Exclusive: Simu Liu reveals the acrobatic on-set moment that cemented and heightened the rivalry between his Ken and Ryan Gosling’s in Barbie
The Barbie movie has been marketed as a movie for people who love Barbie as well as for people who hate Barbie. At least for the scenes set in Barbie Land, the film seems set to hit its mark; the colorful surroundings, relentless positivity, and joyful naïveté of Barbie Land fit the idea that Barbie is silly just as well as they echo the joy of playing with a beloved toy.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Simu Liu: I don't know that my goal was ever to stand out from all the other Kens in the film, but I will say that some things did emerge in the backflip department. It was revealed very early on that my Ken could backflip. How Simu Liu's Ken Elevates The Story Of The Barbie Movie It had already been revealed through trailers that Liu’s Ken and Gosling’s Ken have a rivalry, but Liu apparently backflipped his way into making it even more of a sticking point. The Ken rivalry seems to be a fun, over-the-top way to poke at the idea of Barbie as an icon worthy of jealousy and competition.
