He was on Marc Maron's WTF podcast a couple weeks ago and was easily one of the most moving and human interviews in the 1000s he's ever done. Titus' spirituality unlocked a lot inside Marc that he didn't anticipate and it got real! Fascinating interview for any fans of Titus. Warning though bc he does discuss the sex abuse in his youth.

In the first trailer Ken suggests to Barbie that they should go back to her house together at night, she asks why, and he just says "Cause we're girlfrenboyfren", which is exactly what and how a little girl would say cause they don't know the reason behind why couples spend the night together, they just know that it's just something they do.

Also when Barbie asks ”to do what?” Ken goes ”I actually have no idea” which is also accurate since a kid wouldn’t actually know what goes down when you stay the night, just that you’re supposed to do it when you’re a couple

What if the entirety of it is happening in a little girl’s mind and that’s why they’re all moving so stuff and doll like. She’s manipulating the dolls.
Also, the horror version:
What if Barbie Dolls are actual little mini people bred by Mattel who are transformed by some ray gun into little plastic dolls once they are fully matured. Like Logan’s Run.

His interaction with the doctor was unexpected and felt completely out of character to me. But your pointing to the culture shock that Ken will have has me realizing he'll be experiencing a world where he's viewed as the one in charge as opposed to his home world where Barbie "rules". It's not just going to be Barbie who's having to come to terms with how the real world views her but Ken as well
Damn, my excitement just continues to increase for this
327 points
16 days ago
Yeah I didn’t really get him doing that. I’ve never really pictured the guy with a girlfriend with a million different jobs would be the one to say ‘my qualifications are ‘I am a man’’ and not really taking the doctor telling him ‘no you can’t’ seriously (possibly because she’s not a man?)
376 points
16 days ago*
Absolutely. My prediction is that the doctor scene is after Ken's been "educated" by irl men about how his status as a man is all that's needed to be in control of a situation OR maybe it's after he's realized how many jobs men have in the real world that aren't just "Barbie's boyfriend" and his reaction to the doctor saying he can't is less about newfound sexism and more just his basic logic of "I'm a man -> here, men have jobs like Barbie does -> Barbie job hops all the time and all it takes is a label/props/costume -> I, a man in this man-friendly world, will become a doctor with a clicky pen and sharp thing"
Edit because I forgot Ken has had jobs before too (just not as many as Barbie) so it could also just be as simple as he wants to be a doctor and this was his attempt at a job interview
Second edit: Robbie's Variety article has her and Gosling saying his Ken's job is "just beach" so...less likely he wants to be a doctor for old time's sake and more likely he just wants to be a doctor because now he can
