In the dazzling world of Hollywood, decisions can sometimes be as tricky as walking in stilettos. Case in point: Dan Levy, the brilliant co-creator of Schitt’s Creek, recently spilled the tea on a decision that still haunts him—the opportunity to be a Ken in Greta Gerwig’s Barbie film.

Imagine the glam, the glitter, the sheer fabulousness of being a Ken in one of the most talked-about films in recent times. Alas, for Levy, this dream was almost a reality until a pesky scheduling conflict crashed the party.

Levy shared the backstage drama in an interview with People, revealing, “Logistically could not make it work despite desperately trying to.”

The agony in his voice is palpable as he continued, “So, yeah, I guess I was technically unavailable to do that. Does it haunt me when I sleep at night? Sometimes. It’s not like it isn’t like one of the biggest movies of all time. That was a tough, that was a tough day.”

The Barbie film, starring the delightful Margot Robbie as the iconic doll and Ryan Gosling as the main Ken, became a box office sensation, leaving fans dazzled and critics singing its praises.

It seems the only thing Dan Levy regretted missing more than the star-studded Barbie party was the chance to party with Barbie herself.

The casting for the Ken role wasn’t a walk in the park either. Last July, Vanity Fair spilled the casting beans, revealing that Levy, along with Bowen Yang and Ben Platt, was in the running for the coveted Ken parts.

However, due to the film’s shooting in London under strict COVID protocols, the logistical nightmare meant that every cast member had to spend three months in the city, creating an unavoidable clash for Levy.

Dan Levy’s comedic genius and charisma would undoubtedly have added an extra layer of fabulous to the film.

Picture him, perfectly coiffed and dressed to the nines, sharing the screen with Margot Robbie’s Barbie—it’s a missed cinematic moment that even the most glamorous red carpet event can’t overshadow.

While Barbie went on to become a symbol of empowerment and a box office juggernaut, Levy dived into his new Netflix film, Good Grief, streaming since January 5. Yet, one can’t help but wonder if Levy ever catches himself humming Barbie Girl and thinking about what could have been.

In Hollywood, where dreams are crafted and crushed at the speed of light, Dan Levy’s Barbie saga remains a testament to the unpredictable dance of fame, schedules, and the tantalizing allure of a role that slipped through the cracks. As the Ken doll might say, “C’est la vie!”
