Ryan Gosling responds to fans criticising his ken casting in the Barbie movie

Ryan Gosling has a simple message for critics: He's just Ken. After details about the highly-anticipated Barbie film began to surface (especially when it came to casting), fans began debating online about whether the actor should be the one living a life in plastic alongside Margot Robbie. But despite the criticism, as Ryan recently noted, he's still ready to party. "I would say, you know, if people don't want to play with my Ken, there are many other Kens to play with," he told GQ in an interview published in May. "It is funny… this kind of clutching-your-pearls idea of, like, #notmyken. Like you ever thought about Ken before this?" The Notebook alum added, "But suddenly, it's like, ‘No, we've cared about Ken this whole time.' No, you didn't. If you ever really cared about Ken, you would know that nobody cared about Ken. So, your hypocrisy is exposed. This is why his story must be told." Fans will be able to enter the Barbie world soon enough when the film premieres July 21.
