Barbie to The Notebook: Revisiting Ryan Gosling characters with MAX Kenergy as he turns 44
Hindustan TimesSugar and spice, all things nice! Ryan's birthday presents the perfect opportunity to jump back into some prime titles from his filmography which are proof that Ryan has been courting the essence of Kenergy long before he assumed Ken's legacy. An ExtraTV interview with Barbie director Greta Gerwig, shortly after the film's release, let the audience in on what exactly the vision was when the word was coined: "I sent him a video the other day of something that I felt had extreme Kenergy, and he was like, ‘That is Kenner in the wild.’ I think there’s self-actualized Kenergy, which is where Ken gets to at the end of the movie. Crazy, Stupid, Love We love a good redemption arc wrapped in some hearty laughs and that is exactly the trajectory Ryan's Jacob Palmer goes through when he realises there's more to life than being a skilled womaniser when he falls head over heels in love with Emma Stone's Hannah. Ryan's Seb wanting the absolute best for Emma's Mia, no matter the vast differences in where they are at their life, exudes very real world Kenergy.
