Published 08/27/2024, 9:25 PM EDT

From shaking a leg on stage since his childhood days to doing the same with intensified glamor now, Ryan Gosling at forty-three has arguably brought the most color in Hollywood. From shining in painted blue hues of The Place Beyond the Pines to fitting into the perfectly pink world of Barbie, the actor really outdoes himself in each project. Despite the evidence, Gosling landed comparisons with and still up-and-coming star, Glen Powell owing to an unnamed producer.

An unnamed producer caused waves in his comparison of Gosling and Powell, labeling the former as simply a star who appeals to the female gaze in a piece published by The Wrap. Fortunately for pop culture, Glen Powell may not have had as many years in the industry, but he stepped up with grace beyond years as he wrote, "I am just Glen," while reinstating that Gosling is a legend.
