Barbie director Greta Gerwig explains how Ryan Gosling's Ken was influenced by a surprise action icon, of whom she and Gosling share a love.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Barbie director Greta Gerwig explains the unique influence for her film’s Ken. As in the case of the army of Barbies, Barbie is populated by a number of Kens. These Kens are lead by actor Ryan Gosling, who is joined by a smattering of other Kens played by actors like Simu Liu, Ncuti Gatwa, John Cena, and Kingsley Ben-Adir.

Ryan Gosling also loves Sylvester Stallone. We had so long to think about it and talk about it, and he and I really did. His faux mink came from Sylvester Stallone's amazing outfits. Why This Influence Makes Barbie’s Ken Even More Perfect Ken is one of the most interesting characters in Barbie’s feminist parable. As Barbie’s long-term, long-distance, low-commitment, casual boyfriend, Ken has moments in Barbie where he is almost an accessory to the much more centralized female characters.
