Barbie actor Issa Rae meeting two young fans on the Golden Globes carpet might be the best thing you’ll see all day. It’s just so incredibly wholesome.
I’m about to admit something I have told very few people. I was a Barbie collector growing up. And not just any Barbies, but really cool ones like the Spice Girls and the Barbie Princess Doll Special Millennium Edition.
(I was deep in the TRENCHES, OK?)
So, when the Barbie movie premiered, I was beside myself. As you can imagine, my inner child was so happy to see many different versions of Barbie on the screen. That’s probably the same thing two precious children felt when they ran into Barbie cast member and Hollywood star Issa Rae.
Recess Therapy, a prominent YouTube channel dedicated to asking kids and celebrities to talk about important topics, like peeing your pants and the beauty of corn, was on-site Sunday at the Golden Globes when host Julian Shapiro-Barnum and two of his pals stopped to chat with Rae.
What happens next is magical.
