‘I’m Wearing It Right Now’: Eva Mendes Begged Ryan Gosling To Give His Underwear From Barbie Set, Says It’s A Ken-aissance
The iconic Barbie doll originally appeared in toy stores in 1959. It will, now, star in a live-action film starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling as Barbie and Ken. The impending Barbie movie isn’t the first toy to receive the cinematic treatment. Despite that, it has the potential to be something spectacular or at the very least, quite intriguing.
Barbie has a stellar cast and a well-known director. Although we haven’t heard much about the story or seen many pictures from the movie, what little we have heard suggests that it may be a crazy ride.
Barbie movie features Ryan Gosling as Ken
Since almost ten years ago, the Barbie franchise has gone through several different directors and writers. As noted by IndieWire, Diablo Cody was once slated to write and direct the film. In 2016, Amy Schumer was set to star in a new version of the script written by Community producer Hilary Winston. However, it is currently in Greta Gerwig’s hands and should arrive in about a year.
“People generally hear ‘Barbie’ and think, ‘I know what that movie is going to be.’” Margot Robbie told Vogue last year, “and then they hear that Greta Gerwig is writing and directing it, and they’re like, ‘Oh, well, maybe I don’t…’”
Eva Mendes talks about the actor rocking the Ken look
The actress, 48, talked about her shock when she saw her husband Ryan Gosling, 41, playing Ken in the upcoming Barbie movie, which is now in production, on The Talk earlier this week.
“It’s a funny photo and he’s trying to be funny,” she said, “So it worked on all levels. But when I saw it, when he sent it to me from work, I was like, ‘Can I please have that underwear? Please, I never ask for anything.’ ”
The actress seems to be extremely enthusiastic about the character and the movie in general as she goes on to say, “There was something about the image that sparked my, you know, that little teenage….”
Eva Mendes has taken it a step above others when it comes to obsession as she confesses “So, anyway, I do have it. I’m wearing it right now.” Her comedic justification also fits the bill as she says “People do know he’s not playing a real person. He’s playing a fake person!”
“I feel like my man has started a real renaissance. Like a Ken-aissance. I see what’s going on.” She concludes.
