Ouch!: Simu Liu waxed his entire body for Margot Robbie’s ‘Barbie’

Los Angeles, June 1 : Hollywood star Simu Liu waxed his body completely for the upcoming film Barbie starring Margot Robbie.

Rumours have circulated the Shang-Chi star is playing one of several Ken dolls in the film (along with headliner Ryan Gosling), and waxing his body would certainly be one practical way for Liu to get a plastic-like sheen, reports Variety.

"Waxing has been an education to say the least," Liu told The Independent."It was one of the most painful experiences of my life.

I have such a newfound admiration for the incredibly brave women who go through this on a monthly basis."While Liu could not confirm any rumours about Barbie, he did say "the discourse online is giving me life," adding, "With every casting announcement or bit of news, theyre like: ‘What is this? And thats perfect — the less you know about it the better."Liu recently told GQ UK that he knew almost nothing about the Barbie movie when he agreed to audition for a role.

The actor decided to throw his name in the ring for a role after a junior agent at his agency told him Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbachs script for the film was one of the best hed ever read."He literally said this verbatim," Liu said.

"He was like, ‘If I could stake my career on any one script, its the ‘Barbie script.I really think you should do it."Liu described Barbie as "wild" and "incredibly unique," adding: "I wish I could just show you what we do day-to-day because its crazy." The film is not a musical, but Liu said hes been in dance rehearsals aplenty for the movie.

Barbie will open in theatres July 21, 2023, from Warner Bros.dc/ #Ouch #Simu #waxed #Margot #Barbie #Los Angeles #Hollywood.
