Ahead of the release of Gerta Gerwig's forthcoming Barbie film starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, a house in Malibu appears to be getting in the Barbie spirit.
Over the weekend, KCAL News’ helicopter cameraman John Schreiber took to Twitter to post an aerial view of a Malibu house decked out in all things Barbie.
Deadline and TMZ report that back in 2019, the home paired with AirBnb and Barbie to celebrate the doll's 60th anniversary, making the residence available for a discounted $60 a night rate.
In an interview with GQ back in May, Gosling addressed the casting criticism he's received for his portrayal of Ken.

The live-action film, penned by real-life couple Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach, opens this July via Warner Bros. Pictures and Mattel Films.
"Like you ever thought about Ken before this?" Gosling asked. "And everyone was fine with that, for him to have a job that is nothing. But suddenly, it’s like, ‘No, we’ve cared about Ken this whole time.’ No, you didn’t. You never did. You never cared. Barbie never fucked with Ken. That’s the point. If you ever really cared about Ken, you would know that nobody cared about Ken. So your hypocrisy is exposed. This is why his story must be told.”
Gosling continued by saying the character relates to a childhood version of himself.
“There’s something about this Ken that really, I think, relates to that version of myself," Gosling added. "Just, like, the guy that was putting on Hammer pants and dancing at the mall and smelling like Drakkar Noir and Aqua Net-ing bangs. I owe that kid a lot. I feel like I was very quick to distance myself from him when I started making more serious films. But the reality is that, like, he’s the reason I have everything I have.”
