RVD Says He Liked ‘Barbie’ More Than Katie Forbes Did, Praises The Movie’s Screenplay

Rob Van Dam was a fan of ‘Barbie’.

The movie, which released on July 20, 2023, has become a sensation around the world and in the film community. Despite the fact that the movie has already grossed over a billion dollars, screenings of ‘Barbie’ are still selling out across the country, as many people are going to see the film a second, third, and fourth time.

On the latest edition of his ‘One Of A Kind’ podcast, Van Dam was asked if he’s seen the movie for a second time yet.

“Not yet. It’s going to be in September because Katie’s got a match in Los Angeles and we have this whole thing planned around it.”

Van Dam went on to praise the film, noting that he liked it more than his wife, Katie Forbes, did.

“I’d watch it again. She was telling a friend about it last night, she was telling Diamante and Kiera [Hogan], she told them that I liked the movie better than she did. I just appreciated [it], cause I know what they did with the writing of it. I understood how they were making the story of this toy into a screenplay and I thought they did a great job of capitalizing and really elaborating on everything they could to make the actual movie/story kind match the whole history of Barbie’s story. Not that I’m an expert on it, but I did see a documentary on it and I understand some of the pressures that the Barbie makers had because of the image, and mom’s being concerned about their daughters living up to this image set by Barbie. I understood what they were doing behind the dialogue and I really liked it for that. Plus, I like Margot Robbie.”

Following the recent FTW Championship match between the two men, Jack Perry recently took to social media and praised Van Dam, noting that he’s still a world class wrestler. Fans can learn more by clicking here.
