We got the first glimpse of Ryan Gosling as Ken, Barbie’s long-time flame, in the “Barbie” movie.
The image shows us a bleach blonde, spray-tanned, bare-chested Ken, with his underwear peaking over his acid wash jeans. His name is written along the elastic waistband. (in case he loses them somewhere is a guess)

It’s the second teaser image released for the Greta Gerwig-directed project.
The first image released in April showed an adorable Margo Robbie as Barbie, sitting behind the wheel of her convertible.

Although the image looks great, some people in the twitterverse think Gosling is too old to play Ken. Gosling is 40, while Kens is pegged to be in his early 30’s.
Others chalk it to jealously over his insane abs.
The storyline has been kept tightly under wraps, but will feature some other big names, including Simi Liu, Kate McKinnon America Ferrera, and Will Ferrell.
The Word is that Gosling plays one of several Kens.
The movie will be released in July 2023.
