'I Heavily Edited That Statement': Ryan Gosling Shares His True Feelings About 'Barbie' Snubs
HuffPost
Gosling recently slammed the Oscars for snubbing Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig — and is now nearly "challenging people to a beach-off" over it.
Ryan Gosling had a whole lot more to say about the “Barbie” snubs than he initially let on.
Last month, the actor issued a stern statement after the Oscar nominations excluded “Barbie” co-star Margot Robbie and director Greta Gerwig from the Best Lead Actress and Best Director categories. While Gosling claimed to be “disappointed” at the time, he was itching to say much more.
“Look, I heavily edited that statement,” Gosling told Variety in a cover story interview published Wednesday. “I think if I say any more about it, I’m going to basically put on a mink and start challenging people to a beach-off on Malibu Beach.”
“In terms of people’s reactions, the film continues to provoke conversation in every incarnation. It keeps provoking this dialogue,” he added. “It’s the power of this movie. I struggle to compare it to anything. But it’s yet another reason that proves it’s more than a summer blockbuster. It’s a great work of art. That’s what Greta and Margot created.”
It is undoubtedly true that “Barbie” continues to be a topic of discussion since its release last year. The film sparked rampant conversation about modern feminism and the nexus between capitalism and art — all while becoming the first-ever billion-dollar film directed by one woman.
