Matt Bomer Reflects on Turning Down Ken Role in Barbie for Maestro

Matt Bomer has expressed contentment with his decision to turn down a role as Ken in Greta Gerwig's 'Barbie' to focus on his role in Bradley Cooper's film 'Maestro.' He noted that the collaborative environment with Cooper provided an immersive experience that he believes would have been compromised had he taken on the quick filming schedule for 'Barbie.' Bomer emphasized that his work in 'Maestro' profoundly changed his approach to acting, shaping his career for the foreseeable future. He auditioned for 'Barbie,' showcasing versatility in his portrayal of Ken, but ultimately felt that prioritizing 'Maestro' was the right choice. Ryan Gosling ultimately played Ken in the hit film, which became a box office success. Bomer currently stars in the Hulu sitcom 'Mid-Century Modern,' which he hopes will bring joy to audiences.
