Ryan Gosling set to play Ken in the new "Barbie" movie

If you thought Canadian actor Ryan Gosling was a doll, it turns out you’re right. That’s because Gosling is set to play Ken in an upcoming live-action Barbie film.

He’ll join Margot Robbie as Barbie in the upcoming film directed by Greta Gerwig – an academy-award nominated filmmaker who also directed Little Women and Lady Bird.

Although it’s not clear yet what the film will be about, IMDB lists a brief description of the project as a feature film based on the Mattel toys about a doll who gets expelled from Barbieland and sets off on real-world adventures.
