Ryan Gosling Sent Greta Gerwig a ‘Barbie’ Flash Mob of Kens Singing ‘I’m Just Ken,’ and She Laughed So Hard She Cried: ‘That Was So Beautiful’

British actor Rob Brydon has revealed he finds it hurtful when Barbie fans question why he was cast in the record-breaking movie.

“Wonder Woman” star Gal Gadot didn’t need the lasso of truth when advised that she was considered for the plum role of “Barbie” in that film you’ve all seen.

It’s hard to imagine anyone else starring in the titular role of Barbie — but Margot Robbie initially thought Gal Gadot was the woman for the job. 

Gal Gadot opened up about a project from her past, one from her future and one that sadly did not work out for her in a new interview with Flaunt.

Barbie movie, which is directed by Greta Gerwig and stars Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, is partly set in the fictional wonderland filled with plastic palm trees and bright pink houses.In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Tyson observed the film’s sun, moon, and vegetation in order to determine where such a place would be if it really existed on Earth.“In @BarbietheMovie, the moon’s orientation places Barbie World between 20 and 40 [degrees] north latitude on the Earth,” deGrasse Tyson wrote. That places it roughly somewhere between the lower half of the U.S. and the northern half of Mexico.“Palm trees further constrain latitude between 20 and 30 [degrees],” he continued.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Given the $1 billion success of “Barbie,” it’s hard to picture anyone in the title role other than Margot Robbie. But the actor explained to Vogue back in May that it was actually Gal Gadot who was her first choice to star as Barbie. Robbie is a producer on “Barbie” and did not immediately envision herself in the role.

Barbie movie has been banned in Kuwait and now faces calls for a ban in Lebanon amid complaints in the Arab nations about the film’s social values.Kuwait’s state news agency said that the nation acted to protect the country’s “public ethics”, while Lebanon’s culture minister accused the film of “promoting homosexuality”.The film is however still being shown in other conservative parts of the region, including Saudi Arabia.Barbie, which is directed by Greta Gerwig and stars Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, has grossed more than $1bn (£784m) worldwide within weeks of its release.Lafi al-Subaiei, the head of Kuwait’s board of film classification, said that the board usually asks for movie scenes to be cut if they are deemed to flout the country’s culture. But when a film promotes behaviour the state considers unacceptable, it is banned outright.The film “promulgate[s] ideas and beliefs that are alien to Kuwaiti society and public order”, a spokesman for the Kuwaiti Ministry of Information said (via BBC News).On Wednesday, the Lebanese Culture Minister Mohammad Mortada asked the interior ministry to “take all necessary measures to ban” Barbie.He said the film “promotes homosexuality and transsexuality… supports rejecting a father’s guardianship, undermines and ridicules the role of the mother, and questions the necessity of marriage and having a family”.Meanwhile, in the US, comedian and actor Marc Maron recently hit out at the film’s conservative critics, describing them as “insecure babies”.“The fact that certain men took offence to the point where they, you know, tried to build a grift around it in terms of their narrative as right wing [expletive] is so embarrassing for them.

Mark Ronson has trolled Bill Maher for describing Barbie as “man-hating”.In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter) Maher took aim at the film for being “preachy” and criticised a scene in which Barbie (Margot Robbie) confronts the Mattel board, which is made up of 12 men in the movie.Maher described the scene as a “zombie lie”, due to the fact that the Mattel board actually has seven men and five women on it in real life.In response to Maher’s post, Ronson, who served as a music producer and oversaw the film’s original soundtrack, jokingly quoted Nicole Kidman’s famed AMC cinema ad.“We come to this place for magic,” he wrote. “We come to AMC theatres to laugh, to cry, to care… and to furiously google ‘Mattel board configuration’ while others are trying to enjoy a fucking magnificent comedy.”OK, "Barbie": I was hoping it wouldn't be preachy, man-hating, and a #ZombieLie – alas, it was all three.

Deadline has confirmed that Warner Bros’ billion-dollar grossing Barbie won’t be getting a release in Kuwait, and it’s skating on thin ice in Lebanon.

grossed more than a billion dollars worldwide — and eight months from now, a million more Barbies could be saying “hi” to the world, info from one popular baby naming website suggests.According to Nameberry, searches for “Barbie” have surged by 603% since April, when the trailer for the Greta Gerwig-directed summer blockbuster was released.The film, which swept into theaters in July, stars Margot Robbie as in the titular role and Ryan Gosling as Ken.Searches for “Ken” — or “Kenneth” — saw a 293% increase in the same time period.“Barbie and Ken are piquing parents’ interest, but this doesn’t mean that will translate into actual usage,” Nameberry’s editor-in-chief Sophie Kihm told People.Prior to the film’s release, Kihm noted, “Barbie” had been a very popular name with Amish parents.And while the spike in interest has been impressive, Kihm said the two names are not expected to crack the top 10 anytime soon.“Barbie and Ken are both dated names that aren’t due to come back yet, so while there may be a slight bump from the movie, neither will be among the most popular baby names of 2023,” she explained.Currently, “Barbie” ranks 1,896 out of 2,000 of the most popular names for 2023 on the website.

Barbie box office prediction, after the film crossed the $1billion mark.The conservative political commentator, who posted a review of Greta Gerwig’s film on his YouTube channel last month, predicted the movie would “absolutely fall off a cliff” following its first week of release.“Week one this thing is going to clean up at the domestic box office,” Shapiro said in his review. “My prediction: it’s going to just absolutely fall off a cliff after that.“The repeat business on this movie is going to be non-existent because it was written by two people who are so smug and self-satisfied in Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach, that they have no audience.”Last week, Barbie crossed the $1billion mark at the worldwide box office, becoming the first film solely directed by a woman to hit the milestone.

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter “Barbie” will play in theaters across the Middle East after all. Greta Gerwig’s billion-dollar blockbuster was running into censorship issues in certain territories, including in the region’s top market of Saudi Arabia, so it looked increasingly like the film would be banned. But those matters appear to have been resolved, as the movie is set to release on Thursday.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Now that “Barbie” has officially crossed the $1 billion mark at the worldwide box office, speculation about a potential sequel has intensified tenfold. Greta Gerwig, who directed “Barbie” in addition to co-writing its script with Noah Baumbach, told The New York Times she has no ideas yet for a “Barbie 2.” However, she also told People magazine before the film joined the $1 billion club that she hoped her movie “is the launch of a world and a bunch of different Barbie movies.” “There’s a tone and a humor and a joy, and obviously the world is so beautiful,” Gerwig told the publication. “I want to go back to Barbie Land.” Margot Robbie was less assertive when asked about a “Barbie” sequel in pre-release interviews.
