\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\t\t\tIssa Rae can\u2019t wait to stop wearing pink after the Barbie press tour\u00a0ends. The 38-year-old actress confessed to hating the rosy hue at the film\u2019s London premiere on Wednesday, July 12. \u201cI, like, actually hate pink. So much,\u201d she told TV personality Amelia Dimoldenberg on the red carpet. \u201cI know. I don\u2019t want the records [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Rae was given just 24 hours\u2019 notice to learn the dance number for the film. Prior to filming, the Insecure<\/em> creator was at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., when she received a phone call from her agent.<\/p>\n\u201c\u2018Hey, so for the Barbie<\/em> movie? They want you to dance,\u2019\u201d Rae recalls her agent telling her. \u201cI almost dropped my phone. \u2018Excuse me?\u2019 You said I wouldn\u2019t have to dance!\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\nAfter the initial shock wore off, Rae\u2019s friends, who were in D.C. with her at the time, attempted to teach her the choreography quickly.<\/p>\n
\u201cChoreography has always been my biggest challenge, due to being uncoordinated, and has honestly been a nonstarter for some pretty exciting job opportunities,\u201d Rae wrote. \u201cI texted my agent, \u2018And it\u2019s too late to quit?\u2019 He replied quickly: \u2018Yes.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
Rae wrote that she studied the choreography video while on her flight to England, where the movie was filming. When she arrived on set the next day for solo rehearsal, the choreographers informed her that the routine had been changed. She was taught a new routine within an hour to perform with the rest of the cast.<\/p>\n
