Ken only has eyes for Barbie, and in real life Ryan Gosling is all about his wife, Eva Mendes. After Goslingâs reaction to his song âIâm Just Kenâ winning a Critics Choice Award for best song went viral, Mendes took to Instagram to put her seal of approval on the GIF and express her love for her man.
Posting the viral reaction, Mendes wrote simply, âI LOVE HIM!!!!â Um, same, Eva. While writer-director Greta Gerwig is clearly ecstatic and the cast of Abbott Elementary applauds behind him, Gosling is visibly confused, maybe because another Barbie song, Billie Eilishâs âWhat Was I Made For?â is the seasonâs frontrunner, having already earned a Golden Globe.
But itâs not like Gosling and âIâm Just Kenâ composer Mark Ronson havenât been campaigning! They released a âKristmasâ version of the song, which Eva Mendes also approved of, writing on Insta, âSo grateful to @iammarkronson for getting my man to make more music. Dead Manâs Bones is my favorite band âŠ.when I first heard Ryan sing, MY HEART EXPLODED. More Ryan & Ronson musica por favor! â„ïžâ
And after leaving the Globes empty-handed, Ronson posted a picture of his torn-up acceptance speech in the trash. Should have just kept it in his pocket for the Critics Choice Awards, man.
Speaking of acceptance speeches, Gosling had time to prepare his for the Santa Barbara International Film Festival (A+ primo pre-Oscars glad-handing event), where he was honored with the Kirk Douglas Award for Excellence in Film. And of course, he used the opportunity to shout out his lady love. Reflecting on his career accomplishments, Gosling said, âMost importantly, I got to meet the girl of my dreams, Eva Mendes, and have two dream children,â per People. The pair met on the set of The Place Beyond the Pines, a pretty good movie people should watch! âI dreamed of one day making movies, and now, movies have made my life a dream,â Gosling added. Too sweet; now I have cavities.
