During his appearance at the ‘Barbie’ premiere in Los Angeles on Sunday (09.07.23), Ryan was asked if he’ll be showing the film to his kids and he told Etonline.com: “Well, it was, I think, weird enough for them that I played Ken anyway. I might like, you know, just hold off on them seeing the full Ken energy.”

However, Ryan admitted Esmeralda, eight, and Amada, seven, have seen some things from the film and they helped him perfect the part. He added: “They’ve seen a lot pieces of [the film], and helped me a lot with it. They were huge inspiration for me.”

He also had high admiration for his co-star Margot, who served as one of the producers for the film. He emphasized that she played a crucial role in bringing the ‘Barbie’ dream to reality.

Ryan went said: “I think it’s all been incredible, everything, the whole way. Margot has produced this film and built this film, structured the process, created the environment for all of us. I mean, this [the premiere] is an indication of what it was like to shoot [the movie].

“She created this, she’s made it come true in every way, and it’s brilliant.”
