The cast of Grey’s Anatomy is feeling the Ken-ergy.

To celebrate the final episode of Grey’s Anatomy season 20, which aired Thursday, the cast repurposed the classic “I’m Just Ken” song — Ryan Gosling‘s star moment from the blockbuster Barbie.

The video was posted by Chris Carmack, who plays Atticus Lincoln in the hit medical drama television series, and who’s wearing Barbie pink scrubs and a white faux fur top, emulating Gosling’s onscreen look.

Several co-stars joined in on Carmack’s fun, with Camilla Luddington, Anthony Hill and several others featured in the video.

The clip has since garnered more than three million views and over 533,000 likes on TikTok.

“Thank you to the best cast for playing with me! Your talent and generous spirits make it a lovely place to work!” Carmack wrote in the caption of the video. He also revealed that the crew made “special trips” to accommodate the wardrobe and props seen in the clip.

“Thank you to our writers, producers, and directors that still work tirelessly to make our show successful after 20 years! Last but not least… thank you to the FANS!!! You keep us all going!” Carmack’s caption concluded.

In April, ABC renewed “Grey’s Anatomy” for its 21st season, extending its run as the longest-running prime-time medical drama in TV history — a title the show has held since 2019. The show also claims the run for the longest-running prime-time series in ABC history.

Daniel Brühl on bringing Hulu’s ‘Becoming Karl Lagerfeld’ to Cannes and beyond

Acclaimed actor Daniel Brühl has appeared in films like All Quiet on the Western Front, Inglorious Basterds and Marvel Studios’ Captain America: Civil War as Baron Zemo — a character he reprised in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

But in the upcoming Hulu series Becoming Karl Lagerfeld, Brühl takes on the titular fashion icon — and does it in French.

Based on Raphaëlle Bacqué’s biography Kaiser Karl, the multilingual star takes the designer through his career’s early days. Hulu teases that the six-episode series tracks “the rise of Karl Lagerfeld through the world of 1970s Parisian high fashion.”

That said, Brühl tells ABC Audio he was still surprised by the glitz and glamor of taking the series right to the heart of French popular culture, the recent Cannes International Film Festival and at the show’s premiere in Paris Tuesday. 

“Very glamorous. I mean, the French do it so well,” Brühl said of his Cannes experience to ABC Audio. 

“Also, there was a premiere at the Rex, you know, which is that old iconic, gigantic cinema. And, you know, to be there with a show is incredible. And it’s treated … like cinema, you know, it’s so incredible. I feel deeply honored.”

Brühl explained he and his co-star Théodore Pellerin were driven to that venue in a pair of matching vintage white Rolls-Royces. “And then the after-party was, you know, wonderfully organized in that ’70s style,” the actor says.

He added with a laugh, “I mean, the French really know how to do these things, I have to say.”  

Becoming Karl Lagerfeld will debut on Hulu and Disney+ on June 6.

The trailer release for Moana 2 made quite a splash: The coming attraction was viewed 178 million times in the first 24 hours of its debut on Wednesday, ABC Audio has confirmed.

That performance outranks the top-performing trailer for both Disney Animation and Disney/Pixar movies: the trailer for Inside Out 2 from Disney/Pixar attracted 157 million views in 24 hours back in March; Disney Animation’s trailer for 2019’s Frozen 2 grabbed 116 million views in that time frame. 

Incidentally, the all-time record holder for movie trailer viewership was crowned in March and also falls under the Disney umbrella: Marvel Studios’ Deadpool & Wolverine attracted 365 million views worldwide within 24 hours, knocking Spider-Man: No Way Home down to second place.

Ryan Reynolds jokes he feared being “decapitated” by “relentless” Hugh Jackman in ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’

In a wide-ranging conversation for People between longtime friends and now Deadpool & Wolverine co-stars Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, the pair discussed the training that went into their titular characters’ face-off in the forthcoming film.

Reynolds, 47, and Jackman, 55, also discussed being superheroes of a certain age. Reading one of his own questions, Reynolds asked, “What’s it like being over the age of 45 and trying to look like a superhero and move like an even younger Tom Holland?”

He joked, “I’m aiming to move like Tom Hollander,” referencing the 56-year-old star whose name is sometimes confused with the 27-year-old Spider-Man actor.

“I love that you somehow bracketed us together in that question, very generously by saying ‘over 45,'” Jackman said. “You can say 55.”

“I have some insight into you being 55 and doing Deadpool & Wolverine,” Ryan replied. “I couldn’t believe what I saw.”

Reynolds continued, “[Y]ou would do stuff where I was convinced when you were coming at me a few times, there is no way this guy’s pulling his punch. I will be decapitated by Hugh Jackman, and that will be his f****** cross to bear, not mine.”

He complimented the actor’s “relentlessness,” saying, “When Hugh Jackman is coming at you at 150 Australian miles per hour, you feel like there’s no way you’re not going to be dead in four seconds.”

Ryan added, “And thank God I’m in a mask, because under the mask my face is going, ‘Oh God!'”

The pair first worked together — as the same characters — in 2009’s X-Men’s Origins: Wolverine, and Ryan recalled how as a “green” actor he “learned so much” from the “welcoming” and “gracious” Aussie.

Deadpool & Wolverine opens July 26 from Marvel Studios, a division of ABC News’ parent company, Disney.

‘300’ – Warner Bros. Home Entertainment, 2006

The company is officially mum, but Warner Bros. Television could team up with 300 director and co-writer Zack Snyder on a prequel TV series based on his smash swords-and-sandals film, according to Variety

The 2006 film was based on the comic book series of the same name by Frank Miller and starred Gerard Butler as King Leonidis, who with his army of 300 crimson-caped Spartan soldiers held a vastly numerically superior Persian army at bay during the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 B.C.

Another 300 veteran, Snyder’s wife and producing partner Deborah Snyder, who recently shepherded his Rebel Moon movies to Netflix, will be back to produce the project, according to the trade, along with the hit film’s producers Mark Canton, Bernie Goldmann and Gianni Nunnari. Snyder is in talks to direct, co-write and executive produce, Variety says.

A Warner Bros. Television project could end up on any number of networks or streaming services; although the trade doesn’t speculate, Max would be a logical partner, as the streamer is under the same Warner Bros. Discovery corporate umbrella.

A tease at the end of the most recent movie in the series, 2023’s Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, linked the robots-in-disguise franchise with that of another 1980s favorite, G.I. Joe, and Variety now says Chris Hemsworth might help them couple-up onscreen.

The Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga star is in talks to join the first crossover event picture for the two toy-turned-movie properties, which was confirmed during Paramount Pictures’ presentation at the annual confab CinemaCon.

As reported, the movie will be executive produced by Steven Spielberg.

Marvel movie vet Hemsworth is already in the universe of one of those properties: He voiced Orion Pax, the robot who will become Optimus Prime, in the forthcoming animated movie Transformers One, which will be released Sept. 20.
