In an interview with ET Canada, Mandi Gosling said when her brother was cast as Ken for the Greta Gerwig-directed film, it was a “no brainer.”

“You had to look for the Kenergy, but I always knew it was there,” she told her brother.

Ryan Gosling replied and said his sister was his “original Barbie.”

“She was too busy being Barbie,” he said. “She was doing all the things all the time. You know, getting me to school safely and then she was the president of that school.”

“She had more meetings than classes. It was Barbie land. When I got to set I was like, ‘This is just like my house,’” he added.
