The actor, comedian and writer now has more followers than Gwyneth Paltrow as well as her first leading TV role in new Australian comedy Wellmania.

As Barber's star has risen, so too has her list of famous fans, including Kris Jenner, Cindy Crawford and Zooey Deschanel. She has also been interviewed by Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Kimmel."I see it [celebrity] for what it is, and now that I'm in, I'm gonna blow it up from the inside," she jokes.

Barber told the ABC in 2015: "I'm very pro-woman. I don't want to be bashing people like Kim K, I actually think … she is a smart businesswoman.""It's still in the bucket list to grace the stage of Belvoir Street and/or Sydney Theatre Company, but that's yet to happen," Barber tells ABC Arts. "I was still trying to audition and trying to get jobs, but women have children and they are forgotten about," says Barber.
