    On Tuesday at the CinemaCon, the team of ‘Barbie‘, including Ryan Gosling, Margot Robbie, and Greta Gerwig released a several-minute-long unseen footage of the film in Caesars Palace, Las Vegas.

    According to The Hollywood Reporter, Gosling was asked about how he channeled his inner Ken for the role. “I have to be honest, I had up until this point, I only knew Ken from afar. I didn’t know Ken from within,” he said.

    He continued, “If I’m being really honest, I doubted my Ken-ergy. I didn’t see it. Margot and Greta, I feel like they conjured this out of me somewhere.” Gosling said that he started bleaching his hair, shaving his legs, and “wearing bespoke neon outfits and rollerblading down Venice Beach.”
