His kiss was on her list.

Ryan Gosling’s Ken may play second fiddle in the new ‘Barbie’ movie, but according to Margot Robbie, who plays the titular character in the summer blockbuster, “The Notebook” heartthrob’s lips were the real star of the film, which pulled down $22.3 million ahead of opening weekend — all without a single smooch between the two leads.

Robbie admitted to People in June that not being able to kiss Gosling onscreen “didn’t feel like a win to me.”

Robbie’s friends took the news even harder than her, having high hopes from the beginning that the producer of the film could work some on-screen magic in her favor.

“All of my girlfriends were like, ‘Well you did a whole movie with him and you don’t kiss? What’s wrong with you? I thought you were kind of in charge on this one!’”

She continued, “I was like, ‘I know, I can’t check that one off [my list]’.”

Gosling on the other hand wasn’t disappointed, saying he’s a fan of their characters awkwardly fumbling to figure out romance.

“It was so funny trying to figure out what their idea of kissing might be,” he said during the joint interview with Robbie.
