10 Actors Who Were Almost Cast In Barbie

Barbie features a huge star-studded cast led by Margot Robbie, but she was the third actor considered for the role during the movie’s development, and there were many others considered for additional roles, too. Starring as the titular protagonist, Robbie seems like she was born to play Barbie given her physical appearance and instant likability. Ryan Gosling is perfect, too, as he flexes his comedy muscles playing the patriarchy-loving Ken. As a result, Barbie has become a phenomenal success, grossing $1.3 billion worldwide (via Box Office Mojo) and breaking numerous box office records, including one for the highest-grossing movie of all time for a woman director.
