 Rob Brydon has revealed that Margot Robbie's personal love for Gavin & Stacey might have resulted in him getting a role in Barbie. The Welsh actor and comedian, 58, starred as Bryn West in the BBC comedy, which was created by Ruth Jones and James Corden in 2007. Gavin & Stacey eventually ran for three seasons and produced two Christmas specials – the latter of which ended on a proposal cliffhanger. And it turns out that the trials and tribulations of the beloved characters from Barry made quite an impression on Barbie's leading star Margot Robbie. According to Rob, the Australian actress and producer, 33, was a 'huge fan of Uncle Bryn' when she sat down to watch the sitcom. Speaking to Virgin Radio, he said: 'I had a message a few years ago that Margot Robbie was a big Uncle Bryn fan and would I record a message for her birthday.' Bryn was hugely popular with viewers and, it turns out, Margot Robbie as well (Picture: BBC) He continued on to say he recorded the birthday video for her, and implied that the time he took to record it might have landed him his Barbie cameo role.
