- Former minister Matt Hancock, 44, was slammed for a cringeworthy TikTok clip
Matt Hancock has been mocked for a cringeworthy TikTok video in which he mimed along to Ryan Gosling’s epic ballad ‘I’m Just Ken’ from the Barbie film.
The former Health Secretary, who resigned in 2021 after breaking his own lockdown rules by having an affair with his aide Gina Coladangelo, posted the video on Sunday evening.
TikTok users ridiculed Hancock, 44, who posted the awkward video with the caption ‘I am Kenough’ – a reference from the hit film.
Ryan Gosling’s character Ken sang in the film about his unrequited feelings for Barbie, played by Margot Robbie.
In the ballad, which landed on the Billboard 100 this week, Ken wonders whether it is his ‘destiny to live and die a life of blonde fragility’.

Meanwhile, TikTok user Amba said the clip was ‘iconic but also deeply, terribly unsettling.’
