Eva Mendes had one request after seeing Ryan Gosling’s Barbie photo.
The actress, 48, appeared on The Talk earlier this week, sharing her reaction to seeing partner Gosling, 41, in character as Ken for the upcoming Barbie movie, which is currently filming.
“It’s a funny photo and he’s trying to be funny,” she said, “so it worked on all levels. But when I saw it, when he sent it to me from work, I was like, ‘Can I please have that underwear? Please, I never ask for anything.’ “
“So, anyway, I do have it. I’m wearing it right now,” said Mendes with a laugh. “There was something about the image that sparked my, you know, that little teenage….”
When prompted about the internet’s reaction to Gosling’s platinum-blond hairdo for the role, Mendes, who shares two daughters with the actor, said, “People do know he’s not playing a real person, right? He’s play a fake person!”
“I feel like my man has started a real renaissance. Like a Ken-aissance. I see what’s going on,” she joked.
