‘Barbie‘ continues to be the great movie star of the summer. The film inspired by the mythical Mattel doll that in so many homes around the world has already reaped impact figures in just over a week: it is already the highest grossing premiere of this 2023 and Spanish cinemas have seen how the tickets sold out.
A lot is known about the film, especially how its protagonists are physically (that its main actors, Margot Robbie y Ryan Goslingthey nail it perfectly) and what their lifestyle is like (with mansions and luxury cars, with always everything in bubblegum pink, but you don’t know everything. And it is that the background of the film, with its messages about feminism, the The weight given to appearances or the role of man surprises many.
What many of the Spanish fans surely don’t know is that a Spanish actor appears in ‘Barbie’. Is about Sergio Cervera, a Catalan who has been working for Hollywood for ten years and who participated in the recording as an extra for the film. The actor has been interviewed in Rac1 and his details about the shooting are more than interesting.
Gosling greeted him
Sergi got there like so many other artists who want to succeed on the big screen. «I started working there like any other, looking for a representative and doing castings”, the young man recounted during his participation in the program ‘Versió Estiu’.
Cervera did not initially join the actors’ union and continued his career between Los Angeles and Barcelona, but thanks to his agent he ended up accepting jobs as an extra in the American industry to thus enter that market. «All my life I have liked Hollywood cinema and I can be there watching how they do it, and I get paid while I watch it”has highlighted in Rac1.
He acknowledges that although his appearance is not an acting role as such “it is very stimulating to be in this type of productions”. Cervera appears, specifically, reading a book (which is not seen in detail but which is known to be by the writer and popularizer Joan Anton Català Amigó), sitting on a bench outdoors while Barbie and Ken are talking and go to the real world to change clothes. It’s in the first half hour of the movie.
Only five seconds and he even admits that «I am not recognized”, but that does not take away the illusion that makes him participate in this success. “The day of the shoot was surreal,” acknowledges Cervera. “I was very shocked to see directly” the protagonists, she explained. In addition, Gosling greeted him because they came to coincide, says the Catalan.
Cervera has an extensive career in film and local television. Soon, in addition, it will appear in one of the premieres that is expected for this September, ‘The body on fire’which narrates the crime of the Urban Guard of Barcelona and in which he plays one of the best friends of one of the protagonists.
