Ken is just pushing the "Literally Me" movement, after Drive, after Blade Runner, and yet he's still a role model for all males and now turning us to healthy Ken!

This movie healed me spiritually and physically. Best movie ive seen in years.

[@roselamoure]

I watched the Barbie movie yesterday and as much as I love Barbie, Ken definitely carried this movie and he was my favorite character the most interesting and fun without any doubt. Ryan Gosling was phenomenal as Ken he really has the energy, charm and vibes for it.

[@roselamoure]

@@norbertsusztek1316 couldn’t agree more! Ryan Gosling was made to play Ken, he was PERFECT for the role he really was an amazing character, truly the best one and he carried this movie ngl. It would have been so boring without Ken, he definitely was my face character in Barbie no doubt hahaha but Margot Robbie really did a great job as Barbie as well but it was a role that most girls could have played well I must say.

@@norbertsusztek1316 Please look into what feminism actually is.

[@asianwithswagable]

​@@charliek7896It's a feminist movie, it has themes involving matriarchy and female empowerment. How is it not a feminist movie

[@aleks-33]

​@@norbertsusztek1316Patriarchy hurts women in the real world. Kens hurt in Barbieland by living as second-class citizens to Barbies and living their lives in the shadows of Barbies and only wanting their attention and not caring about who they are as individuals. That's what happens to women in the real world - which was the point. But it also happens to men! That's the point of the movie! Everyone needs to find who they are and be their own person outside of romantic pursuits or what society deems you valuable or you will be miserable. That's the feminist message of the Barbie movie. Maybe you should watch it again to truly understand why you're KEN-NOUGH. 😅

Best GQ Essentials, we need more actors portraying their characters on these episodes.

[@themothermarkos]

Chalamet should do this for the wonka and dune press tours - if the strike isn't still in place by then!

I'm sorry for doubting his acting in Barbie 🙏 He plays the character perfectly

[@EmmarainePink]

So basically, Ken is just the absolute malewife?? Such a fire character, thank you for your service.

[@wittydrolls]

All of his answers are so silly but it embodies Ken perfectly. I wonder did the GQ team write the script, or did Ryan just improvise everything by himself?

[@lcg0103]

I wanna believe that Ryan was fully improvising because the Kenergy has fully taken over his mind, body, and soul

[@thegraciefighter102]

[@MrOasis316]

I’ve watched alot of his interviews over the years and he is incredibly funny in most interviews

[@joanneweiss3864]

It's 100000% Ryan, watch all his other interviews plus what everyone says, even costars in other movie interviews, about his unbelievable deadpan serious & brilliant sense of humor, improving with a straight face, takes ever seriously no matter how offbeat or silly! Can't wait to see movie for him!

I bet he plays with his daughters in character and has so much fun with it. It will be a constant joke of his as a dad the rest of their lives. Lmao.

No he has been like this forever. He might toned it down to get the mainstream roles about 10 years ago but this is Ryan all along.
