Ever since the first picture of Ryan Gosling as Ken was released to promote the Barbie movie, the actor has yet to be kicked off his ‘internet boyfriend’ throne. Ken was welcomed with swoons and open arms. The warm reception has only increased with each additional teaser, trailer and exclusive clip (he has a song, guys, an actual full-length musical number).
Now, with Barbie’s release looming large (July 21, in case you forget), Ken is already emerging as the true star of the show. Reviews have marked Ryan Gosling as a stand out from the film, calling him a “scene stealer, delivering most of the laughs,” citing that it was a role Gosling was “born to play”. Which is not to say anything negative about Margot Robbie’s performance, which is also being praised, but it is making one thing clear: there’s just something about himbos.
