GLASGOW actress Sharon Rooney has opened up about her excitement at starring in the upcoming Hollywood blockbuster Barbie.
The 33-year-old, who has starred in My Mad Fat Diary and Two Doors Down, will join the likes of Ryan Gosling and Margot Robbie in the live-action romantic comedy, which is due to be released in July 2023.
Speaking about her busy schedule on Go Radio, Rooney revealed that she has another secret project soon after wrapping filming.
She told hosts Grado and Crofty: "I've just finished Barbie. I've spent so long keeping it a secret that I feel like I'm not allowed to say that but I am allowed to say that!
"I still feel like someone's going to jump out my wardrobe and give me into trouble for saying it!
"But yeah, I've just wrapped on that last week but I've got a couple of weeks off before I go into my next thing which I'm not allowed to talk about!"
Rooney first revealed the exciting news of her role in the Warner Bros production back in April on Instagram.

Posting a photo of herself in a bright pink suit, she wrote: "Don’t let me ever hear you say dreams don’t come true because they do!
"So buy that hot pink power suit and go for your dreams because magic things happen when you believe in YOU! Barbie, the best adventure yet."
Speaking on Tuesday's radio show, Rooney also explained why viewers haven't seen her in the popular Glasgow-based series Two Doors Down as Sophie, the daughter of Elaine C Smith's character Christine.
She said: "I was filming Dumbo at the same time as Two Doors Down went again and I just couldn't do it at the same time!"
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
