A post shared by Warner Bros. Pictures (@wbpictures)On June 15, the world as we knew it changed forever when Warner Bros released the first image of Ryan Gosling as Ken Doll in Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” movie.
Upon seeing the image, our collars suddenly felt warmer, our palms sweatier, and our mouths much, much thirstier.But Ryan Gosling’s thirst trap of a pic wasn’t the first time we’ve… felt sensations… when it comes to seeing a previously inanimate cartoon character come to life.Here are 5 more times we’ve found ourselves crushing hard on a cartoon-turned-live-action character…Freddie Prinze Jr’s Fred walked so Ryan Gosling’s Ken could run pic.twitter.com/QZXzaXWx9h— Michael (earth 838 variant) (@bashful_michael) June 15, 2022Twitter’s bashful_michael said it best when he said “Freddie Prinze Jr’s Fred walked so Ryan Gosling’s Ken could run.” For those who need reminding, Freddie Prinze Jr.
played Fred Jones in the live action Scooby Doo movies… and woof. To boot, Matthew Lillard (who played Shaggy) claimed that, at one point, the filmmakers intended to make Fred gay before Warner Bros got cold feet.
Sigh, what could have been!Okay, everyone always talks about how hot Mena Massoud is as Aladdin in the live action Aladdin, which I get.
