Unless you have been living under a rock for the past month or so, you would know that the world has gone Barbie bonkers. The movies’ global marketing campaign has certainly caught the eye, with adoring fans embracing the colour pink and some even going as far as changing their appearance to match the titular character. However, there is no Barbie without Ken, and he is by no means living in the shadow of his female counterpart - even if he is just a Ken. 

Coupling all that with the emergence of AI technology and the power of the internet, and you have the perfect blend for something to go viral. In this case, the Gambling.com team decided to throw 17 unlucky (or you could say lucky for some) Ireland rugby players/head coach into the mix and put them through a Barbie/Ken AI generator, aptly named BaiRBIE. 

Take a look and see for yourself, which player/head coach looks best when swapping the mud, blood and bad man rugby persona for the pretty boy Ken doll look? And which player/head coach should stick to the bench instead of the Silver Screen?

These Are the Ireland Rugby Player Kens

Methodology

• Images of each player/head coach were taken from each individual's official club website - Leinster, Munster, Connacht, Ulster.
• Each image was then generated through AI Image generator BaiRBIE to produce an image of what each Ireland player/head coach would look like as a Ken
