Malala Yousafzai Is In Her Barbie Era With this “Just Ken” Moment

She’s everything, and her Ken knows it. 

Malala Yousafzai took a recent trip to Barbie Land to watch the hit movie and she had her real-life Ken by her side—her husband Asser Malik.  

“This Barbie has a Nobel Prize,” she captioned her July 30 post, alongside a picture of her and Asser posing in a life-size Barbie box at a movie theater. “He’s just Ken.”

And, of course, while the 26-year-old is making a cheeky reference to Barbie‘s ”She’s Barbie, he’s just Ken” tagline—as well as a nod to Emma Mackey‘s Nobel Prize-winning physicist Barbie character—she’s also speaking in straight facts. After all, the 26-year-old is a Nobel Peace Prize recipient IRL, earning the distinction in 2014 for her efforts to ensure every child receives a proper education. 

For his part, Asser was more than happy to lean into the joke, commenting alongside the laughing-crying emoji, “I’m Kenough.” 

So what did the couple think of the movie? “We loved the movie, it was so funny and thoughtful,” Malala continued. “I hope this caption doesn’t hurt all the Kens as much as the movie Ken.”
