Grooms like Hudson Smith, 24, from Oklahoma City, Okla., rocked a Barbiecore-inspired pink tuxedo for his and bride Arin’s posh July 2022 nuptials.Men across the nation have, too, proudly crowned themselves “Barbie boys” as they donned various shades of the icon’s preferred color and sucked down cool “Pink Cotton Candy” treats from Cold Stone Creamery — a snack that was added to the ice cream shop’s menu just days before the “Barbie” movie’s world premiere.The demonstrations of super-fandom from other guys aside, O’Brien’s ode to the film reigns supreme.And while he deems the saucy social media reactions to his review “flattering” — Cyndie finds commenters’ come-ons amusing, too — the dad hopes more men begin to embrace Barbie’s overarching message. “The movie makes me rethink the movies I’ve loved my whole life, like ‘The Godfather,’ where there isn’t on significant woman character,” O’Brien said, noting that he still regards the 1972 cinema as one of the greats.
