Ryan Goslingis calling out the hypocrisy ofBarbiefans saying they’ve “cared about Ken this whole time.”
The actor, 42, addressed the irony of people now loving that he’s playing Ken inGreta Gerwig’s upcoming film in a new cover interview withGQpublished Wednesday.
“Suddenly, it’s like, ‘No, we’ve cared about Ken this whole time.’ No, you didn’t. You never did. You never cared,” Gosling jokingly told the outlet. “Barbie never f—ed with Ken. That’s the point.”
“If you ever really cared about Ken, you would know that nobody cared about Ken. So your hypocrisy is exposed,” he continued. “This is whyhis story must be told.”
TheLa La Landstar added, “I care about this dude now. I’m like his representative. ‘Ken couldn’t show up to receive this award, so I’m here to accept it for him.’ ”
“It is funny, this kind of clutching-your-pearls idea of, like, #notmyken. Like you ever thought about Ken before this?” he added.
Gosling’s promotion for the upcoming movie — which reportedly follows Barbie (Margot Robbie) and Ken as theytravel from Barbie Land to the real world— has brought about notable press appearances, including hismemorable uses of the phrase “Ken-ergy.”
“I only knew Ken from afar. I didn’t know Ken from within, and if I’m being really honest Idoubted my Ken-ergy,” the actor told an audience during a Warner Bros. presentation atCinemaCon 2023in April. “I didn’t see it, but Margot and Greta, they conjured this out of me somehow.”

“It was like I was living my life and then one day I was bleaching my hair, shaving my legs and wearing bespoke neon outfits and rollerblading down Venice Beach,” he joked. “It came on like a light scarlet fever. Then I woke up one day and was like, ‘Why is there fake tanner in my sheets? What just happened?’ "
