Greta Gerwig has found her real-life Ken. During her recent appearance at the 35th annual Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards Gala, the director shared her excitement on the positive reception of her latest directorial venture along with comments on tying the knot with co-writer Noah Baumbach on the event’s red carpet while talking to Entertainment Tonight. Her excitement is not surprising since three weeks after entering the theatre Barbie became the first movie directed by a female director to enter the $1 billion club making Gerwig a phenomenon overnight. Let’s check out the complete details of this story.
Greta said the audience’s reaction was the biggest gift I could ever be given as a filmmaker
The 40-year-old told the media house, “Honestly, I was just so happy that the audience responded the way that it did. It was like that was the biggest gift I could ever be given as a filmmaker because I make movies that I hope connect with people. So, this is all like a cherry on top of a cherry on top of, I mean it’s amazing.”
Greta also opened up about the comparison between her and James Cameron’s 1997 classic Titanic, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. She said, “Well, I can speak to that because I was part of the Titanic fever. I mean, I don’t know if what was in my heart when I saw Titanic was in people’s hearts when they saw Barbie, but I’m very honored that you make that comparison.”
Later on, the conversation changed to her personal life. The director talked about her surprise wedding to Barbie co-writer Noah Baumbach who first met on the set of the 2010 film Greenberg and later started dating in 2011.
The director said about her marriage, “We wanted to do it, we kept waiting for a moment to make a big wedding, but suddenly we were like, ‘We’ll do a big wedding at some point, but let’s just do it.’ And we were like, ‘Let’s go to city hall, and let’s go to Billy Joel.’”
On top of that, she also reflected on the change that comes with marriage, “Yeah, it does, isn’t that crazy?”
Talking about her husband he was in New York with their two children while Gerwig was accompanied by her Barbie stars Margot Robbie and America Ferrera at the gala.
