Glen Powell Expertly Shuts Down Producer's Ryan Gosling Comparison
HuffPost
The actor's response included a nod at Gosling's portrayal of Ken in the 2023 blockbuster “Barbie.”
Glen Powell has no time for those who attempt to pit him against fellow actor Ryan Gosling.
On Tuesday, Powell issued a playful but firm response to a Wrap report that cited an unnamed Hollywood producer who called him “most definitely an up-and-coming movie star.”
The compliment, however, included a dig at Gosling, with the producer also noting: “unlike an actor like Ryan Gosling whose appeal is mostly limited to female audiences, Glen appeals to both females and male.”
Powell’s response included a wink at Gosling’s Oscar-nominated portrayal of Ken in the 2023 blockbuster “Barbie” ― which, incidentally, raked in more than $1.4 billion at the worldwide box office and won raves from critics across the globe.
“Gosling is a legend. I’m just Glen,” he wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
