Glen Powell\u2019<\/a><\/strong>s rise to movie star status has been exhilarating to watch, but he isn\u2019t comparing himself to fellow actors. In response to an unnamed producer\u2019s claim comparing the Twisters<\/em> star, 35, to Ryan Gosling<\/strong><\/a>, Glen couldn\u2019t help but weigh in on the matter.<\/p>\n \u201cGosling\u2019s a legend,\u201d the Top Gun: Maverick<\/em> actor tweeted on Tuesday, August 27. He then added, \u201cI\u2019m just Glen,\u201d seemingly as a nod to Ryan\u2019s iconic performance of \u201cI\u2019m Just Ken\u201d<\/a> in Barbie<\/em>.<\/p>\n Along with his message, Glen retweeted an interview between an unidentified producer and The Wrap<\/em><\/a>, which was published on Monday, August 26.<\/p>\n Gosling is a legend. \u2014 Glen Powell (@glenpowell) August 27, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \u201cGlen Powell is most definitely an up-and-coming movie star in the sense that audiences now go to movies to see him,\u201d the producer told the publication. \u201cUnlike an actor like Ryan Gosling whose appeal is mostly limited to female audiences, Glen appeals to both females and males.\u201d<\/p>\n Ryan, 43, has not publicly commented on Glen\u2019s statement, but the Anyone But You<\/em> star\u2019s tweet garnered extensive praise from fans. Many acknowledged the actor\u2019s reference to the \u201cI\u2019m Just Ken\u201d lyric, while others praised him for complimenting the Notebook<\/em> actor.<\/p>\n \u201cHumble, considerate king, this is why you\u2019ll always be famous,\u201d one social media user tweeted in response to Glen\u2019s message. \u201cModesty becomes you, Glen! You\u2019re a legend in our eyes,\u201d another chimed in, whereas a third X user wrote, \u201cTwo great people can coexist. Commendable standing up for Ryan.\u201d<\/p>\n Other fans called for a Glen and Ryan film collaboration, as one person tweeted, \u201cI have a man crush on both Glen and Ryan so I\u2019m not sure who wrote this article but they\u2019re wrong. We love both of them. And they should be in a buddy cop movie together.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI need you and Ryan Gosling to make a movie together,\u201d a separate user added.<\/p>\n This wasn\u2019t the first time that Ryan has faced criticism. After his Barbie<\/em> casting was announced, some disagreed with a Ken being in his 40s. Other critics picked Ryan apart for his appearance as the character, which Ryan\u2019s wife, Eva Mendes<\/a>,<\/strong> slammed<\/a> in a statement shared earlier this year.<\/p>\n \u201cSo proud of my man,\u201d Eva, 50, wrote via Instagram<\/a> in January. \u201cSo much hate when he took on this role. So many people 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><\/div>\n\n
