Ryan Gosling's Obsession Has Fans Doing a Double Take

Ryan Gosling having abs should be as impossible as Barbie dolls entering the real world.

Beloved Canadian actor Ryan Gosling recently starred alongside Margot Robbie in the Barbie movie, which has become a pink-fuelled global phenomenon. The movie follows a gorgeous, glamorous blonde Robbie, as Barbie, as she ventures into the real world to find the child playing with her.

Gosling proved the perfect actor to bring Ken to life, with key features including bleached blonde hair, tanned skin and a solid six-pack. Changing hair color has become an easy and common task in the entertainment industry, but building one's body takes time and dedication, and according to one of Gosling's previous co-stars, having a six-pack should not be possible for the Barbie actor.

And it all comes down to an innocent, but unhealthy obsession.

Emma Stone has acted alongside Gosling in multiple movies, including La La Land and Crazy Stupid Love, and has had plenty of time to get to know the actor. One of the first things she learned about Gosling was his obsession with Twizzlers.

Whilst working together on La La Land, one of the first things Stone learned about Ryan is that 'can eat more Twizzlers than anyone you've ever met.' The actress went on to explain that he doesn't keep them all for himself, he hands them out to everyone, and even stashes them in his coat pockets.

Having a sweet tooth is usually harmless, but Gosling's beloved chewy-strawberry snack is very high in sugar and calories, which is why Stone believes it should be difficult, if not impossible, for the actor to build a six-pack for his role as Ken.

But, as anyone who has watched Barbie knows, Gosling spent most of the movie with a buttoned down shirt that showed off a chiseled six-pack.

So how did he do it?

It appears that although the actor has a weakness for Twizzlers, he is pretty disciplined in other areas of his diet and regime. When preparing for roles, Gosling adopts a natural food diet consisting of proteins, fish, vegetables and whole grains to ensure his body is in shape.

In his everyday life, the actor enjoys staying active and training, he also practices intermittent fasting.

Not everyone is lucky enough to have an addiction to Twizzlers and a six-pack at the same time, but Gosling has found a way to maintain an exceptional physique whilst still being able to enjoy his guilty pleasure. We are not sure if he will keep the six-pack now that filming for Barbie is over, but at least now we know he can do it.
