Ryan Gosling's latest film "Barbie" hits the big screen in late July but a sneak peek of his chiseled look as Ken has already begun circulating on the internet.

“People generally hear Barbie and think, ‘I know what that movie is going to be,’ and then they hear that Greta Gerwig is writing and directing it, and they’re like, ‘Oh, well, maybe I don’t… ‘ ” Gosling told British Vogue of the new role.

He's seen with bleach blond hair, a cutoff jean vest and a massive tan, fitting of the iconic doll. But his rock hard abs are what everyone is talking about.
