After the trailer for the upcoming film Barbie was released, Hollywood actor Ryan Gosling faced widespread criticism for his portrayal of Ken. Here’s how the actor handled trolls. Barbie is one of the year’s most anticipated films. However, fans have been skeptical of Ryan Gosling as Ken since the cast was announced.
Fans had only one complaint when the trailers were released: Gosling is too old to play Ken. And now, the man himself has reacted to all of the vitriol.
Ryan Gosling, a Hollywood actor, is set to play Ken in the film Barbie. Recently, the actor opened up about the initial backlash he received for playing Ken in Barbie.
Several fans were disappointed that the 42-year-old actor was ‘too old’ to play Ken. Ryan described the reaction as “hypocritical” in a new interview, claiming that no one was interested in Ken.
Ryan Gosling Gives Befitting Response To Ken Casting Criticism.
Ryan Gosling has brilliantly responded to everyone who can’t connect with his Ken. The film Barbie is directed by Greta Gerwig and stars Ryan Gosling and Margot Robbie. The actor’s age was criticized after the trailer was released.
During a recent interview, Gosling responded to critics’ ageist remarks and offered a solution for those who didn’t connect with his character.
Ryan was questioned regarding his reaction to him being too old to play Ken in Barbie in a new interview with GQ Magazine. “I would say, you know, if people don’t want to play with my Ken, there are many other Kens to play with,” the actor said.
It’s amusing, this clutching-your-pearls idea of, say, #notmyken. Did you ever consider Ken before this? It was fine with everyone for him to have a job that was nothing.”
“But then it’s like, ‘No, we’ve cared about Ken the entire time.'” You didn’t, you didn’t. You’ve never done it. You were unconcerned.
Barbie never cheated on Ken. That’s exactly the point. If you ever cared about Ken, you’d realise that nobody cared about Ken. As a result, your hypocrisy has been exposed. It’s for this reason that we need to tell his story,” he said.
