Margot Robbie Gifts To Ryan Gosling

How did you get into character? is probably one of the most exhausting questions asked of actors on any press junket. Nine times out of 10, you're either going to get a canned, generic answer about digging deep. And that 10th time? That's when an actor will want to show off how method they are, typically with an on-set anecdote about in-character behavior that in reality just sounds exhausting, or even abusive.

With method acting so often used as an excuse for bad behavior, it's refreshing when you hear a story about someone going an extra mile for a role in a way that's kind to their co-stars.

Will repeat Gerwig's previous films' Oscar feats, at least in terms of a positive on-set experience, it's clear the director has done it again.

Used a question about how he found his character to talk about costar Margot Robbie's habit of giving daily gifts to help put Ryan in the proper Ken mindset:

She left a pink present with a pink bow, from Barbie to Ken, every day while we were filming. They were all beach-related. Like puka shells, or a sign that says ‘Pray for surf.’ Because Ken’s job is just beach. I’ve never quite figured out what that means. But I felt like she was trying to help Ken understand, through these gifts that she was giving.

Margot Robbie gave her costar Ryan Gosling gifts to help him channel the character of Ken on the set of the upcoming Barbie movie.

Gosling spoke to reporter Abby Aguirre as part of Vogue's Summer 2023 cover story on Robbie.

You know how you have a voice in your head all the time? Robbie said. This woman, she doesn't have that voice in her head.

Sexy. People can project sex onto her, Robbie explained. Yes, she can wear a short skirt, but because it's fun and pink. Not because she wanted you to see her butt.
