Ryan Gosling embraced the carefree spirit of his Barbie character, Ken, by treating his family to a beach outing in Santa Barbara over the weekend. The 42-year-old actor, famous for his portrayal of Ken in the Barbie blockbuster film, has become the subject of numerous internet memes and viral trends.
In real life, Gosling, a devoted family man, kept a watchful eye on his longtime partner Eva Mendes and their two children, Esmeralda and Amada, during their beach day. Joining them was an older woman, who appeared to be Eva’s mother, Eva Perez Suarez, accompanied by a walker.
Dressed casually for the occasion, the Notebook star donned a red t-shirt, a white baseball cap, and blue denim jeans. Meanwhile, Eva Mendes looked radiant in a vibrant orange dress, with her chestnut locks flowing loosely around her shoulders.
While the internet is buzzing with Ken jokes, the success of Barbie at the global box office cannot be overstated. Forbes reports that the movie recently crossed the $1 billion mark, a significant achievement for a film that faced initial skepticism from producers. Actress Margot Robbie played a key role in convincing the producers to move forward with the project.
Ryan Gosling also faced criticism when news broke of his casting as Ken in Greta Gerwig’s blockbuster hit. However, the Canadian star shrugged off the backlash and showcased his sense of humor, saying, “If you ever thought about Ken before this… So your hypocrisy is exposed. This is why his story must be told.” Gosling’s portrayal of the lovelorn Ken doll has received critical acclaim, with his performance even earning him a place on the Billboard Top 100 for his song, “I’m Just Ken.”
Known as a dedicated father and loving husband, Gosling spoke highly of Barbie’s director, Greta Gerwig, acknowledging her brilliance and ability to create relatable films that blend drama and comedy seamlessly. Looking ahead, Gosling’s next project is the lead role in Fall Guy, a thriller set to release in 2024.
Ryan Gosling’s beach outing with his family in Santa Barbara serves as a reminder that even Hollywood stars appreciate quality time with loved ones, away from the glitz and glamour of the industry.
