"From 'Blade Runner' to 'Barbieland' - Ryan Gosling's Shocking Transformation as Ken!"
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, meet the all-new Ken: Ryan Gosling, transformed! With a platinum blonde dye job, spray tan, and that obligatory six-pack, Warner Bros. shared a first look at Gosling as the iconic Ken in Greta Gerwig's upcoming Barbie movie, as reported by Men's Health.
The sneak peek of Gosling has the internet salivating, with the actor going for the classic SoCal Ken look. Of course, those abs are all-natural, as Gosling is no stranger to getting ripped for roles like "Blade Runner 2049" and "Only God Forgives." As Emma Stone once remarked, he looked like he had been "'Photoshopped' in real life."
"Barbie, Ken, and a 'Thirsty' Internet - How Ryan Gosling's New Role Is Making Waves!"
The internet's response to Gosling's transformation was, to put it mildly, enthusiastic. Memes, tweets, and downright thirst have accompanied the reveal, ranging from fans needing to see more outfits to some clever remarks about Ken's transformation. One tweet even amusingly stated that "Freddie Prinze Jr's Fred walked so Ryan Gosling's Ken could run."
Alongside Margot Robbie's Barbie, the film's star-studded cast includes Will Ferrell, Simu Liu, Kate McKinnon, Michael Cera, America Ferrera, and Issa Rae. But the talk of the town is undoubtedly Gosling's Ken, with speculation and jokes about the character's orientation adding to the buzz. What is for Barbie's benefit, and what might be for someone else's remains to be seen. But remember, it's a Gerwig picture, so expect some play with those Mattel arches.
A Barbie World with a Gosling Twist: What to Expect?
Gosling's transformation has certainly added a new level of excitement for the Barbie movie, and the film's synopsis promises a fascinating adventure as well. "A doll living in 'Barbieland' is expelled for not being perfect enough and sets off on an adventure in the real world." Sounds intriguing, doesn't it? The only question is, are you ready for a Ken that looks like a real-life Photoshop masterpiece?
