In another instance of "celebrities: they're just like us," Greta Gerwig has revealed that she watches a custom compilation directly from the Barbie vault of Michael Cera dancing to make her feel better when she's sad. 

A.V. Club reported today that Cera, who plays Allan in the summer blockbuster, learned all of Ken's moves from the party sequence featuring Dua Lipa's "Dance the Night." 

"We decided Allan would know the entire Ken dance and be able to do it on his own on the side, just in case a Ken ever dropped out and needed him to do it. So he knew all the things," she recalled, before admitting to Cera that she was "sent a video of you doing this dance and I still watch it when I get sad."

She went on to reveal that editor Nick Houy made a supercut of Cera dancing for them to watch "any time we'd get stuck." 

"I think I need to get that from you for my reel," Cera joked back. "It's a good place to start, it's like, 'Okay, I've been debased, everybody knows I'm really valueless.'"

While we can't watch Gerwig's currently private compilation of Michael Cera dancing just yet, we can always keep our fingers crossed that she shares it with the public one day soon. For now, enjoy the official scene, with sprinkles of Cera grooving to tide you over.
