Ryan Gosling gets memed once again after confused reaction to Critics Choice win
Ryan Gosling is no stranger to becoming a meme.
The Canadian actor first cemented his place in meme history in 2013 in a series of videos on Vine, a defunct social media app, dubbed “Ryan Gosling Won’t Eat His Cereal.”
Now, a hilarious moment from the 2024 Critics Choice Awards on Sunday could trump that legendary meme.
It happened after “I’m Just Ken” from the box office hit BarbieĀ won the Critics Choice Award for Best Original Song.
