Ryan Gosling's first look as Ken from Barbie revealed. Twitter users have mixed reactions
Life in plastic, it's fantastic… is how the internet is feeling after the release of Ryan Gosling’s first look as Ken in the new Barbie movie.
Shared by Warner Bros. on June 15, Gosling is seen in a light-wash open vest denim jacket and jeans, Ken’s signature platinum hair colour and a pair of white boxers stitched with 'KEN', posing in front of a hot-pink backdrop (could it be the Dreamhouse?)
To say fans are loving Gosling’s new look would be an understatement. Here is what some are saying on Twitter:
