August 4 was the birthday of Greta Gerwig, director of Barbie, one of the biggest hits of 2023 in theaters, and future director of the adaptation of The Chronicles of Narnia for Netflix. This year, in which she turned 40, has been Gerwig’s most successful since she started to break through thanks to the wonderful Lady Bird. And, of course, she had to have a celebration to match.
As we have seen in the official Instagram account of the Barbie movie, Ryan Gosling has decided to celebrate his director’s birthday with a flashmob of I’m just Ken. The actor has invited many other colleagues from the movie and together they have danced the most famous Barbie song live while the director could not hold her laughter.

Barbie has become an unprecedented hit
Barbie has become one of the most important cultural phenomena of this year. Not only has it blown up the box office, being on the verge of reaching $1 billion in box office, but it has also achieved great critical acclaim, with an 88% on Rotten Tomatoes and 84% audience acceptance.
Gerwig has undoubtedly become one of the figures of the moment thanks to her good work with Barbie and, of course, with her previous films. It remains to be seen how this will be reflected in the future of her career, although we already know that she has signed with Netflix to direct the adaptations of The Chronicles of Narnia, so it is clear that C.S. Lewis’ fantasy saga is in good hands.
