The first images of Ryan Gosling as Ken in Greta Gerwig's 2023 live-action Barbie movie have been released and are causing quite a stir online.

The photos show the actor posing next to Barbie's pink house, bleached blonde hair, a denim vest with a washboard exposed, and smirking.

Another wrote an enthusiastic paragraph about it all, and I couldn't agree more: "How can they keep making stuff this good? How can they keep making such good stuff, I'm so happy. Very good," the Twitter user posted. So basically.

A photo of Margot Robbie, who plays Barbie in the upcoming film, was released last month. In that photo, she is wearing a blue and white striped halter top, a large blue bracelet, and a polka dot hairband, smiling at the camera from the driver's seat of her Barbie car.

In summary, it goes like this:

I mean, is heaven a place on earth?
