Ryan Gosling started out as a kid on The Mickey Mouse Club with Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, and Justin Timberlake. After that, he popped up in shows like Goosebumps and Breaker High, but nothing huge. That changed with The Notebook (2004), where he basically became every rom-com fan’s dream guy. Instead of sticking to that lane, he went darker with Drive and Blue Valentine. La La Land (2016) earned him a Golden Globe, and Blade Runner 2049 (2017) proved he could do sci-fi too. Then came Barbie (2023), where he turned playing Ken into a show-stealing performance nobody expected.
