"If you're a Ken, or Ken-curious, or just Ken-fused like I was, here are my top ten Ken-sentials to help you tap into your Kenergy." From a lightning headband and his roller blades to a surfboard and the watch he wears in Barbie Land, Ryan Gosling shares his KEN essentials.

SAG-AFTRA members are currently on strike; as part of the strike, union actors are not promoting their film and TV projects. This video was conducted prior to the strike.

    The fact that he's delivering all these absurd lines with a deadpan style makes this 10x funnier than it already is. Ryan has wonderful comedic timing.
  • @d.oertliche
    Everyone owes him an apology for the hate he first got for being cast cause he IS the best ken
  • @julesking1303
    The detail of the mirrored sunglasses that Barbie can use to apply her lipstick while hiding Ken’s inner sadness is just so genuinely accurate and perfectly represents the dynamic
  • I never noticed the Faux Mink coat had a horse lining and now I'm fully convinced this is the best casting and costume design of anything ever made
  • @MMM-wg2vm
    “Behind every great Barbie there’s a Ken who is totally fine with that” will be a quote looked back upon by historians the same way we look back on the great Greek philosophers.
  • @riseofazrael
    This dude is funnier than a lot of comedic actors without even trying. You can tell he's just a naturally witty person.
  • @kilayugao7989
    I just love how he just fully embraces his Ken character and spreading the Kenergy like he's trying to put awareness that Ken is more than (or rather more or less (lol)) Barbie's accessory 😂
  • @SoulKing0448
    As Alternative Rock Ken, I really appreciate how Stereotypical Ken expresses his Ken-Nature. I feel his Ken-Aura expressed to mine. Hopefully I get to beach off with him sometime
  • @WiseLuck117
    “Ken as hard as you can, everyday.” What an inspirational quote.
  • @Margatatials
    Ryan truly understands the psychology of a little girls playing with Dolls like no one else.
  • @coreybingham8299
    The Ken bag with Metallica font is one of the most brilliant props ever in movie history.
  • @AA-qb7ni
    Ryan was made to play Ken. He was my favourite character in the film. He really owned every scene he was in 😂😂
  • @NeonLeonNoel
    "Ken is there to reflect Barbie's greatness" wow, this is so insightful and shows how well they knew what to do with Ken
  • @danahimrich1059
    Ryan Gosling legitimately deserves a Best Supporting Actor nomination for his performance in this movie.
  • I love that he’s wearing the “hide your sadness” sunglasses when he says “and he’s just Ken…and he’s totally fine with that…forever…”
  • @artttard
    I don't know if any actor has ever understood their character as well as Ryan Gosling understands Ken.
  • @kirani111
    My favorite part is when Ken loses interest in Patriarchy the moment he realizes it's not about horses. I really connected with that.
  • What a relief. As a surf Ken, I was preparing to be absolutely rageful when beach Ken pulled out that surfboard. I'm grateful that beach Ken cleared up the misunderstanding before I got to that point. Thank you beach Ken for being so beach!
