Michael Cera debuted a new hairdo that genuinely had “Kenergy” at the 2024 Tribeca Film Festival in New York City on Saturday, June 8.

The 36-year-old was snapped on the red carpet of the Sacramento premiere in a cream sweatshirt, blue dress pants, dress footwear, and topped off with red-tinted sunglasses.

The initially brown-haired actor has been channeling his inner Barbie vibes in current events, specifically throughout the premiere of the film final year exactly where he matched with Ryan Gosling in an all-pink suit.

Michael — who played the function of Allan, a discontinued Mattel doll  in the film — has enjoyed forming aspect of the all-pink globe. He recalled his audition story throughout an interview with GQ final year, noting, “It was a kind of very last-minute casting…My manager got a call checking on my availability for it, and he called me and he said, ‘I got a call about this movie. It’s the Barbie movie. Greta Gerwig’s directing it, and it’s filming in London for four months or something, so I told them you probably wouldn’t want to do it because you probably don’t want to go to London.’…I was like, ‘What! Call them back!’ He didn’t like blow it or anything, but he’s like, ‘I managed their expectations that you might not want to do it.’ I was like, ‘How can I not do it? I need to do it!’” 

He added, “I somehow got Greta’s email address, I think through a common friend of ours, and I emailed her like, ‘Can I be in it? Can I do that part?’…And she was like, ‘Let’s get on a Zoom right now. Here’s a Zoom link, I’ll be on there for the next hour.’ So she was just hanging out on the Zoom, like, ‘Click the link whenever you’re ready.’ And then we talked about it, and it just all happened really fast from there.”

Since then, he swooned more than viewers with his hilarious “sad person” persona. “He’s [Allan]  just a person that doesn’t really have any place in the world…It just wasn’t selling. The world just didn’t need for Ken to have a friend… Barbie is good, we can get a lot more Barbies in here, and friends of hers. But we’ve got Ken, and we don’t need to go deeper in that direction. So Allan fell by the wayside a little bit,” he told the outlet.
