“Barbie” star Margot Robbie waded into the ever-lively crypto discourse this weekend, after playfully condemning Bitcoin as a stereotypically ‘Ken’ conversation topic—one she’s apparently repeatedly bemoaned with “Barbie” director Greta Gerwig. 

In a recent interview promoting the Mattel-crafted box office juggernaut, Robbie said that during prep for “Barbie” she and Gerwig would regularly poke fun at some of the film’s male producers—particularly Harry Potter veteran David Heyman and Robbie’s own husband, Tom Ackerly—for so frequently discussing the cryptocurrency. 

“When David and Tom would start talking about Bitcoin or something, Greta and I would be like, ‘They’re being such Kens,’” Robbie said on a Fandango-hosted panel while rolling her eyes and pretending to fall over. “Just stop being Kens!” 

The comments, while lighthearted, alluded to the type of stereotypically male behaviors exhibited by Ryan Gosling’s character Ken in the “Barbie” film. Since the movie’s release, the term “Ken” has become a popular shorthand on social media for comically vain, cocky, or patriarchal behavior.
