The summer of 2023 got a little crazy for Bryan Adams at his Salt Lake City concert earlier this month, when a fan ambushed the singer and took the stage and microphone by storm. Adams was performing his smash hit "Summer of '69" when an unruly concertgoer hopped on stage, prompting the Canadian rocker to move away from the microphone. "Bought it at the five and dime," a man sang commandingly into the microphone, much to Adams' bemusement. The crasher got to sing a few more lyrics before security men in red shirts rushed on stage and grabbed him on both sides. The man was escorted off-stage, and without missing a beat, Adams was able to hit his cue for the iconic line, "Was the summer of '69." Adams posted the ordeal to his Instagram – making fun of the bizarre nature of the act.

Given that two talented Canadian heartthrobs are playing Ken in the highly-anticipated picture, Hickey asked Liu what the most Canadian thing is about the beloved doll’s portrayal in the movie.
“I think to call Kens polite and to call them Canadian would be giving Kens too much credit,” quipped Liu. “Because Kens don’t start the movie in a particularly empowering place. But maybe they get there near the end. Maybe they’ve become a little bit more Canadian at the end. The most Canadian thing about Kens is that they celebrate each other’s differences, their multiculturalism. And they’re a very accepting group of people for the most part.”
