No Margot Robbie, no Ryan Gosling: “Tokio Hotel” singer Bill Kaulitz was disappointed because the two main actors stayed away from the premiere of the film “Barbie” in the Berlinale Palast.
“I got dressed especially for Ryan,” said Kaulitz at the event, where a pink carpet was rolled out to match the occasion. The plan was that “we actually wanted to shoot Tiktoks together all day today and I’ve been thinking a lot about how to get Ryan around today,” joked the 33-year-old.
Because of an actors’ strike in the US, the main actors were Gosling and Robbie did not come to the German premiere as originally planned. The strike is binding on US actors.
Kaulitz, who has lived in Los Angeles with his brother Tom since 2010, has already seen the film. “I just love him,” says Kaulitz. “It’s a film about very topical issues, equality, the position of women, including the position of men.” The film is very emotional, about being free and finding oneself, and has an incredibly modern cast.
Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” tells the story of the iconic Barbie doll, portrayed by Robbie (33, “I, Tonya”) and Ken (Gosling, 42) who are happy in the colourful, seemingly perfect world of Barbieland. But then they are transported into the real world – and the adventure begins.
The comedy is the first film adaptation with real actors. The Barbie doll has only appeared in animated films, never in a feature-length film with real actors. “Barbie” can be seen in Germany from July 20th.
