Speaking at the Barbie panel, Ryan admitted that he wasn't sure at first if he should play Ken and didn't "see" himself as that character. “I knew Ken superficially and, to be completely honest, I doubted my Ken energy ,” Ryan told the public. “I didn’t see the future in this, but Margot and Greta somehow pulled it out of me . ”

 During the presentation, he joked: “I lived a normal life, and then suddenly bleached my hair, shaved my legs, put on custom-made neon outfits and started rollerblading on Venice Beach . ”

While most people familiar with Ryan's comedic roles agreed that he was perfect for the role of Ken, others still feel that he is "not Ken enough", adding that he looks "too old for the famous doll " .

But still, you must admit, Ryan Gosling is the perfect Ken. That's it!
