Ryan Gosling

Ryan Gosling said his character, Ken, in the upcoming "Barbie" movie alongside Margot Robbie has "no money and he's got no job."

“And then you know what it is, but I don’t think that’s what you think it is. “It’s not what you think it is, unless it is,” Gosling trickily responded. He’s going through some stuff,” he added.

“I have that Ken-ergy that you can feel, obviously,” Gosling said. The forthcoming Greta Gerwig-directed Barbie film stars Margot Robbie as the style icon title ...

“That Ken life is even harder than the ‘Gray Man’ life, I think,” he said. “What I didn’t realize was just how many people it takes to make an action hero,” Gosling said of his role in the thriller, in which he stars opposite Chris Evans. “It looks like it’s me doing all those things, and yes, I do some of it. In The Gray Man, Gosling stars as Court Gentry, a CIA mercenary who goes rogue.

The Swiss watchmaker says it’s fitting then, that the watch will be put to the test on the back of Gosling’s wrist in The Gray Man. TAG Heuer says Gosling’s character in The Gray Man (named “Sierra Six”) is the perfect embodiment of TAG’s “Don’t Crack Under Pressure” motto. Gosling was joined at the event by The Gray Man directors Joe and Anthony Russo, the same team behind Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.

Ryan Gosling discussed deciding to keep his Barbie-role hair color in ads tied to Gray Man: "The Gray Man would be Ken's favorite movie."

“We thought, ‘OK, we have to be authentic with the way we shot it, and it’s not meant to be a strict copy of The Gray Man. It’s a different campaign.” So it’s like multiple different identities in a way … but the watch stays the same. With this film … we were trying to create a fresh take on a spy character, so I felt this particular watch was helpful in doing that,” said Gosling. The all-mechanical 39mm steel Carrera seen in the film mirrors those traits and “you can wear it with anything,” which was important, said Gosling, because of Sierra Six’s varied costumes, which range from a red suit to a track suit and an acid-washed look. Many of the reasons why he likes the Carrera as his everyday watch are also why it works in The Gray Man, according to the actor. You want it to just give it to you.”

Did Ryan Gosling just tease the plot of the Barbie movie with Margot Robbie?

During the interview, the interviewer probed Gosling to share more about Barbie, but he only echoed Margot Robbie’s previous statements of it being unexpected to what one might think about it, as well as said he’s “excited” for it. While speaking to ET, Gosling may have teased some of the plot of Barbie for us. Barbie has had a major presence in toy sections for over 60 years, but next year, Mattel is partnering with Warner Bros and Margot Robbie’s production company to bring the famous doll to live action.

Gosling has taken on a plethora of memorable and unconventional roles over the years, but only one can be deemed the actor's crowning accomplishment.

Drive is full of hidden details and rich dialogue that makes it one of the actor's best. Despite never revealing his name and rarely speaking more than a word, Ryan Gosling's character from Drive is undeniably one of the actor's most memorable so far. Nick Cassavetes' timeless romance was one of the defining films of a generation, telling the heartwarmingly tragic romance between Noah and Allie. Ryan Gosling stars opposite Bradley Cooper and Eva Mendes in The Place Beyond The Pines, a gripping thriller about one police officer's pursuit of an amateur thief that results in dire consequences for both of their families. He was even nominated for the Best Actor Oscar that year, making him one of the youngest nominees in the category. It's this quiet attention to detail that makes The United States of Leland one of Ryan Gosling's best movies so far.

There's plenty of drama but no heart in this Netflix tale of CIA assassins, which jumps frantically between exotic locations.

The dodgy CIA commander is played by Regé-Jean Page, but Sierra’s old boss Fitzroy is a straight-up good guy, played by Billy Bob Thornton; Fitzroy has a fatherly concern for Sierra, because he once asked him to look after his young niece Claire, played by 13-year-old Julia Butters in a bland and improbably cutesy role. Sierra goes rogue when he discovers his own employers are up to no good, the evidence being a data chip in a medallion on the body of one of his victims: a very cursory MacGuffin whose exact significance is never really spelled out. Two solid hours of efficient Netflix content is what’s on offer here, the action-thriller equivalent of a conscientiously microwaved Tuscan Sausage Penne from M&S. Directed by the Russo brothers, Joe and Anthony, this has Ryan Gosling playing a CIA assassin recruited from prison for a top-secret black ops unit, one of a team of “gray men” operating in the murky shadows; he is known only by his codename Sierra Six (the other choices presumably being Cortina Six, Focus Six and Fiesta Six).

Ryan Gosling gets chased by an evil Chris Evans for two hours in Netflix's 'The Gray Man,' a mediocre spy outing from the 'Avengers' directors.

Yes, he is the best of the "Chrises," and him doing a complete 180 from virtuous Captain America proves that once again: Lloyd yells at underlings, goes punch for punch and snark for snark with Gosling, and absolutely owns a plethora of clever zingers like, “If you want to make an omelet, you gotta kill some people.” The subplot about the niece seems solely focused to flesh out Gosling’s stoic, deadpanning character, with mixed results – mainly, it just slows down the momentum of the fight scenes and verbal sparring. With “The Gray Man” (★★ out of four; rated PG-13; in theaters Friday, streaming on Netflix July 22), directors Joe and Anthony Russo offer up an action-packed but wobbly and familiar version of a Bourne or Bond flick.

The Russo brothers go big again with 'The Gray Man,' a spy-vs-spy thriller starring Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans and Ana de Armas.

