Just, like, the guy that was putting on Hammer pants and dancing at the mall and smelling like Drakkar Noir and Aqua Net-ing bangs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI owe that kid a lot. I feel like I was very quick to distance myself from him when I started making more serious films. But the reality is that, like, he\u2019s the reason I have everything I have.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ryan thinks he has given his version of Ken as much of a story as possible, saying: \u201cKen \u2013his job is beach. For 60 years, his job has been beach. What the f*** does that even mean?\u2026 and everyone was fine with that, for him to have a job that is nothing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut suddenly, it\u2019s like, \u2018No, we\u2019ve cared about Ken this whole time.\u2019 No, you didn\u2019t. You never did. You never cared.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post thumbnail-seealso post-80666 type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-celebrity tag-disneyland tag-ryan-gosling mv-content-wrapper thb-post-share-style2\"> <span class=\"thb-seealso-text\">See Also<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"post-gallery\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/socialitelife.com\/ryan-gosling-so-obsessed-with-disneyland-he-hangs-out-at-the-theme-park-alone\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cBarbie never f***** with Ken.
