A dancer who features in The Hit movie Barbie has revealed what it was like to spend months as a Ken doll.

Gustave Die, from Crook, County Durham , appears As One of 30 'Kens ', alongside Hollywood star Ryan Gosling .

" We would have to shave every single hair off our Bodies - Then they would apply The Body paint on our skin to make us look like dolls, " He Said .

The 28-year-old, who studied dance at Gateshead College, said being part of The Film was an " Amazing feeling".

He spent three months shooting scenes at Warner Bros. studios in Leavesden, Hertfordshire.

Gustave was introduced to Barbie star Margot Robbie , and spent much of his time shooting scenes with co-star Ryan Gosling , who some have.

" Ryan's a very chilled guy, he's just a lovely guy, " He Said .

" He was very appreciative of our dancing and how we were, and The Vision of it all.

" I asked him how he was finding the UK compared to The States - he loves it here, He Said it's different for him, especially The Accents .

" He likes to know who he is working with, which is really nice. He needed that bond with his 'Kens ' - as an actor he wanted to act with purpose and build that vibe With Us . "

Gustave went through intense auditions to land his role, although from its supporting cast.

" Being a Ken doll was Fun - it was also a lot of work, " He Said .

" It was Every Day for three months - our call time would be four or five in The Morning , we would have to shave every single hair off our Bodies , Then they would apply The Body paint on our skin to make us look like dolls, " He Said .

" It's crazy what they would do behind The Scenes .

" When we saw the Barbie house it was Amazing - There was a slide. I said 'this is absolutely crazy'.

" When I watched The Film I thought, 'Wow, this is not what I expected', but it was Amazing how they have done it, how it was all directed.

" There are some good scenes which I Am happy to have been in - There 's a fight sequence that leads to a dance sequence, it's one of my favourites. "

It is not the First Time The Professional dancer has appeared on screen.

He featured in Matilda The Musical , and has also appeared in The Music videos of Ed Sheeran 's Bad Habits , and Unhealthy by Anne-Marie, featuring Shania Twain .

Gustave has also recently filmed for upcoming movies Wonka, Snow White , and the two-part, big-screen version of musical Wicked.

Now based in London, Gustave returns to the North East regularly, where he also teaches up-and-coming dance students.

" At the start I had to work so hard, especially coming from the North and going to London, it was a big move, " he added.

" I think this movie will bring out a lot in people, who will think 'Right, it's time'. "
