\n<\/aside>\nThere’s no one better suited to don Ken’s sexy abs, iridescent blond hair and plastic smile than Ryan Gosling.<\/p>\n
The Canadian actor, 41, is starring as the iconic Mattel doll alongside Margot Robbie in the upcoming \u201cBarbie\u201d flick \u2014 but he only realized the role was truly meant for him after witnessing a striking omen in his backyard. <\/p>\n
\u201cBest script I’ve ever read,\u201d the \u201cGray Man\u201d star said of the comedy from director Greta Gerwig, who had emailed him a copy of the screenplay to look over before he accepted the part, as he divulged during an appearance on \u201cThe Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cI walk out in the backyard. You know where I found Ken, Jimmy? Face down in the mud next to a squished lemon,\u201d Gosling told the host.<\/p>\n
He had stumbled on his daughters’ toy lying in the dirt, so he saw it as a good sign \u2014 and took a photo of the doll and texted it to the \u201cLady Bird\u201d director, writing: \u201cI shall be your Ken, for this story must be told.\u201d<\/p>\n\u201cGray Man\u201d actor Ryan Gosling is starring alongside Margot Robbie in 2023’s \u201cBarbie\u201d flick.<\/figcaption>Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nHe also touched upon the reactions to photos that have dropped showing him and Robbie, 32, in full \u2014 oft-neon \u2014 Barbie couture.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/aside>\n\u201cI was surprised how, you know, some people were clutching their pearls at my Ken as though they ever thought about Ken for a second before this,\u201d he said. \u201cThey never played with Ken. Nobody plays with Ken, man. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe’s an accessory and not even one of the cool ones,\u201d the father-of-two continued.<\/p>\n
Gosling also recently suggested his character is a bit of a loser in an interview with \u201cEntertainment Tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat Ken life is even harder than the ‘Gray Man’ life, I think,\u201d he revealed, referring to his hunted spy character in his new Netflix film.<\/p>\n
\u201cKen’s got no money, he’s got no job, he’s got no car, he’s got no house. He’s going through some stuff,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
However, he clarified his comments to Fallon, saying: \u201cThose are not plot details. These are just objective facts about Ken. That’s the Ken life.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
