Looking at his onscreen transformation into Barbie’s boyfriend, Ryan admitted, “I have to be honest, I had up until this point, I only knew Ken from afar. I didn’t know Ken from within. 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.”
The actor jokingly added that filming “came on like a fever.”
“One day, I was bleaching my hair and shaving my legs and wearing bespoke neon outfits and rollerblading down Venice Beach,” he recalled. “Why is there fake tanner on my sheets? Why am I wearing jackets without shirts? What just happened?”
