Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling on Playing ‘Barbie’ and Ken

But at the same time, you have to be able to point out all the things people think are wrong with Barbie. Greta would say it’s more fun if you run towards it.
What was their biggest concern?
lobby I had a long list of concerns. By the way, we were completely free. They weren’t allowed to direct the film, but we didn’t want to make a film that they wouldn’t stand for.
There are also small things, such as her calling herself a stereotypical Barbie doll. The word “stereotype” has a negative connotation. They asked if another word would be considered. Sure, I said, “You can call her a generic Barbie, an original Barbie, or a blonde Barbie.” , because you have already set the parameters around yourself to be free. So it’s important to her journey. She should start there by calling herself a stereotypical Barbie doll. Because she’s already demeaning herself without realizing it.
Ryan Can you describe how you felt when you read the script for the first time?
Ryan Gosling Well, the title page said “Barbie and Ken” and the “and Ken” part was cut out. It clearly wasn’t what I expected. It’s so elegant and beautifully designed by Greta and Margot that it’s like a theme park or something that doesn’t need a map. It’s already designed to hit all the spots they want you to hit, without you even knowing it. I rode it and I’m still doing it. I don’t want to leave the park. they’re kicking me out “The park is closed, sir.” But I ordered churros and it will come, I swear.
What do you guys think about this mini hoopla over Ken’s age and Ryan being too old to play him?

lobby Barbie and Ken are technically in their sixties. No matter what. The first thing I thought when I heard about it was that “Grease” is set in a high school setting, but in all the 150 times I’ve watched it, there’s never been a time when I couldn’t enjoy it. about it. Because I thought, “I want to find out how old they are.” They found the most charismatic and talented people that fascinated me. And that’s why I love that movie.
