While promoting the upcoming film,Ryan Goslingreflected on the wholesome aura thatMargot Robbiecrafted during the production of the film, and how it helped all the crew members bond. This involved theBabylonStar scheduling one particular day in a week during the film’s production as“Pink Day”, where everyone on set had to wear something pink and those who didn’t were fined handsomely.
Gosling clarified Robbie would further donate the fine collected from this setup to charities. This maneuver from Robbie also resulted in the crew members creating a strong bond, as Gosling claimed the male members had extreme fun following this protocol. He said,
“Margot had this pink day once a week, where everyone had to wear something pink. And if you didn’t, you were fined. She would go around collecting the fines, and she would donate it to a charity. What was really special was just how excited the male crew members were. At the end of the film, they all got together and, with their own money, made pink crew shirts with rainbow fringe.”
However, it seems Ryan Gosling wasn’t entirely sure about accepting the offer to play Ken initially, but things worked out after the Australian actress decided to bombard theDrivestar with gifts.

And surprisingly, the actress kept her word without failing a single day, leaving the actor astonished. Gosling recalled,
“A lot of things you’d find at a Tommy Bahama store, and then it sort of turned into Sharper Image kind of objects… I thought there was no way she could keep it up. I mean, it was a long shot. But every day, from Barbie, [there was] a pink present to Ken to sort of stoke his ‘Ken-ergy.’”
