Matt Hancock has presented us all to a Ken lip-sync in sequences that indicate the Barbie live-action movie has truly spread and been viewed by everyone.
Yes, the 44-year-old former Health Secretary took on TikTok on Sunday to participate in the hoopla around the summer’s biggest film.
Barbie, starring Margot Robbie as the titular iconic doll and Ryan Gosling as her boyfriend/accessory Ken, forces Ken to go on a genuine journey of self-discovery as he fights with his position as second-fiddle.
Gosling bursts out into a complete musical performance, I’m Just Ken, in one of the most acclaimed moments of the big film, which has subsequently broken into the UK official charts.
And it was at this point that the disgraced West Suffolk MP, who is standing down in the upcoming general election, chose to voice his thoughts.
Walking along the beach at dusk, outfitted in a white shirt-sleeved shirt, beige shorts, and white sneakers, Hancock gave us his best Ken, replete with clearly well-rehearsed dancing movements.
For the line: ‘I’m just Ken / Where I see love, she sees a friend.’ he even made a heart symbol by bringing his thumbs and index fingers together.
As the music progressed, we saw the former I’m A Celebrity contestant shrug wildly, point to his face and even raise his hands to imply combat: ’What will it take for her to see the man behind the tan and fight for me?’
However, it appears that the politician’s effort at light-hearted social media material did not go down well with the film’s fans.
‘This is a fever dream,’ responded one social media user, while another added: ‘Never thought I’d see this in my life.’
‘Not Matt Hancock surely,’ commented another baffled fan.
Others, on the other hand, were more forthright in their disapproval, and one word in particular kept coming up – ‘Kenough’.
‘I’ve had Kenough,’ complained multiple people in the comments, who were not interested in engaging further with Hancock’s Barbie content.
‘Definitely Kenough 🤣,’ added another.
‘Imagine just walking on a beach and seeing matt hancock walking singing a barbie song about ken,’ mused one person while someone else said: ‘crying rn ryan gosling doesn’t deserve this.’
‘This is reminding me of that black mirror episode except he’s actively choosing to do this,’ mused someone else over the weirdness of it all.
Barbie, which has been in theatres for little over two weeks, has now officially surpassed the $1 billion mark, shattering the record for a film directed only by a woman.
The Greta Gerwig-scripted and directed picture is presently the second highest-grossing film of the year, trailing only The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which grossed $1.35 billion.
Barbie is in cinemas now.
