Greta Gerwig’s film Barbie is the highest-grossing movie of 2023 and is one of the biggest films of the 2023 movie season—for a good reason. With beautifully designed sets and star-stubbed casting, this buzzy release is full of fun, filled with bright colors and pop style.
While the movie received appraisals from the general audience, a great number of Hollywood celebrities have also appreciated it for its relatability. Even the Loki actor is also on the list of Barbie lovers. But he doesn’t think that he would make a great Ken for Barbie if there will ever be a sequel.
Loki Star Tom Hiddleston is Skeptical About Being ‘Kenough’ for Barbie
On the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Tom Hiddleston talks about Loki and his MCU past, present, and future. In a conversation with Josh Horowitz, the actor revealed that Barbenheimer really rocked his world. He said that he “did the double feature, Monday night Oppenheimer, Tuesday Barbie-both was great.”
“I mean it was great, I mean I feel, I don’t want to do a disservice to Christopher Nolan and Greta Gerwig, by making them a hybrid. [Chuckles] That was not the intention. But it did become an extraordinary cultural moment.”
When the podcaster asked Hiddleston if he thinks he’s “Kenough,” the Loki star immediately disapproved, “No, no way!” The Marvel actor continued:
“Come on look, I’m wearing navy blue like I’m wearing gray. I just want to be respectful to all the Kens. I don’t deserve to be in the beautiful pink world.”
For those who are unknown, Kenough word comes from Barbie. At the end of the movie, Ken (Ryan Gosling) wears a tie-dye that says “I am Kenough” — combining his name with the word “enough.”
Tom Hiddleston Could Be a Great Fit For the Role of Ken
While Ryan Gosling is people’s ultimate and ideal Ken in Barbie, Tom Hiddleston could have also made a great Ken for stereotypical Barbie in Barbie land.
The 42-year-old is an excellent choice for the role of Barbie due to many supporting reasons. One of the reasons is his charming demeanor, as seen in roles like Loki in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
His role aligns with the characteristics associated with Ken. While Hiddleston could be a great Ken, it is still subjective. Even though the Westminster native thinks he is not enough, he definitely thinks that Gerwig’s Barbie has rocked his world.
