We all know that Ryan Gosling is a sublime comic actor off the back of The Nice Guys, La La Land and others. But he may have hit his comedic peak as the air-headed himbo Ken in Greta Gerwig's forthcoming Barbie movie, in which he's paired with Margot Robbie as the titular Mattel icon.
Don't believe us? Here's a response from at least one person who has seen the movie in advance.
I can't officially quit Twitter before telling you all that #Barbie is currently my favorite film of the year. Greta Gerwig somehow exceeded my expectations. She tackles the positives and negatives of Barbie so beautifully. Give Ryan Gosling an Oscar nomination, I'm dead serious!

In keeping with Gosling's alleged scene-stealing status, Ken is now treated to a trailer of his own. We see how he's cock of the walk in Barbie Land, all the while as he humorously competes with Ken variants played by Simu Liu, Ncuti Gatwa and Kingsley Ben-Adir. This means untold costume changes and more than the odd dance number – good to see that those La La Land skills haven't gone to waste in the years since.
