Let’s go party! The full cast list of Barbie has been announced and it’s absolutely glorious

To be a Barbie is perfect...unless you're a Ken!

The live-action Barbie is coming in and hot with a cast list is chock-full of stars!

The film, directed by Greta Gerwig (Little Women), stars Australia’s very own Margot Robbie alongside superstar Ryan Gosling and is arguably the most highly anticipated movie of 2023.

Here’s everything we know about the Barbie movie!

What is Barbie about?

“To live in Barbie Land is to be a perfect being in a perfect place, unless you have a full-on existential crisis. Or you’re a Ken.”

Set in Barbieland, a Barbie doll living is expelled from the world for not being perfect enough, too eccentric and not fitting the usual mould.

She goes on an adventure in the real world and by the time she returns to Barbieland to save it, she has gained the realisation that perfection comes on the inside, not the outside, and that the key to happiness is belief in oneself.
