Hold onto your Malibu Dreamhouses because Ryan Gosling is about to charm his way into the upcoming comedy "Barbie." In this new official preview for the film, Gosling showcases his versatility by taking on the role of Ken, the iconic male counterpart to Barbie.

Prepare to see a different side of Gosling as he fully embraces the comedic and wacky nature of Ken, known for his stylish blonde hair, perfect physique, and unexpected singing talents. Gosling proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that he's more than capable of embodying the essence of a vacant-minded, self-absorbed himbo. Which is to say, he seemingly delivers a performance that is both hilarious and oddly endearing.

The film, directed by Greta Gerwig (Lady Bird, Little Women), features Margot Robbie in the role of Barbie as it offers a fresh and entertaining take on the beloved Mattel toy line. Barbie embarks on an odyssey, departing from her opulent lifestyle and venturing into the real world, driven by a quest for profound understanding. As she explores the genuine world, seeking answers to life's most thought-provoking questions, Ken remains blissfully ignorant of any existential quandaries. His sole desire is to accompany Barbie, even if it entails abandoning their fabricated, plastic universe in favor of the authentic one. What could possibly go wrong?

"Barbie" boasts an impressive supporting cast including Simu Liu, Will Ferrell, America Ferrera, Issa Rae, Emma Mackey, Alexandra Shipp, Michael Cera, Kate McKinnon, Hari Nef, and many others. The film is set to hit theaters next week on July 21st.
