The Kens of the Barbie world is associated with the elite celebrity trainer David Higgins. To match the perfection of the first Kenneth Sean Carson of 1961, Gosling and his troupe of Kens, Ncuti Gatwa, and Simu Liu had to push hours of training and dance sessions for the film. Given the arduous task to match Kens with ever perfect Barbie, Higgins thought of forming a training group with Liu, Gatwa, and Gosling as they compete and encourage each other in their fitness journey for the film.

The personal trainer confessed to GQ Magazine, “Everyone was just having a good time,” before adding, “No one was miserable,” about the grinding workout regime. The female lead Margot Robbie is no exception to the rigorous workout regime to play Barbie.
