Eva Mendes Might Be a Little Too Supportive of Ryan Gosling’s Ken Doll Transformation
The 48-year-old actress admitted that she begged her partner for his Ken-branded boxer briefs.
CelebritiesMisc. GossDuring a visit to CBS’s The Talk, Eva Mendes swooned over the latest viral image of Ryan Gosling as Ken. The 48-year-old actress was so smitten by Gosling’s all-denim ensemble that she admitted to begging him for the monogrammed underwear.
“It’s a funny photo and he’s trying to be funny, so it worked on all levels,” she said. “But when I saw it, when he sent it to me from work, I was like, ‘Can I please have that underwear? Please, I never ask for anything.’”
Mendes clearly got her wish as she then boasted to the co-hosts that she successfully secured the boxers and was wearing them “right now.” Cheeky!
One person tweeted that Gosling “doesn’t look like a Ken and the blonde is bad. his facial structure is absolutely not a ken structure,” while another user said, “his bleached hair really is a bad fit” with a couple of puking emojis. Some called his transformation the “yassification” of Gosling and others compared him to Freddie Prinze Jr.’s character in Scooby-Doo. But Mendes was quick to defend her man against the online uproar. “People do know he’s not playing a real person, right? He’s playing a fake person!”
Must be nice to be part of a real-life love affair with a handsome movie star who can bleach his hair platinum-blonde and still look like a million bucks. Mendes obviously can’t get enough of her new Ken doll (same!) as she continued to gush about Gosling’s latest role, “I feel like my man has started a real renaissance. Like a Ken-aissance.”
Happy to officially declare 2022 the year of the “Ken-assiance.” As long as it cancels out every other history-making moment of the last six months. In the meantime, just find us screaming at every wild detail that continues to be leaked from this chaotic set.
