<p><strong>Cillian`s weight loss journey</strong></p>
<p>The cast of Oppenheimer is being heavily appreciated but did you know that Cillian Murphy who plays the titular character had to undergo extreme weight loss to look his character. In a recent interview, actor Emily Blunt had spoken about Cillian Murphy`s weight loss. She said to achieve his weight loss, which was necessary for the role, Cillian ate only &lsquo;an almond&rsquo; per day</p>

<p>Margot Robbie who plays Barbie in the film has been recreating Barbie doll looks during the premiere of the film in different countries. <strong><a href="https://www.mid-day.com/lifestyle/fashion/photo/in-photos-the-original-barbie-dolls-that-inspired-margot-robbie-pink-tour-wardrobe-los-angeles-london-96356" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Check out the looks recreated by Margot Robbie during the promotional tours</a></strong></p>

<p>While the Barbenheimer craze has taken over across the world, it seems the film has not garnered much fanfare in China. Barbie has been facing tough competition in the country against local blockbusters. Oppenheimer, on the other hand, is awaiting a release date in the country, despite censor board clearing it</p>
