Kingsley Ben-Adir Reveals How He Prepared to Play Bob Marley While Filming 'Barbie' (Exclusive)


The 'One Love' actor spoke with ET.

Ben-Adir admitted he was even listening to Marley while shooting Barbie, in which he played one of the many Kens, alongside Ryan Gosling, Simu Liu, Ncuti Gatwa and Scott Evans. Despite practicing and working to find Marley's voice between shooting scenes for Barbie, Ben-Adir admitted that he didn't really share his journey with anyone, explaining, "My process was private for as long as possible -- until I needed help." Directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green -- and produced in partnership with the Marley family -- One Love also stars Lashana Lynch, James Norton, Tosin Cole, Anthony Welsh, Michael Gandolfini, Umi Myers, and Nadine Marshall.
