Fellow Edinburgh boxer and world champion Josh Taylor: "It's a very, very sad day. My very first coach was one of his sons, Raymond. My condolences go out to him and all of Ken's family - they are putting to rest a true Scottish legend. I was surprised, how some people were kind of clutching their pearls about my Ken, as though they ever thought about Ken for a second before this,” Gosling told Jimmy Fallon.

Since this year’s Barbie movie generated lots of buzz and started the Barbiecore craze, the modern-day Ken is sure to inspire a ton of Halloween costumes. The good news is, there are so many versions of Ken to choose from that you aren’t likely to look exactly like every other Ken at the party.

Bring your cowboy fantasy to life with our officially licensed Barbie Movie Men's Ken Cowboy Costume. This ensemble is not just a costume; it is a trip to glamour, too!

That same year, the Scot was the American Boxing Writers' Association's Fighter of the Year, ahead of Joe Frazier and Muhammad Ali. Like the Barbies, the Kens ranged from stars like Ryan Gosling, Simu Liu, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Scott Evans, Ncuti Gatwa, and even John Cena. “There’s a point in the movie where the Kens are riding invisible horses from their beach battle to the Mojo Dojo Casa Houses,” Gerwig told The New York Times, “and I think to myself, every time: Why did they let us do this?” Use some face body paint to create some scars or bruises on your face or body. Choose a color that contrasts with your skin tone and looks realistic. This will make you look more rugged and dangerous, just like Ken after he fights with Barbie.Wear a puff sleeve ruffle dress over your Ken doll costume or blue suit. Choose a color that matches your costume and fits your size. This will make you look more hilarious and ironic, just like Ken when he disguises himself as a girl to escape from Barbie. He defeated Ruben Navarro in Los Angeles in 1971 to take the WBC crown and become Scotland's first undisputed world champion, a feat only matched 50 years later by Josh Taylor.
