'I learned so much about what the idea of Barbie means.'
"I don't think I ever thought much of Barbie when I was growing up. I certainly didn't have that much exposure," he explained.
"I grew up in a very heteronormative environment where boys played with this and wore this colour, girls did other things, and I really regret that."actor went on to share his hopes for the movie to "dismantle those really dumb, really archaic rules" and encourage "boys and girls to play with the things they want to, wear the colours they want to, whatever they feel like on any particular day.
"I learned so much about what the idea of Barbie means and not just to girls around the world, but to everybody," he added. "It truly speaks to Greta's genius how she's able to teach us without preaching."
