Speaking to PEOPLE in August about the bonds she formed while filming the Greta Gerwig-directed blockbuster film Barbie, Greenblatt revealed that her mom, Soli, had a dream about Robbie’s pregnancy.
“I was like, ‘Mom, I’m not texting Margot ‘I think you’re pregnant.’ She’s going to think I’m crazy,” Greenblatt, 16, said in PEOPLE’s August digital cover story.
Then, when the news was out, she went straight to her mom: “I was like, ‘Mom, Margot’s pregnancy came out today.’ And she was like, ‘I called it, I’m a bruja (witch). I can tell the future.’ ” She gave a dramatic pause. “That happens a lot with her.”
