Still Obsessing Over Ryan Gosling on SNL? So Are We.
He’s not just Ken, y’all. We can all clearly recall last summer — actors, directors, and writers all buzzing in ecstasy over Barbenheimer. The globe became dripped out in sparkly pink dresses, donned with alluring cowboy hats and ties. So much mania which became encapsulated with one singular song, “I’m Just Ken” performed by none other than Mr. Gosling. Who knew the actor had hidden comedic chops in spades? So, here at Aura, we’re gonna flashback to last week and break down our top 3 favorite Ryan Gosling SNL moments.
The SNL Opening Monologue — usually either a massive hit or unfortunate miss. In Gosling’s case, he pulled a homerun. Gosling started off by informing the audience of his tragic breakup with Ken, from the Oscar-nominated portrayal of the iconic doll. As he laments his woes further, Gosling whips out his signature fur coat from the film and sings a soliloquy to the tune of “All Too Well”.
Many individuals tune into SNL weekly for the guaranteed laughs and political sketches. Others, however, eagerly mark their calendars to see their favorite celebrity crack some jokes. So, getting to witness Ryan Gosling break character throughout his Beavis and Butt-Head sketch was a delight for us all.
Post Barbiemania, fans were drooling over the fantasy of snagging a proposal from Mr. Gosling. In this sketch, his character Harrison proposes to Chloe Fineman’s character in a seemingly perfect union. However, we soon learn that Harrison may be having a classic case of cold feet — leading to facial reconstruction, $12,000 investments, and fleeing the country.
