Ryan Gosling is giving a glimpse into the highly anticipated film Barbie, following some of the behind the scenes clips on the set of the project. The actor shared his thoughts on his character Ken and unveiled part of the storyline.
“Ken’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,” the Hollywood star said to Variety, stating that “Ken life is even harder than the ‘Gray Man’ life, I think,” in reference to his character in the action film ‘The Gray Man.’

The actor also said that when he was first introduced to the character he felt a little identified with Ken. “Finally, it’s happening. This has been coming my whole life,” he revealed, joking that he “felt seen.”
“I felt like I was seeing myself,” he laughed. “I think a lot of Kens will feel seen when they see this. Gotta do it for the Kens. Nobody plays with the Kens,” Ryan concluded.
