While a Barbie sequel might be off the table for director Greta Gerwig and star Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, who stole hearts as the titular Ken in the film, has hinted at a potential spinoff centered around his character.
Despite the film’s immense success at the box office, grossing over $1.4 billion, Gerwig and Robbie have expressed their lack of interest in continuing the story. However, Gosling seems open to the possibility of revisiting the world of Ken, albeit in a different form.

Ryan Gosling’s portrayal of Ken in the blockbuster Barbie movie has certainly turned heads. His toned physique and chiseled features brought the iconic doll to life, leaving many wondering how he achieved his impressive transformation.
To achieve the Ken-tastic physique, Gosling reportedly followed a disciplined diet and workout routine.

Celebrity personal trainer David Higgins, responsible for whipping the Barbie cast into shape, revealed in a GQ interview some key aspects of Gosling’s diet. The primary rule was a strict avoidance of processed foods, emphasizing whole, nutrient-dense choices.
