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.”
