In a whimsical twist, the Barbie sleepover held by Greta Gerwig initially excluded Ryan Gosling’s portrayal of Ken. The organizers had initially intended the event exclusively for the Barbie ensemble. However, fate intervened, and Ken’s irresistible charm managed to sway them, ultimately granting him permission to stop by. Interestingly, early reviews have bestowed upon Barbie the honor of being contended for an Oscar nomination.
To the delight of everyone present at the sleepover, Ryan Gosling shared his lighthearted response. He expressed his lack of interest in spending the night. With an air of playfulness, he declared that he had other pressing matters to attend to. However, as a charming gesture, he sent a melodious singing telegram instead.
