Ryan Gosling is talking about his ‘Kenergy.’
The 42-year-old star is playing Barbie in the highly-anticipated Barbie movie directed by Greta Gerwig and starring Margot Robbie in the titular role.
Ryan, Margot, Greta, and America Ferrera, who also stars in the film, all appeared at CinemaCon to promote the project on Tuesday (April 25) at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.
During the panel, Ryan charmingly spoke about finding his ‘Kenergy’ for the film. He said:
“One day I was bleaching my hair, and spiking my hair, wearing bespoke outfits and roller blading down Venice Beach.
It came on like a fever, like a Scarlet fever. Like, ‘Why is there fake tanner on my sheets? Why am I wearing jackets without shirts? What just happened.”
He confessed:
“I have to be honest, I only knew Ken from afar, I didn’t know him from within. I didn’t know my ken-ergy… I finally think I know what Dorothy felt like.”
Ryan adorably credited his co-star and director for finding that elusive magic:
“If I’m really being honest, I doubted my Ken-ergy. I didn’t see it.
Margot and Greta, I feel like hey conjured this out of me somewhere.”
