Here Are Steamy Pics Of All The Actors Playing Ken In 'Barbie' Movie

Hi Kens!

Even though Ryan Gosling is playing the main Ken character in the live-action Barbie, a select group of actors are playing different versions of the doll. Namely, Simu Liu, Scott Evans, Ncuti Gatwa, John Cena, and Kingsley Ben-Adir will be playing their own Kens in the blockbuster summer movie of 2023.

The marketing of the film has clearly established that, in this world, Kens are merely accessories to Barbies. The main version of the iconic doll is being brought to life by Margot Robbie, but Issa Rae, Hari Nef, Dua Lipa, Alexandra Shipp, Kate McKinnon, Emma Mackey, Nicola Coughlan, Ritu Arya, Sharon Rooney, and Ana Cruz Kayne are also set to play different versions of Barbie.

We couldn’t be more excited to watch Barbie on the big screen. But in the meantime, it’s time to celebrate the actors who are bringing their Big Ken Energy to the film!

Scroll through to see pictures of the actors in Barbie, which premieres July 21 in theaters.
