In a captivating on-screen pairing, Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling took on the iconic roles of Barbie and Ken in the much-anticipated Barbie movie. As the film graced theaters on Friday, fans eagerly awaited the classic romance between the two beloved characters. However, Margot recently revealed an intriguing twist in their on-screen romance that left her female friends amused and curious.
During an interview with People magazine, Margot Robbie candidly shared that she couldn’t fully kiss her co-star, Ryan Gosling, in the movie.

When asked if she found it a relief not to have a full kissing scene with Ryan, Margot’s response was filled with humor and enthusiasm. “Uh, no! That didn’t feel like a win for me,” she exclaimed, indicating that a romantic encounter with Gosling on screen would have been a delightful experience.
The actress playfully recounted the reactions of her friends, who expressed surprise and amusement at the revelation. “All of my girlfriends were like, you did a whole movie with Ryan, and you don’t kiss? What’s wrong with you?” they teased, adding a lighthearted and playful touch to the situation.
Despite her role as both lead actress and producer in the film, Margot explained that certain creative choices influenced the absence of a full kissing scene between Barbie and Ken. The specific direction taken in the movie resulted in a romantic twist that deviated from the classic love story fans might have anticipated.
The Barbie movie’s premise, which revolves around Barbie and Ken’s expulsion from utopian Barbie land and their ensuing journey of self-discovery in the real world, promised an exciting and refreshing take on the beloved characters. With a star-studded cast that included Dua Lipa, Simu Liu, Issa Rae, Michael Cera, Will Ferrell, America Ferrera, and Kate McKinnon, the film offered a delightful and entertaining cinematic experience.
