Ryan Gosling has two big musical moments in Barbie – an original song titled “I’m Just Ken” and a cover of Matchbox Twenty‘s hit single “Push.”

This Barbie has a strong core.

Ryan Gosling and Simu Liu, share an awkward moment while posing for pictures during the press run. The video was captured on June 28, during the Toronto press day — which took place ahead of the SAG-AFTRA strike that began July 14.In the clip, Gosling and Liu stand next to each other for photos. When Liu places his arm behind Gosling, the actor looks down at his hand and takes a step back, causing Liu to drop his hands.

Matchbox Twenty’s Rob Thomas has responded to one of his tracks being featured in the Barbie movie.The American singer-songwriter reflected on Matchbox Twenty’s song ‘Push’ being featured in the Greta Gerwig film, and confirmed that he was fine with the movie poking fun at the 1997 hit.The moment in film comes after Ken – played by Ryan Gosling – returns to the Barbie world after paying a visit to the human world and discovering the patriarchy. From there, he transforms the female-dominated Barbie world into a hyper-masculine “Kendom”, rife with everything associated with toxic masculinity.‘Push’ is then the song that he, as well as all the other Kens, serenade the Barbies with on the beach – with the rendition lasting for literal hours.While the moment is meant to poke fun at the ’90s band for being ‘the ultimate bro band’, as it turns out, the frontman is completely fine with his song being used as the butt of the joke.“I want to preface this by saying that I thought it was hilarious,” he said while speaking to USA Today, also referencing another time his band was used as a joke in a Hollywood blockbuster.

plot forward in “Barbie” — and Rob Thomas loves it.Matchbox Twenty’s frontman weighed in on the inclusion of 1996’s “Push” in the new “Barbie” movie — admitting he was worried at first about it being a joke, but has since recognized it’s a clever callout.Ken (Ryan Gosling) plays the track for hours on end on his guitar for Barbie (Margot Robbie) while sitting around a campfire.The scene (and song) is a pivotal point in the film, pushing an ego-bruised Ken to embrace toxic masculinity and take over Barbie Land — which Thomas praised as a perfect choice.“I want to preface this by saying that I thought it was hilarious. But in ‘Bring It On,’ [Kirsten Dunst’s character] has this douchey boyfriend.

Margot Robbie‘s Barbie is the biggest movie of the summer and is already breaking box office records for the year.

moment! On Monday, BTS member Jimin happily received Ryan Gosling's gift — Ken's prized guitar — after the actor jokingly issued a mea culpa of sorts for «borrowing» one of the singer's signature looks from the music video.«Hi Ryan and hi Ken, it's Jimin. Congrats on your big release.

There are a ton of potential takeaways from the Barbie movie, but one unexpected result of seeing the film is having Matchbox Twenty’s “Push” stuck in your head.

Margot Robbie has said she was teased by her friends for not having a kissing scene with her Barbie co-star Ryan Gosling.In the film directed by Greta Gerwig, Barbie (Robbie) and Ken (Gosling) never share a kiss on screen, which became a source of ridicule in Robbie’s circle of friends.Asked by People whether she was happy she didn’t have to fully kiss Gosling in the film, Robbie, who also served as a producer, said: “Uh no! That didn’t feel like a win for me.“All of my girlfriends were like, ‘Well you did a whole movie with him and you don’t kiss? What’s wrong with you? I thought you were kind of in charge on this one!’”She added: “I was like, ‘I know, I can’t check that one off [my list].’”Gosling, however, was happy with how they navigated their relationship. “It was so funny trying to figure out what their idea of kissing might be,” the actor said.

Ryan Gosling’s Ken may play second fiddle in the new ‘Barbie’ movie, but according to Margot Robbie, who plays the titular character in the summer blockbuster, “The Notebook” heartthrob’s lips were the real star of the film, which pulled down $22.3 million ahead of opening weekend — all without a single smooch between the two leads. Robbie admitted to People in June that not being able to kiss Gosling on-screen “didn’t feel like a win to me.”Robbie’s friends took the news even harder than her, having high hopes from the beginning that the producer of the film could work some on-screen magic in her favor.

Clayton Davis Senior Awards Editor There’s a moment in “Barbie” where Ryan Gosling, who plays the wickedly funny and insecure manchild, Ken, steps off the screen and yells, “Sublime!” It might be the most extraordinary Oscar-worthy clip of a person not to be seen on screen. “Barbie,” the new meta-comedy from Warner Bros, which also acts as an infomercial for Mattel, finally lands for audiences and could be one of the leading comedy films seeking Oscar recognition by year’s end if Academy members can take it seriously. Gosling’s iconic turn, at least, is worthy of best supporting actor recognition. Commercial comedies, particularly those without the added “dramedy” sub-qualifier, have faced difficulty landing Academy recognition for decades (i.e., Vince Vaughn in “Wedding Crashers”). However, a promising trend has been seen in the last few years with acting nominees like Robert Downey Jr in “Tropic Thunder” (2008), Melissa McCarthy in “Bridesmaids” (2011) and Maria Bakalova in “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm” (2020) landing comfortably in their respective fields. Gosling could join the ranks.

the New York Times. “Just come do the ‘Barbie’ movie, I’ll buy you a present every day.”Gosling revealed that the appealing offer “started as a joke in a text.”“There was suddenly this pink present from Barbie to Ken, every day, for a very long shoot. It felt unsustainable,” the “La La Land” actor told the outlet.

The highly anticipated "Barbie" movie, starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, is in theaters now, but there have been multiple controversies leading up to the film’s release.
