The first image of his character leaves no room for doubt and above all it could not be different from how we see it: Gosling in fact appears very tanned and very muscular, with a very good California platinum blonde tint; also his look speaks of a very American coolness, with jeans trousers and waistcoats, suitably open on the sculpted abdominals, complete with elastic underpants that come out from the low waist to emphasize his love for brands. This portrait in flesh and blood of Ken is so exact, precisely as we imagined it, that it almost seems to be a kind of parody that plays on an exaggerated collective imagination.
The photo is actually the pair with the one published weeks ago in which Margot Robbie was seen showing off her very blond Barbie look aboard the shocking pink convertible dreamed of in miniature by generations of girls (and not only) and magnified now to adhere to our reality. If Robbie and Gosling perfectly embody the idea we have of Barbie and Ken, however, it is likely that the film in its entirety subverts our expectations: rumors want the plot to be populated with different incarnations of the same dolls (for example, to interpret a Ken would also have been called Simu Liu, the Chinese-born actor returning from the success of Shang-Chi). The film, due out in July 2023, will also star Kate McKinnon, Alexandra Shipp, Emma Mackey, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Issa Rae, Michael Cera and many more.
