Barbie “was shorter” than he had hoped.The actor, best known for starring in BBC series Gavin & Stacey, made a brief appearance in Greta Gerwig’s Barbie as Sugar Daddy Ken opposite Tom Stourton.Speaking about his cameo role to The Times, Brydon explained that a Sugar Daddy Ken scene was cut from the film.“I recorded two scenes in one day but they used only one, which itself was edited,” Brydon said. “All in all, it was shorter than one might have hoped for.”He added: “However, on the other hand there was a lot of British talent, some of whom were on set for nine months, and their appearances didn’t make the same impact as my one day of work.”Other UK actors in Barbie include Sex Education alumni Emma Mackey, Ncuti Gatwa and Connor Swindells.

Margot Robbie has revealed that she wasn’t the first choice to play the lead role in Barbie.The actor, who was also a producer on the movie, recently told Vogue that both her and director Greta Gerwig initially wanted Gal Gadot for the role but scheduling conflicts got in the way.“Gal Gadot is Barbie energy. Because Gal Gadot is so impossibly beautiful, but you don’t hate her for being that beautiful because she’s so genuinely sincere, and she’s so enthusiastically kind, that it’s almost dorky.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Given the $1 billion success of “Barbie,” it’s hard to picture anyone in the title role other than Margot Robbie. But the actor explained to Vogue back in May that it was actually Gal Gadot who was her first choice to star as Barbie. Robbie is a producer on “Barbie” and did not immediately envision herself in the role.
