In the “Barbie” movie, Gosling’s Ken has the somewhat ambiguous job of “beach.”
“One of the Barbies' names is Gym Class.
To maximize their time together, Gosling included his daughters when he was creating his version of Ken.

“He doesn’t try and make you know that Ryan Gosling knows that this is silly.”
Esmeralda and Amada also went on set to watch part of the movie’s filming.
“I might like, you know, just hold off on them seeing the full Ken energy.”

Neither the actor nor his older sister, Mandi Gosling, had the dolls.
“It was Barbie land.
When I got to set I was like, ‘This is just like my house.'”

I played out full-on soap operas with my Barbies.
Fights, feuds, affairs, kidnappings.
Basically all the drama.”
