Ryan Gosling is determined to bring justice to Ken dolls with his role in Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” movie. He knows exactly how overlooked Ken has been over the years — even if the first look photo of himself as the character just about broke the internet.
Appearing on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” Thursday in support of Netflix’s “The Gray Man,” Gosling addressed that photo directly, noting that he was a bit taken aback by how people cared so much about it, considering it seems like no one’s ever really had strong feelings on Ken.
“I was surprised how some people were kind of clutching their pearls about my Ken, as though they ever thought about Ken for a second before this,” Gosling said.
