Greta Gerwig, the director of Barbie, turned 40 on August 4th. Following the triumph of her film, the filmmaker is on cloud nine. To make the day even more special for her, Ryan Gosling, who played Ken in the film, organised a surprise birthday gift for the filmmaker. The theme was, unsurprisingly, Barbie. Greta Gerwig received a Barbie-themed dance mob from the actor. A clip of the dance mob was released on the official Instagram account of the film Barbie.
