Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling are the perfect Barbie and Ken filming movie in neon lycra

Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling were spotted rollerskating through Los Angeles' Venice Beach on Tuesday as they filmed scenes for the new Barbie movie.

The hotly-anticipated live action film, which is being directed by Greta Gerwig, is due to be released next summer.

But the lead stars have given fans a glimpse at what is come as they were pictured dressed up as the plastic duo.

Australian actress Margot – who plays Barbie - donned an Eighties leotard and neon pink shorts to glide down the famous LA strip.

She completed her plastic fantastic outfit with an early Kylie Minogue style visor in her blonde hair and acid yellow elbow guards and knee pads.

Ryan, who stars as her boyfriend Ken, looked equally eye catching in a matching outfit.

The 41-year-old has dyed his hair platinum blonde for the role and looks very different to any character he has played before.

As the pair rollerskated near the beach they appeared in high spirits and were seen laughing and joking on set.

At one point they looked like they couldn’t contain their giggles when Margot nearly lost her balance.

Last week the pair were pictured wearing matching cowboy style outfits as they again filmed in LA.

Ryan looked worlds away from his usual get-up as he donned cowboy boots, a matching hat and a quirky shirt with fetching white trim.

While Margot looked picture-perfect as the Mattel character, also wearing a cowboy hat teamed with a Barbie-pink waistcoat and flared trousers with glittering gems.

Margot is producing the film under her LuckyChap Entertainment company – but don’t expect it to be your typical tale.

The 31-year-old told British Vogue: “[The role] comes with a lot of baggage and a lot of nostalgic connections. But that comes with a lot of exciting ways to attack it.

“People generally hear ‘Barbie’ and think, ‘I know what that movie is going to be’, and then they hear that Greta Gerwig is writing and directing it, and they’re like, ‘Oh, well, maybe I don’t...”

Details of the eagerly awaited film are largely under wraps, but there are rumours there will be multiple Barbie and Kens.

One Barbie is said to be portrayed by Issa Rae while the other may be Hari Nef, who starred in Sex and the City's And Just Like That.

New York Times reporter Kyle Buchanan tweeted: "I am hearing incredible BARBIE goss at Cannes. For one, I'm hearing that Ryan Gosling is not the only Ken in the BARBIE film. Simu Liu and Ncuti Gatwa also play Ken".

Also joining the star-studded cast are Will Ferrell, America Ferrera and Sex Education star Emma Mackey, who played Maeve in the hit Netflix show.
