Saoirse Ronan has said she is "gutted" that she could not take part in Greta Gerwig's upcoming Barbie movie.
The Irish actress, who was born in New York and grew up in Dublin, was originally penned to play a part in the film but a schedule clash meant she didn't get a the chance to be a Barbie girl.
"I was supposed to do a cameo because I live in London and they were (filming) there," explained the 28-year-old Oscar-nominated actress to People magazine.
However, due to her schedule filming The Outrun, an upcoming drama about a recovering alcoholic that she's been filming in Scotland, the plan didn't pan out.
"There was a whole character I was going to play - another Barbie. I was gutted I couldn't do it."
Ronan continued "I have texted Margot and Greta and I’m like, 'If you're doing any pick-up (shots), maybe I can just walk through the background?’"
Barbie stars Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, Will Ferrell and America Ferrera among other A-list names and is expected to be in cinemas in 2023.
