t be more perfect. The short encounter with the fan, Thomas Perry, shows Robbie putting away the paper and marker she was holding to free her hands in order to communicate with Perry.
Before using sign language, Robbie says, “I know it!” and proceeds to sign phrases like, “Nice to meet you.”
Perry didn’t think he would have the chance to have a close encounter with Robbie but revealed that they had spoken for around three minutes.
“I thought wow, she has no time to chat to many people, but we chatted for like three minutes,” Perry told Daily Mail. “She is really down to Earth.”

As sign language differs throughout the world, Robbie was using Auslan, or Australian sign language, to communicate with Perry. After their small chat, the two then took a picture together.
Barbie, directed by Greta Gerwig, premiered on July 21 and raked in $337 million worldwide on its opening weekend, making history as the biggest box office debut for a film directed by a woman.
