The appearance of Ryan Gosling as Ken in the next Barbie film has been revealed, and it’s stunning.
Greta Gerwig’s portrayal of the iconic doll, her life, work, and love in the highly anticipated live action film is eagerly anticipated by fans.
In April, we first saw Margot Robbie as Barbie, complete with bleach-blonde hair, a happy face, and an all-pink Barbie automobile.
Ncuti Gatwa, the upcoming Doctor Who star, Kate McKinnon from Saturday Night Live, Marvel superhero Simu Liu, and comedic veteran Will Ferrell all star in the film.
La La Land star Ryan plays Ken, who is well-known as Barbie’s love interest, and he certainly looks the part.
Ryan can be seen posing by Barbie’s all-pink Dream House in a new photo released on Friday, his hair bleached a silver-blonde color and styled in a Ken-like manner.
The actor is dressed in denim jeans and an open denim waistcoat to show off his washboard, Ken-doll abs, with his name emblazoned on the front of his underwear.
Ryan averts his gaze from the camera as he leans against a bright pink pillas, his hands in his pockets and a smirk on his face.
Fans are more thrilled than ever for the upcoming film, thanks to Ryan’s superb portrayal of the legendary figure – and we can’t wait to watch his interactions with Barbie.
‘Ryan Gosling as Ken in #Barbie is actually perfect,’ one fan wrote on social media after the reveal.
Another predicted the film would be a ‘camp masterpiece’, while one said it was ‘top tier casting.’
Oscar-winner Greta is directing the film after writing the screenplay with her partner, Noah Baumbach.
Even while it’s all very exciting, fans will have to wait a little longer to witness Ken and Barbie in action, since the release date has been set for July 21, 2023.
Barbie, please!
