Margot Robbie is unquestionably the finest.
The Barbie actress, 33, is usually a joy to be around, and she was even more so when she met a deaf admirer.
A viral video of the Wolf of Wall Street star chatting with a fan on the red carpet captured the moment.
The caption, when translated from Portuguese, reads: ‘Barbie (Margot Robbie) speaking in Sign Language with a fan.’
Margot appeared to be pleased to be allowed to apply her sign language abilities in the video, and she did so with apparent ease.
Fans were loving the scenes, as one wrote: ‘Wow.. amazing bravo to her.’

Another said: ‘how can you not stan ? be honest,’ while someone else wrote: ‘As if we needed another reason to love her!’ [sic]
There was also some disagreement among fans over the type of sign language Margot was using.
One person wrote: ‘I’m deaf and sign fluent ASL. This looks like BSL.’
As a Queensland native, one may suppose the actor is familiar with Auslan, which is extensively utilised by Australia’s deaf community.
ASL stands for American Sign Language, whereas BSL is for British Sign Language.
There are about 300 different sign languages in the globe, and they differ from one another.
Sign language has regional dialects even within nations.
While ASL uses predominantly one hand to spell out letters, BSL and Auslan both employ a two-handed fingerspelling technique.
Margot appears to be speaking one of the latter languages in the video, which are extremely similar in appearance and, together with New Zealand Sign Language, are even regarded by some experts to be dialects of the same language.
While users of BSL, NSL, and Auslan can communicate with one another, ASL is a different story.
This comes after Barbie dominated the box office over the weekend, slightly ahead of the highly anticipated Oppenheimer.
The pink-tastic, funny film stars Margot with Ryan Gosling, while the World War II drama stars Cillian Murphy, Matt Damon, and Florence Pugh.
