Eva did nothing but support her husband. She captioned her post in January, \u201cSo proud of my man. So much hate when he took on this role. So many people were trying to shame him for doing it. Despite all the #Notmyken ridicule and articles written about him, he created this completely original, hilarious, heartbreaking, now iconic character and took it all the way to the Oscars.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She concluded with, \u201cSo beyond proud to be this Ken\u2019s Barbie.\u201d At the \u201cBarbie\u201d premiere in July, Gosling appeared to make a subtle nod to Eva by wearing a pink \u201cE\u201d necklace around his neck.\u00a0More recently, Ryan accepted the Kirk Douglas Award for Excellence in Film at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival in January and reflected on how making films has positively impacted his life. \u201cI got to meet the girl of my dreams, Eva Mendes,\u201d Ryan told the crowd at the event in January, E! News reported. \u201cI have two dream children. I dreamed of one day making movies, and now movies have made my life a dream.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He continued, \u201cSo the way I see it, there\u2019s no way I\u2019ve contributed half as much to cinema as cinema has contributed to me. But the idea that I might\u2019ve given something back to the thing that has given so much to me is too great an honor for me to express.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On the festival\u2019s red carpet, Gosling reminisced on the 2012 film he starred in with Mendes, \u201cA Place Beyond the Pines.\u201d He told E!
