Ryan Gosling discussed his role as Ken in the upcoming Barbie film during an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. Gosling joked about how the internet reacted to the first glimpse of his shirtless Ken, saying that it broke the internet but he was surprised that people were clutching their pearls over it. He playfully remarked that nobody really plays with Ken and that he is just an accessory. 

However, when considering the role, Gosling revealed that he found a Ken doll face down next to a squished lemon in his backyard, which he took as a sign to accept the role. The actor expressed his excitement for the Barbie film, calling the script the best he has ever read. Gosling also discussed his experience filming The Gray Man and praised his co-stars and the Russo brothers for their incredible teamwork. The Gray Man is currently in theaters and on Netflix, while the Barbie film premieres next summer.
