Circling back to the awkward moment between Ryan Gosling and Simu Liu, a video on Twitter surfaced from a recent Barbie event where Gosling and Liu together pose for the paps. As the duo posed for photographers on the red carpet, Liu tried to slip his hand around Gosling’s waist, which apparently did not go down well with Gosling as he reportedly tells him, “Don’t hold me there, man. I mean, do you want me to touch you like that?” To this, Liu replies, “You don’t what – oh, it’s too tender? Fair enough,” before removing his arm away from Gosling. Since, the video quickly went viral, Liu later took to Instagram to address the matter while referencing their on-screen banter in Barbie. “I’d beach off with this Kenadian again in a heartbeat,” wrote Liu while sharing a picture from the London premiere, adding, “[Gosling] is the best human in every way, especially when he jokes around with us on the carpet and on set, infecting all of us with his kenergy.”

The Marvel star in the post added, “Now let’s get back to the issues that matter, like supporting our striking actors and writers fighting for fair wages!”
Social media users mocked Ryan Gosling for his behaviour towards Barbie co-star Simu Liu. One user stated, “He [Gosling] was so mad after like you can see it in his face.” Another stated, “That video of Ryan Gosling & Simu Liu is so awkward to watch, oh god.”
The next one shared, “This Ken doesn’t like to be touched across the nape of his back. Simu Liu handled it well though.” One person said, “I mean you supposed to ask before you touch someone” whereas, one added, “Is it me or has Ryan Gosling come off very arrogant for this entire press tour?”
An individual posted, “Dear Lord…..if I were Simu I would have turned to stone. WTF is wrong with Ryan Gosling!? He comes across as being so so rude all the time.”
