The Kenaissance is upon us. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight promoting his new film The Gray Man, Ryan Gosling spent some time dropping teasers for his role as Ken in the upcoming Barbie film.
Citing Gosling’s six pack abs in Barbie, ET's Lauren Zima asked which role he was more buff for. Gosling mused, “That Ken life is even harder than The Gray Man life, I think. He’s got no money, no job, no car, he’s got no house. He’s going through some stuff.”
In The Gray Man, Gosling is called a “Ken doll” by Chris Evans’ character as an insult but Gosling says that “is not an insult at all! I’m proud of that."
Major plot details have yet to be revealed about the film, but numerous set photos have leaked showcasing Gosling and Margot Robbie as Barbie in retro, throwback outfits inspired by Barbies from years past.
When asked about the set photos, Gosling said, “That’s nothing. I can’t wait for people to see the film. That's all I can say, otherwise Mattel will come in and box me up."
The film found its director in Lady Bird’s Greta Gerwig last summer. Earlier this year, Will Ferrell joined the film and will reportedly play the CEO of a toy company.
Since the film’s announcement, we’ve gotten one official look as Robbie as Barbie who took the role after Amy Schumer dropped out. Fans of Barbie might be disappointed to know that the iconic ‘Barbie Girl’ song by Danish pop group Aqua won’t be in the film. Despite that, if the official photos of Robbie as Barbie and Gosling as Ken are any indicator, the film is definitely embracing the campier side of things.
