Barbie has become an internet sensation, generating massive excitement for its anticipated global box office success. Margot Robbie’s portrayal of Barbie promises to be a standout feature in the $145M film, while Ryan Gosling’s portrayal of Ken also adds significant allure, creating substantial traction for the movie.
While Margot Robbie’s Barbie character holds a prominent place in the Barbie mythos, Ken hasn’t received the same level of prominence. However, Ryan Gosling is determined to change that, taking on the role and providing fans with another character they can relate to, further enriching his diverse acting repertoire.
Ryan Gosling Shares What He Will Miss The Most About Barbie
During an interview with Entertainment Tonight, both Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling were asked about the one thing they will miss the most. Margot Robbie’s response to the question was predictable, as she asserted that she would miss the character’s hair that could be changed with her outfits.
“I miss the big bobby hair right that could change with an outfit, you know, if she wears her beach outfit, her hair might be down to here and in the next scene her hair’s up to here because she’s changed outfits and her hair magically changes too. So cool!”
The same question was directed towards Ryan Gosling about his character. The actor rather had an uncanny answer. “I miss the headbands…,” Gosling said, admitting that he took some of them home as well.
Anticipated to make a substantial impact at the box office, Barbie is projected to rake in an impressive $95-100 million from 4,200 North American theaters during its opening weekend. This potential success could solidify its position as the largest opening weekend for a female-directed film.
Why Did Ryan Gosling Agree To Play Ken In The Film
Ryan Gosling, renowned for portraying relatable leads in movies, who may be seemingly insignificant but deeply connect with the audience, seems poised to give Ken the same treatment in Barbie. During the film’s promotion, Gosling skillfully brought attention to the character through sarcastic remarks and his trademark monotonous expressions. The Blade Runner star also expressed his fascination with the role, claiming a personal connection and confidently stating that he was born to play this character.
“There’s always been a Ken inside of me. It’s the role I was born to play. I’ve had this Kenergy – if you will – and the Kenergy is alive in me now. I feel a Ken in you. You don’t think so? You’ll see. Wait till the film comes out. You’ll see. You’ll feel seen.”
As the actor joyfully promotes the movie, early reviews suggest that it might become another remarkable addition to Gosling’s illustrious filmography. The positive reception reflects the potential for Barbie to be yet another hit for the talented actor.
Barbie is currently running in theaters and will be available for streaming later.
