Kevin Costner Surprises America Ferrera With a Powerful Recitation of Her ‘Barbie’ Monologue
During the 81st annual Golden Globe Awards, Kevin Costner surprised everyone by delving into Barbie land while presenting the award for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy Series. Engaging with America Ferrera, he discussed the significance of empowering moments in Barbie’s story, even reciting a portion of Ferrera’s memorable monologue.
The unexpected moment occurred when Ferrera, 39, highlighted Costner’s role in ‘The Bodyguard,’ praising a particular scene. Costner, 68, then stunned Ferrera and the audience by flawlessly recreating her ‘Barbie’ monologue, acknowledging the impactful message about womanhood.
A surprised Ferrera asked if Costner had memorized her monologue, to which he deadpanned a “No.” Costner emphasized the importance of such messages in films, noting that they create unforgettable moments. He spoke about the power of writing and the lasting impact it can have on audiences.
