Holywood star Ryan Gosling has gone platinum blonde for his role as Ken in Greta Gerwig’s live-action ‘Barbie’ movie.
Warner Bros. released the first photo of Gosling in character in which Ryan can be seen rocking his character’s signature hair and denim outfit, with his chiseled abs on full display.
This first look at Ken comes almost two months after fans got a glimpse of Margot Robbie as Barbie. In the April sneak-peek, a smiling Robbie could be seen posing in a hot pink convertible.

While fans will have to wait until 2023 to see the finished product, Robbie, who is also a producer on the film, has previously shared some insight into the project.

“Playing with Barbie promotes confidence, curiosity, and communication throughout a child’s journey to self-discovery,” Robbie said in a 2019 press release. “Over the brand’s almost 60 years, Barbie has empowered kids to imagine themselves in aspirational roles from a princess to president. I’m so honored to take on this role and produce a film that I believe will have a tremendously positive impact on children and audiences worldwide. I can’t imagine better partners than Warner Bros and Mattel to bring this film to the big screen.”
The film’s all-star cast also includes America Ferrara, Simu Liu, Kate McKinnon, Alexandra Shipp, Emma Mackey and America Ferrera. Margot Robbie is producing the film under her LuckyChap Entertainment production banner along with LuckyChap’s Tom Ackerley. Robbie Brenner also will produce through Mattel, as will David Heyman via Heyday Films. LuckyChap’s Josey McNamara and Mattel’s Ynon Kreiz are executive producers.
