Acclaimed actress Margot Robbie has shared an interesting anecdote about her husband’s affinity for Bitcoin (BTC), coining a term that is gaining interest in the crypto world.
The Australian actress, known for her roles in several blockbuster movies, including Barbie, revealed that she playfully refers to her husband’s interest in cryptocurrency as “Big Ken Energy.”
Speaking during an interview with Fandango on June 21, the actress revealed that her husband, Tom Ackerley, who is also the co-producer of the film Barbie, discussed Bitcoin with the other producer, David Heyman.
She noted that, during the discussions, her and the director, Greta Gerwig, couldn’t help but burst into laughter. The revelations emerged after the interviewer asked Robbie about the term “Ken” and how one can spot a “Ken.”
“That’s such a Ken. That’s so funny because when we were in prep for this movie, two of our wonderful producers, one of whom is also my husband, when David and Tom would like to start talking about Bitcoin (BTC) or something, they’re being such Kens,” she said.
It is worth noting that the term Ken is derived from the Barbie movie. Notably, in the movie, Barbie and Ken experience a vibrant life in Barbie Land but find joy and challenges when they venture into the real world.
