Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt took a comedic turn on “Saturday Night Live” as they bid farewell to their recent movie roles and reminisced about their on-screen characters.
Gosling’s Struggle with Letting Go:
Gosling, particularly, struggled to let go of his role as Ken in “Barbie,” leading to a hilarious monologue filled with Barbified lyrics and Blunt’s intervention to bring him back to reality.
Gosling’s emotional attachment to his character led him to sing Taylor Swift’s “All Too Well” with lyrics tailored to his Barbified experience, donning Ken’s iconic fur coat.
Blunt’s Intervention:
Blunt interrupted Gosling’s performance, reminding him of their intended skit related to their upcoming movie, “The Fall Guy.”
Despite Blunt’s efforts to steer Gosling away from his Ken obsession, he continued to sing, showing reluctance to let go of the character.
Blunt also joined in the fun, singing about her character and reminiscing on her role, adding to the comedic atmosphere.
Farewell to Movie Roles:
The duo finally converged for a duet, reminiscing on the summer of 2023 and saying farewell to their Barbenheimer roles, marking the end of their comedic tribute.
Even after the monologue, Gosling couldn’t resist shouting, “Ken will never die!” reflecting his enduring attachment to the character.
