In it, you can see the 41-year-old Gosling dressed in an open denim vest and jeans while rocking the classic bleach blonde platinum hair. Gosling’s denim jeans that he wears in the film even have the name “Ken” stitched into them.
While Gosling might be starring in the movie as Ken, the real question is who will be the titular Barbie.
Well, as it turns out, Margot Robbie will be stepping into the lead as Barbie. The upcoming movie, which is set to release in theaters in July of 2023, will be directed by Greta Gerwig. Other big names attached to the film are Will Ferrell, Issa Rae, Kate McKinnon and Simu Liu.
