“I’m Just Ken” should have been one of the most ridiculous moments in Barbie, but Ryan Gosling made it one of the film’s most endearing
For Gerwig, Gosling was the first and only choice for the leader of the Kens. “Margot and I just wouldn’t take no for an answer,” she toldearlier this summer. “From the moment that Margot came to me and I knew we were making this for Margot, I equally knew we were making this for Ryan. And I did not know Ryan at all. I’d never met him. I just was sure, and as soon as I thought of it, it made me so happy.
“His comedy goes back to taking it incredibly seriously as an actor, where he never is doing it just for the laugh. And the way we talked about Ken was as in-depth character work as I’ve ever done with anyone about anything,” Gerwig added. “I’m like, if what actors do is perform empathetic acts for our benefit, I don’t know that anyone has ever invested more in making people understand the plight of this man. It was extraordinary.