Speaking of Bond: Gray Man certainly wants to compete with him and Ethan Hunt in terms of globe-trotting action, novel locations and wild set pieces; it’s a very expensive ambition that doesn’t always pay off. (A later hand-to-hand fight sequence, featuring the Indian multihyphenate Dhanush, is similarly valuable, though it ends very implausibly.) Knowing Six now has the drive, Carmichael paints him as a rogue and sends all his spies off to kill him. Working out of a French castle set on 19,000 acres, he’s a torture-happy ham with an infinite budget and no scruples. His assignment, one of the most ridiculously contrived in the history of hitman flicks, involves using a rifle the size of a jackhammer to shoot up through the ceiling at a man two floors above him — a target who just seconds ago was walking around in the open. Gosling plays Court Gentry, who was in prison for murder when the C.I.A.’s Donald Fitzroy (Billy Bob Thornton) recruited him as a black-ops assassin.

He’s always been good at inhabiting emotional and psychological nonentities, whether as a replicant in “Blade Runner 2049” or as a man scarcely more lifelike than his blow-up doll in “Lars and the Real Girl.” (At one point in “The Gray Man” he’s referred to as a “Ken doll,” an undisguised reference to his role in the upcoming “Barbie” movie.) Sometimes Gosling can make that restraint work for a character, like his emotionally tamped-down Neil Armstrong in “First Man” (2018), which happens to be the last movie he appeared in before this one. A computer drive full of highly incriminating data goes missing, historic European landmarks are treated like cannon fodder, and people snarl things like “If you like breathing, you might want to fix this.” Page and Henwick are particularly wasted in some of the most tedious Langley office drama in recent memory. The latest of those jobs finds Six in Bangkok, where he teams up with another operative, Dani (Ana de Armas, basically extending her “No Time to Die” cameo), to take out a high-priority target. I have no idea whether that particular torture scene comes from the source material, not having read “The Gray Man” or any other novels in the series by Mark Greaney, a protégé of the late Tom Clancy. I also don’t know whose idea it was to throw a screaming teenager with a heart condition repeatedly into harm’s way — a choice that might have felt more defensible in a movie that didn’t expect us to chortle merrily at every fresh burst of mayhem. “The Gray Man” was directed by brothers Joe and Anthony Russo, though it’s such a synthetic, soulless bundle of goods that it barely feels touched by human hands. He gives us another one of those ciphers in the new Netflix espionage thriller “The Gray Man,” which is the first movie to make me consider watching “Only God Forgives” again, perhaps to offer or even seek my own forgiveness.

Ryan Gosling squares off with Chris Evans and his "trash stache" in a fun action flick that happens to be the priciest movie ever from Netflix.

We need to believe this laconic executioner can bond with a literally heart-broken girl who lives in brutal isolation, and we do—they’re both hurt children, but only one is dealing with it at the appropriate age. While superhero movies have conditioned us—and, perhaps, their directors and writers—to expect run times of at least two hours, the pace doesn’t always merit that, and The Gray Man has perhaps one ending too many. Once the movie shifts to the present and Thornton acts his age, he’s less amusing but no less compelling, bringing a layer of resigned masochism to his life as a company man. Rege-Jean Page, who’s been discussed as a possible future James Bond, proves he’s at least up to being one of the super spy’s villains, as the man behind Lloyd’s awful antics; Jessica Henwick and Ana de Armas play well against him as coworkers sick of their boys club counterparts. Gosling’s Six, a CIA hitman who discovers some damning secrets about his own employers, becomes the target of both the legit CIA and their not-so-legit associate in Lloyd. Frequently more fun and escapist than some of the recent James Bond films, it’s also based on a book character (though not highly advertised as such). Ryan Gosling plays Mark Greaney’s freelance assassin and former CIA operative Court Gentry, a name the movie largely eschews in favor of his code designation, Sierra Six. For Gosling fans whose favorite movie was Drive, this feels like a slightly pumped up, dumbed-down version of that character, with significantly more to say about how he doesn’t actually have more to say.

Ryan Gosling shares his first reaction to becoming Ken for "Barbie" and talks his role in Netflix's "The Gray Man" at the premiere.

“He doesn’t want to be a spy and he has to be.” “It’s like he doesn’t even want to be in this movie. “I felt like I was seeing myself.

'The Gray Man' review: Netflix wastes the talents of Ryan Gosling in its new action movie, which also stars Chris Evans. Read on Boston.com.

Though action movies are always more fun on the big screen, “The Gray Man” isn’t quite good enough to be a theatrical must-see. There’s also a tossed-in subplot involving the teenage daughter of Thornton’s retired CIA honcho that tries to humanize Six that doesn’t really work and isn’t needed. Directors Joe and Anthony Russo (“Avengers: Endgame”) have been given a proverbial blank check by Netflix, and they have left it all on the screen. Sporting a villainous mustache, Evans smirks his way through the movie, spouting intentionally hackneyed line-readings like “Make him dead.” In the film’s tone-setting opening sequence, Gosling’s CIA hitman (known only as “Six”) battles a target on a rooftop that is launching thousands of fireworks, preparing viewers for the concussive, eye-popping film to come. But when he obtains incriminating evidence against a corrupt CIA bureaucrat (Regé-Jean Page, “Bridgeton”), Six goes from hitman to target.

Gosling just can't stop talking about his "Ken-ergy"

And then you know what it is, but I don’t think that’s what you think it is.” A true Ken-undrum, one might say. It’s not what you expect,” he allowed. “I have that Ken-ergy that he can feel, obviously,” Gosling shares, referencing Evans’ insult that his Gray Man character is a “Ken doll” in another interview with Entertainment Tonight. “I still feel like the Ken-ergy is alive.” What is Ken-ergy, you may ask? “I can’t wait for people to see the film. “It’s not what you think it is, unless it is. “You have a Ken in your life, and you know that Ken has Ken-ergy.” Okay, sure!
