The premiere of Greta Gerwig’s \u201cBarbie\u201d is still a year away, and yet Ryan Gosling has found a way to turn every press appearance into an excuse to wax poetic about his upcoming role as the plastic boy-toy Ken.\n <\/p>\n

\n

In an appearance this week on \u201cThe Tonight Show,\u201d Gosling was eager (\u201cKen-ergetic,\u201d maybe) to discuss the never-before-heard tale of how his casting as Ken was fated.\n <\/p>\n

\n

As Gosling tells it, some time ago, director Gerwig offered Gosling the part of Ken. The script was the \u201cbest \u2026 [he\u2019d] ever read,\u201d he told host Jimmy Fallon, but he wanted to take a moment and consider the decision in the fresh air.\n <\/p>\n

\n

When he walked into his backyard, he received a sign from the universe: An otherwise-pristine, shirtless Ken doll, facedown in the mud next to a \u201csquished lemon,\u201d Gosling said.\n <\/p>\n
