Ryan Gosling praises "exciting" Doctor Who star Ncuti Gatwa
"I'm such a big fan."
Ryan Gosling says Ncuti Gatwa's Doctor Who casting is "the most exciting thing", praising his Barbie co-star during an interview on The One Show.
Speaking on the BBC One talk show, Gosling – who recently made headlines by wearing a Doctor Who T-shirt celebrating Gatwa's casting – said he was a "big fan of Ncuti’s", whom he stars alongside in their new movie Barbie.
"I am such a big fan of Ncuti’s, he’s the coolest, and him playing Doctor Who is like the most exciting thing that’s happening right now. I’m here for it," Gosling said.
When asked if he had any teasers about his upcoming film Barbie – in which he plays Ken opposite Margot Robbie in the title role – Gosling joked that his other upcoming film The Gray Man would be a must-see for his Barbie character.
"I can tell you I think The Gray Man would be Ken’s favourite movie," he said.
Returning Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies previously appeared to be blown away by Gosling's Doctor Who apparel, posting on Instagram: "This is, genuinely, Ryan Gosling wearing a t-shirt of Ncuti Gatwa as Doctor Who," before joking: "We’re suing him, of course. Illegal merch #rulesarerules."
The artist Matthew Purchase is now selling the T-shirt, along with other items such as phone cases and coasters which feature the design, which fans can buy online here.
Gosling and Gatwa's upcoming film Barbie is set to release on 21st July 2023 and also stars Robbie, Simu Liu and Will Ferrell amongst others.
