Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling starrer Barbie is the latest talk of Tinseltown, with the film garnering a massive fan following. WWE legend Rob Van Dam (RVD) recently gave his honest take on it.
Multi-time world champion John Cena is also reportedly cast in the movie directed by Greta Gerwig. The film was released in theatres on July 21, 2023, and is going up against Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer. Despite the steep challenge, the film seems to be doing well and has garnered a lot of popularity.
Cena's former rival Rob Van Dam, while speaking on the 1 of a Kind podcast, shared his take on the film. RVD mentioned that he and his wife, Katie Forbes (IMPACT Wrestling star), went to watch Barbie at a preview showing.
