Eva Mendes celebrated her husband Ryan Gosling’s Oscar nomination for his role as Ken in “Barbie” with an Instagram post the following day. “So proud of my man,” she wrote in the post. “So much hate when he took on this role. So many people trying to shame him for doing it.”
This accolade, a crowning achievement following initial doubts and “#Notmyken” ridicule, showcases the dynamic arc of Gosling’s portrayal. Their journey together, starting from their on-screen collaboration in “The Place Beyond the Pines” and evolving into a shared life and parenting, has been a testament to their strong bond.
