Which famous Kens will LeBron James be joining?

Basketball player LeBron James will be the first male athlete to get his very own Ken doll, as part of the famous Barbie toy brand.

The Los Angeles Lakers basketball star has said that he's proud to be a "Kenbassador", saying that he wants to "instil confidence, inspire dreams, and show kids that they, too, can achieve greatness."

It's even an inch taller than the standard Ken doll to reflect LeBron James' height - he is over two metres tall, or around 6ft 9in.

But which other celebrities have done Ken-ough for this honour?

Here's some of the famous faces that Barbie have made into Kens of their own...

Ryan Gosling

Probably one of the most famous Kens ever, thanks to 2023's Barbie movie, Ryan Gosling has had many Kens made in his image.

The actor fully embraced his inner Ken-ergy, performing music from the movie at the 2024 Oscars and wearing pink to premieres and awards.

As well as Ryan Gosling, there were many other Kens in the film, including Ncuti Gatwa - who plays The Doctor in Doctor Who!
