Thats why he told The Times newspaper:

“It does slightly sting that some people are saying, ‘What’s he doing in such a big Hollywood movie?’

“I am resigned to the fact that it’s the price I pay for not taking the big acting roles in America

and doing quiz shows and voiceovers here in the UK instead.

The Welsh actor has shared that he got his role in the blockbuster, due to having a famous fan.

It transpired that Margot Robbie, who lived in London at the beginning of her film career,

was a big follower of British comedy Gavin & Stacey, in which Brydon appeared as Uncle Bryn.

The actor told the newspaper:

“You never know who’s watching, do you? Margot loved Gavin & Stacey

and a few years ago a friend of hers asked me to record a video message for her as Bryn.

To be honest I’d forgotten all about it, and then I get the call for Barbie, and the response to it has been extraordinary.

“I am not here to blow my own trumpet, but there is a lesson for young actors do your best in every role.

Director Greta Gerwig told me she was a fan of Human Remains a BBC comedy,

in which Brydon played seven different men going through various divorces, released back in 2000, which amazed me.”

wherever the tax breaks for filming are these days, because believe me there are sacrifices,” he said.

“There has to be something inside you that needs that level of success and fame. I don’t have it.”
