To his millions of fans worldwide, Ryan Gosling is not just a handsome face that can say “Hey girl!” in a way that makes them go weak at the knees (though he can and does), he is the defining icon of the new Golden Age of cinema, a 21st-century Cary Grant, as macho as he is feminine, with a total of 11 Oscar, Golden Globe and BAFTA nominations under his belt, and a Golden Globe victory for Best Actor.
Since his tenure as a leading man, 20 years ago in The Notebook, Ryan’s films have grossed more than $2 billion dollars, and his next few projects will certainly add to that figure, with Project Hail Mary, Wolf Man, Gray Man 2, and Margot Robbie’s Ocean Eleven reboot keeping him in the La La Land limelight for many years to come.
I’m Just Ryan throws a bright spotlight on the actor’s playful and positive sense of humour and philosophy and revels in his ridiculous charm and sexiness with a wealth of iconic quotes and facts about the man – the legend – himself.
“I did doubt my Kenergy in the beginning. I just wasn’t sure I could do it but I just decided I was going to Ken as hard as I can. I Kenned in the morning; I Kenned at night. If I’m honest, I’m Kenning a little right now.”
Ryan, on channeling his “Kenergy”.
“Eva’s the dream mother, and they’re dream babies, and it’s like a dream that I’m having right now. I’m dreaming it all.”
Ryan, on his wife Eva Mendes.
Ryan Gosling’s live performance of “I’m Just Ken” at the 2024 Academy Awards is already considered one of the most iconic moments in Oscars history. Dressed head-to-toe in pink, Ryan stole the show with Guns & Rose guitarist Slash and Mark Ronson, alongside 65 other “Ken’s”, and his Barbie co-stars. More than 20 million people tuned in to watch and sales of the song jumped by 900 per cent during the performance.
