Rob Thomas responds to Ryan Gosling’s Matchbox Twenty cover in Barbie.
Rob Thomas, lead singer of Matchbox Twenty,"When I got the call for 'Barbie,' they told me, 'Ken’s by the fireside, he’s playing the song and it’s his favorite band.' So I did this thinking I’d be the butt of the joke, and I was fine with that. I’m pretty thick-skinned," he said.
"But Julie Greenwald came to the Hollywood Bowl a month or two ago," he continued."She had just seen the movie and was like, 'You come out of it loving Ken and loving"Push."' And I was like, 'Aww. All right, really good!'" Thomas, 51, added he got used to being made fun of in the '90s and early 2000s, especially after his band was included in a joke in"Bring It On."
"In 'Bring It On,' has this douchey boyfriend. And there’s a scene where he was in his dorm room with a Matchbox Twenty poster in the background. There was a whole period during the ‘90s where the more successful we got, the bigger target we were. We were an easy takedown," he said."Greta Gerwig has been one of my crushes forever, to the point where I was on a plane one time and I called my wife, like, 'Baby, Greta Gerwig just came on the plane, oh, my God.
