The Ken Experience
As the world gets ready to watch Barbie make her live-action movie debut in “Barbie“, Ken (portrayed by Ryan Gosling) is set to play the hospitable host in the enchantingly revamped Malibu DreamHouse. Despite always living under Barbie’s enormous shadow, Ken now steps up to the plate, transforming a section of the Malibu DreamHouse with all his beloved accessories. While his, well, “Kenergy” is unmistakably palpable, Barbie’s iconic pink hues pervade the entire real-life toy mansion.
Ken cheerily quips, “Everyone has dreams, Barbie’s been living hers in this house. Now it’s my turn to make some dreams come true in these uniquely Ken-centric surroundings.” All this hosting excitement stems from the much-awaited release of the “Barbie” film, directed by Greta Gerwig, with an all-star ensemble including Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling (read our interview with the stars of the movie), America Ferrara, Kate McKinnon, Issa Rae, Rhea Perlman, and Will Ferrell.
A Peek Inside the DreamHouse
The beachfront mansion located in sunny Malibu offers breathtaking panoramic views, the perfect canvas for Ken’s idyllic paradise. Lucky fans will have the opportunity to book Ken’s revamped bedroom in the DreamHouse for two exclusive one-night stays on July 21 and 22, 2023. The best part? The stay is on the house, since Ken feels it’s priceless to experience Barbie’s DreamHouse.
Guests can expect an array of vibrant activities, from delving into Ken’s stylish wardrobe to embracing their inner cowboy on his outdoor disco dance floor. A beach off and serenading the sunset with Ken’s guitar are on the itinerary. As a memento, guests can take home their own set of pink-and-yellow Impala skates and surfboards.
