Speaking to Variety, the Dubliner said: “I was definitely going to be a ‘Weird Barbie’.
“I don’t know how to take it, you know? I mean, I would have been with Kate McKinnon, it would have been cool.
“But yes, I worked with the costume designer Jacqueline Durran. After she made (the costumes), I was wondering who will I end up being?
“Because I had a scene, but never got to do it and I wasn’t in the movie… and she said, ‘Oh, obviously you’re going to be a very strange Barbie, Saoirse.’
Speaking about what her Barbie would have been like, Ronan said: “I think I would have been a very strange girl who talked to herself and always had her pet dog with her and she would just talk to the dog and No. Look at anyone.”
