Here's a list of actors who were up to play Ken in 'Barbie'
In an interview with Vanity Fair, Allison Jones, who along with Lucy Bevan cast the hit film, talked about who else might have joined Barbie in her dream house. Like the line of dolls the movie is based on, there are multiple Barbies and Kens portrayed by a diverse cast of actors. But not everyone who wanted in was able to participate. According to Jones, Covid restrictions at the time meant having to spend three months in London where a great deal of the movie was filmed.
She also mentioned an actor who had to turn down the role of Ken’s friend Allan, she said. “Dear, dear Jonathan Groff was like, ‘I can’t believe I’m typing this, but I can’t do Allan,’” the casting director told the publication. That role instead went to Michael Cera. Multiple aspiring Barbie and Kens sent in audition tapes and according to Bevan, director Greta Gerwig was keen on speaking with the possible actors before even sending them the script to read.
