‘Barbie’ Fight Scene Came As A Surprise To Michael Cera, Since Another Big Star Was Supposed To Do It


He wasn't supposed to fight in 'Barbie,' but Michael Cera stepped in for another star.

A Q&A for the Happy Sad Confused podcast revealed that Cera’s big fight scene in Barbie with construction worker Kens came about only because Ben Affleck dropped out of the film. Affleck had to drop out of Barbie because of his commitment to last year’s sports drama Air. Watch the rest of Cera’s interview — which also included his costars America Ferrera, Kate McKinnon, and Ryan Gosling — above.
