Scott Evans is letting Barbie fans into the Mojo Dojo Casa House.

The actor, who played one of the many Kens in Barbie Land, has shared a series of behind-the-scenes footage and photos from the set of Greta Gerwig's summer blockbuster.

"Just a liiiiiittle late to the party, but I wanted to make sure to share as many favorite moments as I could in one post," Evans wrote on Instagram. "Which turned out to be a nearly impossible task — can three months straight be considered just one long 'favorite moment'?"

The post features a photo of the director with her cast — including Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, America Ferrera, Ncuti Gatwa, Simu Liu, and Ariana Greenblatt, among others — during their first rehearsal, as well as clips from dance rehearsals for the movie's big musical sequences.

Written by Gerwig and Noah Baumbach, Barbie follows Robbie's titular doll as she experiences an existential crisis. With counsel from Weird Barbie (Kate McKinnon), she embarks on a journey to the real world to find some answers. Gosling stars as the central Ken, who embarks on his own journey of self-discovery in the story.

"I felt like we were old friends," Evans recalled to Out of meeting Gerwig after sending in his audition. "We talked about musical theater and all sorts of different things, like we were cut from the same cloth. She finished the call telling me that I’d hear from her soon. An hour or two later, I got a call with the offer.”

Of working with her, Evans said, "Watching her think, her creativity coming out... it’s something from another world."

The comedy, which has grossed more than $1.38 billion worldwide at the box office, also counts Will Ferrell, Rhea Perlman, and Michael Cera among its star-studded cast.
